Crazy talent, but he doesn't seem to know how to win when it counts.

 

Maybe it's a HC thing, but he has talent around him. He needs to start winning.

Everything seemed panicked and rushed to me. I didn't watch the 1st 3 quarters so I don't know what kind of pressure he was under all game but his throws just seemed like he just unloading it to throw it not because the reciever was open at all. I really don't think his weapons are any better then ours though

In fairness to Lawrence, do keep in mind he is currently playing with a high ankle sprain.

But, agreed on the general statement of his hype being a bit much. 

Reminds me of Luck. All the hype about being a generational talent with pretty mixed career results. Although injuries will ultimately get most of the blame for that.

He looked physically fine. His accuracy is just really spotty and his decision making and ball security aren't improving like you normally see with young QBs. He just doesn't seem to be developing. When you've started as many games as he has you shouldn't be making the types of mistakes he's consistently making.

He has been playing through injury all year.  It frankly is amazing he suited up last week if you watched his injury.  

He made HUGE strides from year one to year 2.   Trevor is a lab QB physically.  In-between the ears has always been where he lacked IMO.   Even at Clemson he made a lot of boneheaded throws at his peak there. 

I put him in the Herbert tier.  They just need to take one more step.   Trevor's pretty young.  I almost consider him a year 2ish player given the Urban thing.

Cam was more cerebral than people give him credit for. He usually had ideas of what the defense was doing and where he was going. He never got his footwork right so yeah his accuracy suffered, but he was also in an offense that featured longer passes that have lower accuracy on average in that Air Coryell offense that thrived on a running game and deep passes. I still remember the play where he mocked Clay Matthew’s for trying to identify our play and immediately threw a TD after telling him to “watch this.”

Granted, and probably also true of Delhomme, but neither were "mastermind" types 

To be honest, that particular type of quarterback is very rare. I'm not sure there is one in the NFL right now.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
