re: Trevor Lawrence may really struggle in NFL

If he said he was staying one more year, entering the portal and going to lsu you would drop your panties

Well yea. He’s a sensational college Qb. I would’ve loved to have had him at LSU.

I would’ve taken Johnny Manziel, Jamies Winston and Kellon Moore too.

Hell while we’re at it give me Colt Brennan and Matt Linehart.

Vince Young would’ve been awesome at LSU as well.

You getting the point yet or do I need to continue?

The same was said about Herbert

And, I heard some talking heads saying he is going to be better than Joe Burrow. I laughed!

I like the Stafford comp, while Burrow is Brees

Not sure if burrow is generational, but I’ve seen more from his mental game than Trevor. People easily forget, but I’ve talked to a lot of people who said they’ve never seen a college qb play like burrow did last year. These were unbiased people. The way he read the field and his decision making was unreal.

When his pocket is not clean, and he is pressured he gets happy feet and is inaccurate.

This is every QB, dumb arse. Some of you are fricking stupid. Lawrence is going to be just fine.

Couple things to note on Lawrence and Clemson’s offense.

One, really pay attention to that offense and you’ll see he’s rarely making full reads. Clemson has a diverse running game which allows them to set up a variety of play action looks along with screens, swing passes, misdirection passes, etc that are largely predetermined as far as where he’s supposed to go with the ball. He usually just has to make the throw to whoever the play is designed for, or make half field reads. That will undoubtedly be a huge adjustment for him in the NFL. Justin Herbert ran a pretty rudimentary passing offense at Oregon, and to most people’s surprise has excelled right out the gate in the NFL, so it’s not a death sentence. But Herbert is also brilliant and ihe almost seems more comfortable with a more sophisticated scheme.

Two, Lawrence has a very long delivery which I think is why he struggles with accuracy when he doesn’t have a clean pocket. He’d be better off tightening things up a bit which I’m sure he’ll work on. Trent Dilfer touched on some of this stuff the last time he went on Russillo’s pod.

A lot of his issues can be fixed.

Like when he's heavily pressured throwing off his back foot...the majority of which would all be picked in the NFL. So every NFL team is going to get rid of that from him.

He has the tools. People act like QBs don't grow in the NFL and learn and are taught. Rodgers sat behind Favre for years and teams didn't want him because he had that funky Tedford throwing position, stance and mechanics.

Well, he got rid of that in the NFL. Look at Rodgers in College and look at him in the Pros...his mechanics are all different.

Trevor has the tools that's all that matters. Is he polished like Burrow, no.

Does he often look a lot better because his receivers have a history of making amazing catches, yes.

But he can move outside the pocket and throw like Rodgers and has the arm strength.

He'll only be a bust if he goes to a shite-arse team that doesn't have any patience.

Is he a leader of men? Doesn’t look like it.
