So you advocate the Colts go 3-14 and draft another Andrew Luck or maybe the next Bryce Young? Then maybe within a couple years they could build things back to mediocrity... Bad take.
Hey Colt fans.I am a Jaguar fan who clicked on this link because I wanted to hear what other division teams were saying about the Lawrence signing. Definitely a different perspective.😂 So, first off, the cap hit for this year is 11 million dollars, next year it is 25 million and the extension doesn't kick in until 2026. So whatever financial ramifications come from this contract it won't be for the next two seasons. As we all know the salary cap continues to go up and up so in a couple of years 55 million won't seem as big of a hit. Also, the way the quarterback market is if you don't pay them now you pay more later. So many people feel that paying Trevor now actually saves in the future. So financially it was actually a good move for the Jags. As for the narrative that Trevor Lawrence is a mediocre quarterback I don't understand that. The first year with Urban Meyer was a complete and utter disaster and Trevor as a rookie was literally leading the team because he didn't have a coach to do it for him. Since Doug Peterson has taken over there is no doubt Trevor has improved. The first year we made the playoffs and the second year we were 8 and 3 playing for the number one seed in the AFC. Then Trevor got hurt, along with some of our other key players, and the season spiraled out of control. There is no doubt that the injuries played a huge role in Trevor Lawrence's performance down the stretch. In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have played. But you want your quarterback to be tough and for whatever reason they felt he was healthy enough to go out and play. And they didn't have a whole lot of faith in the backup quarterback CJ Beathard. From the middle of the 2022 season to the point where Trevor got hurt last season the Jaguars were 13 and 4. Number 16 is a big reason for that record. I get it the jaguars are probably the least popular team in the league and most aren't following them on a regular basis so they are relying on these national pundits to provide them with their information. I am here to tell you they are wrong. Trevor Lawrence is not a mediocre quarterback and it is absolutely a good thing for them to sign him to this extension. No one in Jacksonville is upset that we extended Trevor Lawrence. The guy is only 24 years old and people are acting like his career is over or that he doesn't have any more room to grow. I don't get it. Before his injury he was playing at a high level. We were the number one team in the AFC. He has a head coach who is known for his ability to develop quarterbacks. And Trevor still has all the tools that made him the number one draft pick. Dude is not a mediocre quarterback. Never has been, never will be. I get why a Colts fan would want to believe that but it's not true. Don't believe what the national media is spoon feeding you. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. Number one is turnovers. That is a major issue. Since he joined the league Trevor has committed 60 turnovers😮 That's not something that can continue to happen. But it's more fumbles than interceptions. And a lot of those fumbles occur when he's trying to do too much. He needs to learn how to slide and take what the defense gives him. The other thing I would say is he needs to play with more consistency. He can make some absolutely beautiful throws and then miss an easy out pattern. He's tall and lanky so he really has to focus on mechanics and footwork. But as I said he's gotten better every year and I don't expect anything different moving forward. I don't know if any of you Colt fans have actually made it to the end of this long post but if you did I hope that I was able to give you another perspective. If you're like me you're probably waiting for the season to get here so you can see what happens with your team. I do think the Colts are going to be a good team. A lot will depend on the development of AR but pieces are in place. Should be fun.
So he is turnover prone and has bad mechanics due to his height. Andrew Luck and his big brain refused to slide. Perhaps he will improve his decision making. Harbaugh did with Lindy Infante. Lawrence is better than Levis and AR at this point due to his experience. Hopefully Stroud regresses a little bit.
A long time Colt fan who realizes that Trevor is a VERY GOOD QB and people are just jealous. Good that his family will be well taken care of and I’m sure that his possession shortfalls will decrease. A formidable opponent with a great head coach which EVERY team not only in this division will have to prepare diligently for!! GO HORSESHOES!!! 👍👏😎🇺🇸
Great head coach? Lawrence just squeezes into the top 15. And no one blames Lawrence for signing the deal - I would too! Good for him. OK starter making crazy money. It happens.
To answer one of your points - and I appreciate you taking the time to share them all - no fan is ever upset with an extension until looking back shows the foolishness of it. Jags fans may never see it through the correct prism. They may blame Baalke for building a flawed roster, but the holes will exist because Lawrence eats cap. And just to clean up the extension numbers, Lawrence is $15M this season and $17M next season. Then its $24, $35, and $47 this next three. There are balloon seasons at the tail for better than $70M, but those will be negotiated into another extension if Lawrence is still wanted. The real debit for the Jags in this deal is they have no ability to pivot out of Lawrence for a significant period, and they might get tired of finishing third in the South.
Trevor combined with Doug Peterson on the road, is the only combination that I dread of all our games. History bears this out soooo….surprise us Steichen and get our boys over this hurdle!!! 🙏🙏👏😎🇺🇸
At least , Trevor Lawrence is available. I'd rather have him than AR. I like Kent's channel because of the optimism because I Iack it. AR will be on IR by October. As good as the 2024 draft seems to be, Ballard should have drafted a QB. Flacco will be the qb for most of the year.
Hope you are wrong about Richardson, and I agree Ballard should have drafted a QB. I advocated drafting Nix, but the Broncos grabbed him at 15. Ballard could have taken Rattler. Stacking QBs is smart - especially with a QB like Richardson.
Its entirely possible the Colts, Texans, and/or Titans find themselves in the same situation as the Jags this year. An NFL team can't win without a QB, so guys who maybe could be a top guy get overvalued.
Caitlin should study Luka in off season. As slow as he is he has no problem getting by quicker defenders. She doesn’t often get by 1st line of defense, that and develop a midrange game she will dominate.
He seems to be getting better year by year, and is better than every Colts QB since Luck to be honest. The market makes teams over pay for QBs. He can actually stay healthy too. Wish the Colts could've gotten him. Richardson hasn't played an entire season in college or pro yet. Hasn't proven anything but a consistency to be hurt. Anyone can throw in practice. Hope he turns around though.
Trevor couldn’t win a single game the final 5 games of the season all must win games and lost to the practice squad titans with division on the line why would you pay a 20-30 qb record with a horrible career 85 qb rating instead of waiting another year?
I'm with you 100% on Clark and Haliburton. The time off is going to be great for Clark long-term. No need for her to be on the Olympic team. I'm terrified of Haliburton playing in the Olympics. After a 100 game season with a lingering hamstring issue and back issues, he needs the time to rest and rehab. If he doesn't get hurt during the Olympics, I'm thinking next season will be riddled with injuries for him. With the NFL, your best chance to win is with a QB on his rookie deal. After that, unless they're a top 5 QB, you're almost better off starting over trying to hit on another rookie QB.
If he’s so mediocre, then why couldn’t they let him walk? You’re disproving your point by saying they couldn’t let him walk. Trevor has owned the colts, and will continue to own the colts.
Because the next step would be to draft a mediocre quarterback in the middle of the first round. The Jags are never going to be bad enough to get the next great quarterback, but Lawrence will never be good enough to win a championship - especially with the Jags carrying his cap number. Trent Baalke was between a rock and a hard place, so he's hoping for a good year before the cap comes home to roost!
1st off, anybody can take the overall amount, divide it by 5 and say 55mil each year, but you don’t actually know if that’s how it’s structured, second before Trevor got injured last year, he was top 10 in every QB category. 3rd, there’s a clip out there on X, of 15 dropped td passes, that could’ve been the difference between losing the division and winning it. It’s not all on Trevor
He won't own the colts when they have to get rid of the whole team around him because of his contract. He's kirk cousins caliber. I wouldn't say he's mediocre, he's good, but he's not such a good qb that can put a team on his back.
Aww yea it doesn't work out jags are done for next 6-8 years. He won one playoff game , they didn't win that game the Chargers just blew it. I think it's going to end up being a bad deal for jags, great deal for colts. 55M a year?!?!? They don't perform this is going to be Doug Pedersons nail in the coffin.
You havent been watching the fever but the 1st half last night was their best of the season as a team., 2nd half not so much but luckily had enough of a lead to carry them thru. More of a team effort than Clark carrying the team instead it was reversed in this game. Boston had been working on her inside game and this time paid off with 27 pts, looked more like her ROTY last season.
Not sure I have missed a Fever game this season. Fever benefitted last night from the Dream playing a miserable and effortless first half. Their defensive rebounding was pitiful, and Boston was active enough to do good work on the offensive glass. Clark's seven TOs were indicative of her need to adapt to the quickness of WNBA players. She needs to stop carping about officiating and take care of the ball.
Depends on the situation. When Burrow signed, I thought "That's a good deal!" When Watson signed the extension with the Browns, I thought, "That is idiotic!" When Jackson signed his extension, I thought, "Ravens did what they had to do." Lawrence being offered mega bucks to go 9-8 is idiotic.
@@KentSterling The whole world complained when Luck got 25 million. Yes hindsight is 20/20 but that was a steal. The people complaining were factoring an injury though. Many people complain about every signing, like the money is theirs.
No it doesn’t the cap space will continue to go up that’s where the QB market is he’s the fifth player to reach 11,000 yards in his first three seasons he’s only four yards behind burrow and didn’t he sweep the colts last year
The cap space goes up for everyone - which benefits all 32 teams, including those with QBs on a rookie deal. There is a penalty for paying a mediocre QB $55M regardless of the cap number.
@@KentSterling clearly you haven’t watched Trevor play he’s not a bad QB he needs a true number one receiver and a offensive line to protect him any QB would struggle with a bad offensive line do you remember the Bucs ba chiefs Super Bowl mahomes struggled because his line was bad and his receivers were dropping passes every year Trevor has been in the league his receivers lead the league in drops
@RCA_Dome You have to be a Jags fan. Lawrence is fringe top 10 to mid in almost every meaningful qb stat. Stroud outplayed him as a rookie. Lawrence can't make off schedule plays, and he falls apart if he holds the ball longer than 2.5 seconds. He ain't it. Stroud is the one Colts fans should worry about.
Lol 😂 tell that to patrick, tell that to burrow, and hebrert there way more competitive than the colts and jags and they paid more for there guy so I think the jags will be chilling just like when the colts pay the same if not more for Anthony Richardson
Herbert's Chargers were 5-12 last year. Burrow's Bengals finished last (9-8) in the AFC North - same as the Colts. Lawrence is an OK QB paid elite cash. In no business is that a wise construct!
Lawrence is not that bad, he’s been ‘forced’ into bad by the team he plays for. Caitlin Clark, or CC as you may prefer, could very well be in the same situation. Sides is not the coach that will make this work.
Lawrence…is mediocre….is what it is. They cant let him walk and his agent got paid……Trevor, is Trevor..275M Trevor or 50 M Trevor. Doesnt matter….he wont be winning anything regardless.
He's not bad, but if you rank AFC quarterbacks, he is #6 at best. If you pay #6 top level money, you are doomed to mediocrity. As you are well aware, I NEVER prefer initials! Well played.
@@KentSterling I think Steichen gives the colts hope….AR and the rest of the players , well…some give hope….AD, AR, Josh Downs, Pitt…JT….yah……..the rest, yawn……so it’s all hope at this point. Can these players stay healthy…….I. Think if they can we have a chance…but ultimately the colts have shown over the last 8 years that they arent men. Professionals that really have pride enough to carry the day when it matters most….they just havent,……..and as such, I dont really believe in this team…..these players are hold overs mostly…..from Reich era…..(quitters)……cowards….soft………you mean to tell me a few new coaches changes that? I am sorry it doesnt……once a quitter always a quitter….if a coach like Reich can ‘coax”” the quitter out of you as a player, then there wasnt much heart there to begin with…just turn on the tape of the giants game where our offensive lineman just stood there over a partially paralyzed Nick Foles while dude celebrating on the ground doing snow angels……and you’ll see what the colts are…..until they prove otherwise, that is who they are….to me.
Good morning. I disagree with getting selected for the Olympics. It seems like players improve overall and played a much higher level post Olympics experience.
Not sure an example of that. What I see in international play is an elevation in brand value and understand of how to monetize it. That information tends to corrupt the competitiv e mentality of players. I would prefer Haliburton remain a player - rather than a brand.
@@KentSterling I agree about the brand of USA basketball and its sponsors being appeased for sales and marketing. However, Haliburton is getting a chance to play the PG with a roster that oozes a level of talent he will not experience, even on a All Star team. He should be in peak physical form once the season rolls around and maybe this will aid him in taking the next step to superstardom.
You are correct. Clark would be better off not going to the Olympics, as would Halliburton. Proof of how bad the US Olympic Committee and whoever else handles it have done. It’s just not that special anymore. Not for the intended purpose anyway.
@@KentSterling a good thing when that was about excellence of a given event. Megan Rapino and now damn near all the members of that team, Tommie Smith, Gwen Berry, and a whole bunch more ungrateful shitbags shouldent ge given the opportunity.
Sorry to tell you but there are at least 8 qbs in the AFC alone that are better than Lawrence……1. Mahomes. 2. Burrow 3. Allen 4. Jackson 5. Rogers 6. Stroud 7. Herbert 8. Wilson so to give that clown all that money is laughable….but thats the jags…..sure they have beaten us a lot lately. But who cares we suck…….That franchise is going nowhere fast. 275M for the 8th best QB in his own conference….good for Trevor…….lmfao…Trevor will be Trevor….20-30…..whether he makes 50M a year or 20M a year….so thats the jags problem
Definitely disagree with your list of quarterbacks better than Trevor. Top four are definitely solid. I'm not as big a fan of Lamar Jackson as some people but he is a hell of a regular season quarterback. I don't believe he should have won MVP last year either. That should have been Christian McCaffrey. But the MVP has become a quarterback award. Based on career accomplishments Rogers is ahead of Trevor as well. But Trevor Lawrence is only 24 years old with a lot of room to improve and Aaron Rodgers is a 40 year old coming off an Achilles injury who hasn't played good football in over 2 years. As for CJ Stroud he's only done it one year. The expectations for that team were very low and they absolutely exceeded them. Props for that. But you know as well as I do that if your team hadn't choked at the worst possible time and put Jonathan Taylor on the bench for the most important play of your season the Texans might not have even made the playoffs. Let's see how the Texans do when the expectations have changed. Before we start making CJ Stroud an elite quarterback let's see him do it for more than one year. Still the second best QB in the AFC South. Most if not all GM`s would take Trevor Lawrence over CJ Stroud. And Herbert couldn't beat Lawrence with a 27 point lead when they went head to head. Sure, Trevor played terrible the first half but the way he was able to stay focused and lead the team back for the win shows why he's ahead of Herbert. Everybody falls in love with Justin Herbert canon arm and gaudy statistics but what has he done. I do like the Jim Harbaugh signing and he is young so I wouldn't write him off yet. So I guess I would put Trevor Lawrence as the number four quarterback on your list I would take both Lawrence and Herbert over Lamar personally. I think they're better quarterbacks. I would take Lamar over Stroud though. Stroud has been getting way too much hype
@@Maugisfusion to say rogers at 40 cant play better than Lawrence is stupid. No evidence to suggest that….at all. The last year he played was better than Lawrence best year…..as far as Wilson go look at HIS last year…..better than Lawrence…he is still young is a Super Bowl winner (Lawrence isnt)…..Stroud is just better. Period……and Herbert is too. Regardless what the team has done against the jags……………..just look at the numbers. Nothing on this list is wrong. At all….because it’s supported by fact. Lawrences numbers are less than these guys. Period…….if we want to talk about POTENTIAL…….and skill? And talent? Well good luck with that…..if we talk about that I have evidence to suggest AR is better RIGHT now….than Lawrence……hes bigger, faster, throws it further, harder, had a 3 to 1 TD to INT ratio…….had 7 TDS in 3.6 games played…projected out thats a better year than Lawrence has EVER had….period…….not to mention this is yeard 4 for Trevor….and he REGRESSED…………..didnt continue to get better……..he is young….yes…but so is AR…..
The middle is absolutely terrible…..totally agree….that is exactly why I liked the AR selection…….the ceiling is huge and the floor is very low also….LOL….wont take long to figure out which is which and we can win a Super Bowl or move on….HAHAHAHAHHA……….medicority looks exactly like what the colts look like…..over last 8 years….are we good are we not? Super Bowl aspirations with matt Ryan? Uh. 4-12-1….hahahahahahahahahah………the middle is terrible. You need to put it all on the line and either win it all or suck. As quickly as you can……BECAUSE losing also gets you great pics to build off of…QUARTERBACKS….and hitting ceilings you win super bowls…..so you should go all in or all out as much and as fast as possible.
Trevor Lawrence>>>Anthony Richardson. Of course, that wouldn't be too hard considering Richardson's problems staying healthy. Dude was already raw when he came into the league and he missed his whole first season. Poor accuracy and decision making.. But I can't call him a bust yet. Got to stay on the field long enough to make that determination and given his playing style that could be a problem. Every GM including yours would take Trevor Lawrence over Anthony Richardson.
@@Maugisfusion no they wouldn’t. And that was the stupidest thing anyone has ever uttered. LMFAO……who the fuck cares about Trevor Lawrence. Dude. I never even think about the guy. The jags dont impress me. Lawrence is nothing. They beat us a few times. Great. They havent won shit and Lawrence like I said is the 8th best Qb in the AFC…..as soon as AR reaches his potential, I will be back here laughing at you……projected out AR’s first year was better than Trevors…BY FAR….Lawrence cant run either. ….AR can………CURRENTLY, as a player, Trevor just got paid….but he is 20-30 as a QB……so that means nothing…..zero………hes not a winning qb. No idea why you are even on this site. We honestly dont even think about Lawrence…..he doesnt keep us up at night…..but AR and his ceiling must already be giving you nightmares otherwise you wouldn’t be here……poor. Guy.
Someday a team will figure out that rotating young QBs and building killer rosters around them rather than second contracting mid-level QBs to the moon is the way to go...
8-9/9-8 is the perpetual mediocrity that can stagnate a franchise for years
So you advocate the Colts go 3-14 and draft another Andrew Luck or maybe the next Bryce Young? Then maybe within a couple years they could build things back to mediocrity...
Bad take.
It's really hard to get good from bad or mediocre.

the jags have the worse GM in the NFL so it makes sense
Scott Fitterer on line one.... Whoops, now there's George Paton on line two...
Man I love to see the jags fail.
Ever time a team signs a QB the talking heads and other team's fanbase proclaim what a dumb deal it was. Was, rinse and repeat. zzzzzzzzzzzz
Depends on the situation.
When Burrow signed, I thought "That's a good deal!" When Watson signed the extension with the Browns, I thought, "That is idiotic!" When Jackson signed his extension, I thought, "Ravens did what they had to do." Lawrence being offered mega bucks to go 9-8 is idiotic.
@@KentSterling The whole world complained when Luck got 25 million. Yes hindsight is 20/20 but that was a steal. The people complaining were factoring an injury though.
Many people complain about every signing, like the money is theirs.
No it doesn’t the cap space will continue to go up that’s where the QB market is he’s the fifth player to reach 11,000 yards in his first three seasons he’s only four yards behind burrow and didn’t he sweep the colts last year
The cap space goes up for everyone - which benefits all 32 teams, including those with QBs on a rookie deal. There is a penalty for paying a mediocre QB $55M regardless of the cap number.
@@KentSterling clearly you haven’t watched Trevor play he’s not a bad QB he needs a true number one receiver and a offensive line to protect him any QB would struggle with a bad offensive line do you remember the Bucs ba chiefs Super Bowl mahomes struggled because his line was bad and his receivers were dropping passes every year Trevor has been in the league his receivers lead the league in drops

As a Colts fan the QB I fear the most is Lawrence. Very far from mediocre QB
@RCA_Dome You have to be a Jags fan. Lawrence is fringe top 10 to mid in almost every meaningful qb stat. Stroud outplayed him as a rookie. Lawrence can't make off schedule plays, and he falls apart if he holds the ball longer than 2.5 seconds. He ain't it. Stroud is the one Colts fans should worry about.
@@dernify yet he destroys Colts everytime he plays them
Lol 😂 tell that to patrick, tell that to burrow, and hebrert there way more competitive than the colts and jags and they paid more for there guy so I think the jags will be chilling just like when the colts pay the same if not more for Anthony Richardson
Herbert's Chargers were 5-12 last year. Burrow's Bengals finished last (9-8) in the AFC North - same as the Colts. Lawrence is an OK QB paid elite cash. In no business is that a wise construct!
Lawrence is not that bad, he’s been ‘forced’ into bad by the team he plays for. Caitlin Clark, or CC as you may prefer, could very well be in the same situation. Sides is not the coach that will make this work.
Jaguars are a 10 win roster at worst and Lawrence can’t even win 10 gajesb
@@123shoshanColts will win Super Bowl
Lawrence…is mediocre….is what it is. They cant let him walk and his agent got paid……Trevor, is Trevor..275M Trevor or 50 M Trevor. Doesnt matter….he wont be winning anything regardless.
He's not bad, but if you rank AFC quarterbacks, he is #6 at best. If you pay #6 top level money, you are doomed to mediocrity.
As you are well aware, I NEVER prefer initials! Well played.
@@KentSterling burrow Allen Herbert mahomes stroud Lamar are all better than Lawrence he’s not even 7th best in the afc
Get your betting brooms out
W😂❤😅
Thinking about betting 50$ on the colts winning the AFC south and another 20 for the Super Bowl
LMFAO…70can be better spent elsewhere nacho boy
+330 is not a bad number to win the South. Because of relative inactivity this offseason, a lot of investors are sleeping on the Colts.
@@KentSterling I think Steichen gives the colts hope….AR and the rest of the players , well…some give hope….AD, AR, Josh Downs, Pitt…JT….yah……..the rest, yawn……so it’s all hope at this point. Can these players stay healthy…….I. Think if they can we have a chance…but ultimately the colts have shown over the last 8 years that they arent men. Professionals that really have pride enough to carry the day when it matters most….they just havent,……..and as such, I dont really believe in this team…..these players are hold overs mostly…..from Reich era…..(quitters)……cowards….soft………you mean to tell me a few new coaches changes that? I am sorry it doesnt……once a quitter always a quitter….if a coach like Reich can ‘coax”” the quitter out of you as a player, then there wasnt much heart there to begin with…just turn on the tape of the giants game where our offensive lineman just stood there over a partially paralyzed Nick Foles while dude celebrating on the ground doing snow angels……and you’ll see what the colts are…..until they prove otherwise, that is who they are….to me.
Don't waste your money.
@@Maugisfusion exactly….70can be better spent ….
Good morning. I disagree with getting selected for the Olympics. It seems like players improve overall and played a much higher level post Olympics experience.
Not sure an example of that. What I see in international play is an elevation in brand value and understand of how to monetize it. That information tends to corrupt the competitiv e mentality of players. I would prefer Haliburton remain a player - rather than a brand.
@@KentSterling I agree about the brand of USA basketball and its sponsors being appeased for sales and marketing. However, Haliburton is getting a chance to play the PG with a roster that oozes a level of talent he will not experience, even on a All Star team. He should be in peak physical form once the season rolls around and maybe this will aid him in taking the next step to superstardom.
You are correct. Clark would be better off not going to the Olympics, as would Halliburton. Proof of how bad the US Olympic Committee and whoever else handles it have done.
It’s just not that special anymore. Not for the intended purpose anyway.
It is a branding opportunity with a little basketball thrown in.
@@KentSterling a good thing when that was about excellence of a given event.
Megan Rapino and now damn near all the members of that team, Tommie Smith, Gwen Berry, and a whole bunch more ungrateful shitbags shouldent ge given the opportunity.
Sorry to tell you but there are at least 8 qbs in the AFC alone that are better than Lawrence……1. Mahomes. 2. Burrow 3. Allen 4. Jackson 5. Rogers 6. Stroud 7. Herbert 8. Wilson so to give that clown all that money is laughable….but thats the jags…..sure they have beaten us a lot lately. But who cares we suck…….That franchise is going nowhere fast. 275M for the 8th best QB in his own conference….good for Trevor…….lmfao…Trevor will be Trevor….20-30…..whether he makes 50M a year or 20M a year….so thats the jags problem
Definitely disagree with your list of quarterbacks better than Trevor. Top four are definitely solid. I'm not as big a fan of Lamar Jackson as some people but he is a hell of a regular season quarterback. I don't believe he should have won MVP last year either. That should have been Christian McCaffrey. But the MVP has become a quarterback award. Based on career accomplishments Rogers is ahead of Trevor as well. But Trevor Lawrence is only 24 years old with a lot of room to improve and Aaron Rodgers is a 40 year old coming off an Achilles injury who hasn't played good football in over 2 years. As for CJ Stroud he's only done it one year. The expectations for that team were very low and they absolutely exceeded them. Props for that. But you know as well as I do that if your team hadn't choked at the worst possible time and put Jonathan Taylor on the bench for the most important play of your season the Texans might not have even made the playoffs. Let's see how the Texans do when the expectations have changed. Before we start making CJ Stroud an elite quarterback let's see him do it for more than one year. Still the second best QB in the AFC South. Most if not all GM`s would take Trevor Lawrence over CJ Stroud. And Herbert couldn't beat Lawrence with a 27 point lead when they went head to head. Sure, Trevor played terrible the first half but the way he was able to stay focused and lead the team back for the win shows why he's ahead of Herbert. Everybody falls in love with Justin Herbert canon arm and gaudy statistics but what has he done. I do like the Jim Harbaugh signing and he is young so I wouldn't write him off yet. So I guess I would put Trevor Lawrence as the number four quarterback on your list I would take both Lawrence and Herbert over Lamar personally. I think they're better quarterbacks. I would take Lamar over Stroud though. Stroud has been getting way too much hype
@@Maugisfusion to say rogers at 40 cant play better than Lawrence is stupid. No evidence to suggest that….at all. The last year he played was better than Lawrence best year…..as far as Wilson go look at HIS last year…..better than Lawrence…he is still young is a Super Bowl winner (Lawrence isnt)…..Stroud is just better. Period……and Herbert is too. Regardless what the team has done against the jags……………..just look at the numbers. Nothing on this list is wrong. At all….because it’s supported by fact. Lawrences numbers are less than these guys. Period…….if we want to talk about POTENTIAL…….and skill? And talent? Well good luck with that…..if we talk about that I have evidence to suggest AR is better RIGHT now….than Lawrence……hes bigger, faster, throws it further, harder, had a 3 to 1 TD to INT ratio…….had 7 TDS in 3.6 games played…projected out thats a better year than Lawrence has EVER had….period…….not to mention this is yeard 4 for Trevor….and he REGRESSED…………..didnt continue to get better……..he is young….yes…but so is AR…..
@@Maugisfusion hell even Kirk Cousins is better than Lawrence….
@@Maugisfusion so is Jared Goff. Jalen Hurts…..and I think Jordan Love is better also..
The middle is absolutely terrible…..totally agree….that is exactly why I liked the AR selection…….the ceiling is huge and the floor is very low also….LOL….wont take long to figure out which is which and we can win a Super Bowl or move on….HAHAHAHAHHA……….medicority looks exactly like what the colts look like…..over last 8 years….are we good are we not? Super Bowl aspirations with matt Ryan? Uh. 4-12-1….hahahahahahahahahah………the middle is terrible. You need to put it all on the line and either win it all or suck. As quickly as you can……BECAUSE losing also gets you great pics to build off of…QUARTERBACKS….and hitting ceilings you win super bowls…..so you should go all in or all out as much and as fast as possible.
20-30….LMFAO….1 pro bowl not even deserved……LOL…..dude blows.
Trevor Lawrence>>>Anthony Richardson. Of course, that wouldn't be too hard considering Richardson's problems staying healthy. Dude was already raw when he came into the league and he missed his whole first season. Poor accuracy and decision making.. But I can't call him a bust yet. Got to stay on the field long enough to make that determination and given his playing style that could be a problem. Every GM including yours would take Trevor Lawrence over Anthony Richardson.
@@Maugisfusion no they wouldn’t. And that was the stupidest thing anyone has ever uttered. LMFAO……who the fuck cares about Trevor Lawrence. Dude. I never even think about the guy. The jags dont impress me. Lawrence is nothing. They beat us a few times. Great. They havent won shit and Lawrence like I said is the 8th best Qb in the AFC…..as soon as AR reaches his potential, I will be back here laughing at you……projected out AR’s first year was better than Trevors…BY FAR….Lawrence cant run either. ….AR can………CURRENTLY, as a player, Trevor just got paid….but he is 20-30 as a QB……so that means nothing…..zero………hes not a winning qb. No idea why you are even on this site. We honestly dont even think about Lawrence…..he doesnt keep us up at night…..but AR and his ceiling must already be giving you nightmares otherwise you wouldn’t be here……poor. Guy.
I fell off my chair when I saw that contract. I don’t think Trevor will win another AFC south title. THEY HAVE NO MONEY
Kent you would have signed that same deal Trevor signed .
Someday a team will figure out that rotating young QBs and building killer rosters around them rather than second contracting mid-level QBs to the moon is the way to go...
Cosign!
