Maybe we just need to stop labeling multiple QBs each year as “generational”

[@JustAnFootballGuy]

Agreed. I see there only being 4 true Generational guys, hence why I only included those guys int he video. But the "Generational" term is thrown around way too much. Like Caleb this year... He is "Generational", he absolutely is not. He is very talented QB. Not a Generational Prospect.

[@jackhandy8242]

I think the biggest thing about Trevor Lawrence is his dedication. After he was drafted he said that he has other interests beyond football, that football isn't everything to him (or something like that). And that's the thing, you have to be all-in when you're going to be a legend like Elway, Peyton, TB12 - the sun rose and set for football to those guys. TB12 was 157 when he retired, and now he's broadcasting...in talks to be an NFL owner. Peyton does his MNF thing with Eli, he's involved in youth camps and all that. Elway was the GM of the Broncos until recently. I'm sure they have other interests as well, but football still seems to mean more to them. Lawrence may just need more time to marinate, but it could be that he's just never going to be as invested as the greats. I see Lawrence following Andrew Luck into early retirement more than I see Lawrence become one of the greats.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

No one can judge a supposed "generational" QB this early into their career. With that said, Elway WAS the Broncos and their offense. Wins and losses do not measure just how good certain players were and that holds true for their records early on in their careers. Also, Elway and other QB's played in a time when QB's weren't put in a bubble and protected by the rules and the officials. Those QB's took a beating, week in and week out. Defenders were allowed to play defense, sometimes far too much defense. Receivers were mugged half of the time and those QB's had to do a lot more with a lot less help from the officials. Sorry, it's still too early to tell but Trevor Lawrence is at an advantage just because of the era he has begun playing in. Imagine some of these modern QB's playing with the hits and pounding of years ago? Everyone likes Patrick Mahomes, myself included, but he (literally) runs to the officials on any play that doesn't go his way, and all of these guys are almost held to rules of 2 hand touch or flag football. Heck, the "Pro Bowl" has actually gone to 2 hand touch. That's still embarrassing to say out loud. Yes, a player can't control when they come into the game, but you then should be able to expect more from them, being that they did come in at a different time. Trevor Lawrence will have some good seasons but he is not looking like the "generational talent" many people thought he was going to be.

He is good, but relative to how much he was hyped coming into the draft, he is the biggest bust in NFL history.

[@EA150]

@@JustAnFootballGuy the thing is, given how much he was hyped before the draft, his career should have turned out as the greatest QB of all-time by a significant margin. If he lived up to the hype, he would be far better than Mahomes and the Jags would have won the Super Bowl all 3 seasons so far. This guy was hyped up to be the second coming of Christ himself, and even now people fail to realize that when evaluating his potential. So maybe “bust” is the wrong term, but he is the biggest draft disappointment even when compared to actual busts like Ryan Leaf.

[@rpannier]

The biggest problem for me, talking about Elway was he played on a team in a conference, that if you removed the Raiders, the conference flat out sucked. You go through the Super Bowls from 84-97, the only question was "At what point in the first half will the game be over?" (exceptions being the Bills 91 and Bengals 89). The NFC Championship game was referred to as the 'Real Super Bowl'. Elway got smoked during his first couple of years. A lasting memory in the minds of all Raider fans from early on was, the Raiders had knocked around Elway so much that when he came out of the huddle in the 2nd half, the defense got in position and then stood up pointing and laughing because Elway had lined up behind a guard. He benefited early on from being in a garbage conference, with mostly 2nd rate qbs, or good qbs on lesser teams (Marino in Miami losing 38-16 to SF as an example). Lawrence is in a conference with several very solid qbs, and the NFC has some as well. He's just not as successful; Jacksonville is not as good an all-around team as KC, Baltimore, Cincinnati, probably Buffalo. Miami is on a positive trajectory, and Houston may have the next greatest qb in football (we'll see as time goes on). So, at best, Jacksonville may be the 9th best team in a strong conference (previous 6 plus Pittsburgh, Cleveland, maybe even San Diego with their new coach). And the NFC has at least six teams, probably more, that are better than Jacksonville as a team (SF, Dallas, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Detroit). Is Jax a better team than Seattle, NO, or Indy? -- all were 9-8 last year as well.

yelling and screaming doesn't mean anything. Joe Montana wasn't a yeller or screamer and he led the 49ers just fine, as a coach Tony Dungy never yelled and was successful.

Lawrence went to his coaches and spoke up for his guy and let them know they needed to put him back in. He's shown he'll stick up for his guys. There are plenty of guys who have fire, just because they aren't animated doesn't mean they don't care or have fire meanwhile plenty of guys yell, scream, are animated and are poor leaders.

Wow dude, you're really trying to say that; because his stats are similar to Manning and Elway in their first few years, he's really a generational QB we're just looking at it wrong. By that metric, almost every QB has been a generational QB, we were just looking at them wrong. I also think that you're using generational wrong, but that's more semantics. As far as Lawrence goes. He's in the top half of QBs, but I still think the Jags made a mistake drafting him. IMHO, they should have traded that pick and gotten more strength in other positions. They still had the QB that took them to a superbowl on the roster at this time. They weren't losing games because of QB play. I guess GMs know more than average fans, though.

[@JustAnFootballGuy]

Well thats why I used Generational moments. The key for the whole video which some have gotten confused by is comparing Generational Prospects. The term Generational is thrown around way too much. Every other year there is a Generational prospect. But to me, Generational means to be a almost perfect prospect, that has a very low chance of failing, the kind of prospect you only see once a decade. I guess I disagree with Lawrence being a mistake. It's the best move the Jags could have made.

[@foddersfollies7494]

@JustAnFootballGuy we can agree to disagree on whether or not the Jags made the right decision. I think Gardner could have put the Jags as a perennial playoff contender had they invested into using the draft to get WRs and lineman. The same basic issues you're saying are holding TL back. As far as your generational moments, it looked like you were using comeback victories as your metric. TL has what 6 comeback wins in his first 3 seasons. Jay Cutler had more than double that number. I don't really think that you consider Cutler a generational QB. But again, I may be wrong about my interpretation of your arguments, but imho, TL can't really hold the bootstraps of Manning or Elway. He was statistically worse than those guys in College, he was just lucky enough to be one of the juggernaut teams during his college career. I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure that Lawrence played with more NFL talent in college than Manning and Elway combined.

[@jamesmarshall6619]

@@foddersfollies7494 Statistically he was worse than Manning and Elway in college? That's ridiculous considering Lawrence completion percentage is greater, had a better touchdown to interception ratio, just about every single passing metric he's superior to Elway and Manning and he even threw more touchdowns than both despite the fact he played three years compared to Elway and Manning who both played four years. Now, times are different so passing statistics have to be taken within the context of the times but your comment of him being statistically worse is just flat out wrong. Also, Manning had some great talent around him at Tennessee, he wasn't throwing to bums, they even won the National Championship the year after Manning left, Manning's senior year they played Nebraska as Nebraska was going for a national championship. The year Manning got drafted Tennessee had 3 players drafted in the first round. From 1997-1999 Tennessee had 2 receivers drafted in the second round and another drafted in the first round so he was throwing to talented guys as well. Elway on the other hand, he did not have near the talent of Manning or Lawrence in college, that is true.

To be honest a franchise qb that puts up good numbers and can win you a few games you shouldn’t win here and there is about all you can ask from a top draft pick. I think everybody expects new guys to come in and light up the NFL like Mahomes, Lamar, or Allen, but that’s just unrealistic. By all metrics of first round qbs he has been a success, he’s just not gonna carry the whole team and will need better talent around him. I also don’t know how much I trust Doug Peterson. If you look at his couching record it’s not amazing. The only outlier is really that Philadelphia Super Bowl. Not saying he’s not a good coach, but I don’t think he’s as proven as people believe and I could see him getting the boot if Jacksonville doesn’t make the playoffs this season or next.

We have a very different recollection of Elway. Terrell Davis was good enough that his 4 great years got both TD and Elway into the HoF. Elway benefitted from having a soft division for nearly his entire career, and yet Elway only won the division 3 times in the 90s. His performance in the 80s was better, but the division was even worse then, save for the Raiders during his first two years. Elway was great in playoffs as long as he was playing against the Browns. -- Talking about Luck as "starting the fire only to put it out" sounds exactly like Trevor's playoff game against the Chargers.

Leading the league in turnovers has held him back from being elite and being out of the Elway, Manning, Luck convo. He seriously needs to clean that up in year 4, because it has cost the team multiple games.

Hmmm does that include fumbles? Because I went checked interceptions and he was ranked 6th with 14 interceptions. Mahomes, Allen, Tua, Hurts and Howell had more interceptions than Lawrence. I guess I would disagree then

[@benhoene6404]

Yes. Fumbles are included. Since joining the league in ‘21, he currently has the most lost fumbles with 14. A lot of those are in the red zone as well, which makes it extra frustrating. Because he can definitely move the ball down the field, but it’s hard for him to finish for some reason. If he can reduce his turnovers significantly, he will be a force to be reckoned with.

Trevor has been frustrating. Some his fault, a lot not. His rookie year the organization was a shit show. He was phenomenal the second half of his second year. He’s had many moments where, just watching his throws, he’s been as good as anyone not named Mahomes. He regularly drops it in buckets as good as anyone I’ve seen. He’s had so many throws into ridiculously tiny windows where I instantly think, “well, that’s an int “ then it’s actually a catch, you see it from another angle and have no idea how the eff he got it in there. Then, other times, he just plays small. Part of it is Pederson’s maddening insistence on letting Press Taylor call plays. He’s terrible. Him and Ridley never seemed to get on the same page. I thought that was going to be huge. I think if he didn’t get hurt halfway through last year, we are having a different conversation. But, while the jags had a great record to that point, Trevor had been pretty mediocre outside of some the aforementioned flashes of “holy shite!”
