I'd rather not have Lawrence in the division so this is great.

I tend to agree, but I'm not convinced Lawrence is such a slam dunk franchise QB, like most people seem to think. He's played on an insanely talented college team that completely outmatched their opponents in the vast majority of their games. Again, I'm not saying he won't succeed, but I'm just a little hesitant about a guy whose had a gold-plated road to success...He's going to find things are MUCH different in East Rutherford, or wherever the Jests call home these days.

Brees was probably just as bad going into that Rivers/ Manning draft, but didnt he have his "big" year in the season after Rivers was drafted.

 

Edit, no I am wrong he was much better than Darnold for sure.

I absolutely agree, I hate the slam dunk franchise QB talk. I think it happens more these days than ever because the media spotlight shines brighter on college stars. Lawrence is a media sensation and a great football player. I’m not sure if that guarantees him to be the next Elway though.

WTF was Nance talking about - fair catch and kick a FG - from your 20?

I guess Deshaun Watson is the counterpoint to that argument, but there is definitely a tendency for college QBs to be mis-evaluated based on the team around them.  Mahomes, Allen and Rodgers all played on pretty bad college teams...

Watching Jets now and root for their 1st victory.  Darnold is so much worse than Josh. Can’t prolong plays, too early and too often throws away. I can understand the frustration of Jets fans comparing him with Allen
