I have said this before. I feel like people are so locked in on Lawrence they ignore some red flags. I saw some accuracy issues last year when he was under pressure that I just can’t forget. Burrow was killing that kind of throws even under pressure.

[@kramalerav]

I agree. While I think don’t think he’ll by no means be an outright bust, I’m not sold on Lawrence as the next big thing. I seriously doubt he’ll be better than Burrow (assuming Joe’s career doesn’t go the way of David Carr with that atrocious line in Cincy). Also, T-Law needs to bulk up on some muscle. That skinny frame won’t cut it with today’s linebackers.

[@pauliej345]

I thought the same thing and everyone calls me crazy. I'm not saying Lawrence is a bust but I think he has some holes and I don't think he's the best prospect since Andrew Luck. In fact Luck even had some issues even in the NFL.

[@bmdub]

I've also seen him absolutely stare down receivers with the eye of sauron on the regular. He did make some amazing throws and played well in several high pressure games though. Honestly I think the pressure of going number 1 and being the generational talent that will be the savior of the franchise in jacksonville could be too much. Perhaps wilson going first would be the best thing to happen for his career long term if it can vent the pressure cooker even a little bit. The new york media is brutal though...

I’m not sure you knew this, but the last 3 names you mentioned weren’t spectacular their rookie year, and it counted on development, which isn’t something you can predict. He’s essentially just throwing a dart and hoping he gets lucky.

Lance could be as high as 3 because of his physical traits but there's not much 2020 film of him but he's similar to Josh Allen with his high ceiling as a developing QB.

He sees the same thing I have seen with Lawrence, he just doesn't want to say it. There's something with Lawrence, you see it take hold once he starts feeling pressure, some panic that breaks his mental concentration. Sometimes you can fix it, sometimes you get Cutler or Trubisky.

@@gnielsen07 Which is pretty clear. If not for the Saints giving the game away in the 4th quarter, the narrative is completely different. TB's defense won them the NFC championship and SuperBowl clearly. It's ludicrous to try and claim that Brady even outplayed Mahomes in the SuperBowl, they were playing a completely different game. Of course Brady is the GOAT regardless what happened this year, but their defense, weapons, and offensive line were completely dominant.

Don't think you understand football. Controlling offense has a lot to do with how successful a defense is. Brady can sling it when necessary. He can also kill the clock, take the dink, throw arm punt interceptions.... whatever it takes to win. Defense did not win the championship... it was complementary football masterminded by the quarterback.

Zack throwing the ball is spectacular. I saw one throw where the ball looked like it was photoshopped into the wide outs hands. Plus he has lack luster help. Trevor has had the best supporting cat any college player has ever had.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually agree with Simms on Trevor Lawerence. I think he has been hyped for so long and has the prototypical size and measurables that it has been a foregone conclusion that he would be taken number one. After watching his performance in big games, I feel like he could end up not living up to the billing. I don’t think he is going to be that franchise, transcendent QB that everyone is predicting I actually rate him behind Jones as well ,who I believe is being undervalued because he had all those weapons at Alabama Hurts and Tua had those types of players also and they did not come close to putting up the numbers that Jones did last season

[@Bluewatercat]

I been saying it for a while. Zach Wilson is legit

[@carvanjackson6264]

In my humble opinion, Justin Fields is the best quarterback in the draft. Followed by Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence is not as great as everyone is trying to make him out to be, the ACC did not have competition. Justin Fields arm talent is far better than anyone in this draft, full stop.

man I'm here to tell y'all this man Chris Simms as a former QB really know what he is talking about especially about Justin fields and Trey lance he is 100% right they are both good playmakers on the run with play actions but one thing in the NFL those defensives backs or linebackers are better and faster there won't be that much opportunity to run away all over the place many times they gonna have to step up in the pocket and make plays I agree with Chris Simms where he ranks both of them for the same reason not much plays other than play action and read options if there are no open receivers they just take off and run that's good instead of getting sack but there is a lot of risk of getting injured
