Trevor has been exactly what I expected from him. He just doesn't have a passion for the game.  

He can get better, although i doubt he ever delops to be the QB he has the potential of being. 

Trevor also has a lot of injuries creeping on him the last 2 years.   Wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the intentional short career route of his own choosing.  Seeing that more and more.   He is a smart kid and from the jump he sees beyond football.

Trevor had the generational resume though.  3 seasons, 3 undefeated regular seasons.  Only 2 Ls that came in the playoffs.  And he checked every physical box. 

but he wasn’t as good as Watson at Clemson. 

Clemson had a much superior lineup to virtually any team they played they played in the regular season.  Having a lineup that good makes a good qb look great, and a below average qb look average.  In Lawrence's last season, Uiagalelei went 1-1 and scored 40 in a loss to Notre Dame while Lawrence was out with injury.

True.  But Trevor was still that dude largely in the college playoff.  And every team they saw minus Notre Dame was more talented. 

his resume….IMO is the best college resume of the last decade.  so you take that plus his tools and I get the generational talk.

But as I said, he wasn’t even the best Clemson QB of that decade.  Resume and play aren’t the same things

The games didn't always match that. I would say he also benefitted from a weak ACC and a very strong overall Clemson team.

Not to say he wasn't clearly one of the best QB's in college but the hype was never the reality. It really hasn't ever been since high school.

Yeah, as I said…on paper, you can’t really come up with a QB with a better resume in all of college football the last 10 years and then some.  

And at the same time, Trevor wasn’t even the best actual QB at Clemson during that span. 

You deep dive into say his freshamn year which ended with Trevor beating that Bama team the media was going to crown the greatest team of all time when they won……and Clemson had to insert Kelly Bryant into games that year to basically get the win for a streaky Trevor.  Trevor was never Luck in reality.  He always had the dumb plays mixed in his entire career.

I agree.  I think a big part of the problem though is that the number of people who be generational (elite) qb's in the NFL is exceedingly small and its difficult to accurately judge that ability because, among other things, the talent disparity in teams.  Arguably the two best qb's in the NFL right now (Allen and Mahomes), while certainly well known, weren't called generational talents in college.  If Mahomes had played for Alabama, he would have come into the NFL with more hype than Lawrence.  But he played for Texas Tech and got drafted after Mitch Trubiski.

Tom Brady and Josh Allen could have played for Bama and no one could have predicted what he would have become.   Think they just had a longer development window that was going to be in play. 

Mahomes? Who knows.  I could see him being the GOAT prospect at Bama and I also could see Saban hating Mahomes keeping him on the sideline for another prospect.  So much of what makes Mahomes is risky/dumb play that just seems to always work out….and a coach like Saban would have hated that lol.

Yeah, his mind was beyond football before he was even drafted. So this is agree with.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
