I'm just not sold on Lawrence being this super prospect. Yeah, he checks all the boxes but the vast majority of the time he's ever taken a field his team was head and shoulders better than the competition.

GTFOH...Lawrence is the top QB in this draft and it is not even close.  Stop drinking the Kool aid on these other guys.

Both options give me sticker shock.

Likewise, but hypotheticals are entertaining. Especially when it at least puts a new spin on the same topics we’ve been discussing for the last several weeks.

I really think the idea of having an franchise quarterback from South Carolina has consumed Tepper to the point where he'll give up just about anything to land Watson or Lawrence.

Neither one of them are from SC

Andrew Luck was pretty great I just don’t think he ever really loved Football. As with every QB a lot depends on what’s around him. 

He had 83 INTs and 44 fumbles in 86 games. Everyone always just looked the other way on his turnover issues.

True, though it's fair to say that both became famous in South Carolina.

You're not listening. I'm not arguing he's not. But the biggest reason is his floor. It's hard to imagine him being an outright bust. Lawrence is the far safer prospect, but don't be shocked if Wilson doesn't end up being the better player... but he's also a lot more likely to be a flat out bust than Lawrence is.

It's hilarious how emotional y'all get over this stuff.

So make a call...get off the fence.  You are calling that Zach Wilson is better than Trevor Lawrence?  Right?  If not stop trying to look clever.  Lawrence is better period.

I'm very high on him as a prospect but I've said over and over that Lawrence has the higher floor.

My thing with Lawrence is I've heard the hype on him for years, but every time I've watched him play I just haven't been moved to the level I thought I'd be.

Man, if anything, I'd rather go after a Minshew or Trubisky and trade **down** to get more picks. I want a team - not just a QB.

I'm concerned I'm going to be disappointed this off-season one way or another with all this aggressive speculation.

Oh well, it's fun drama.

Pretty much. Don't get me wrong, he's VERY good. I just don't see any transcendent talent there. He checks every box but he doesn't wow in any particular area and in the games where his team wasn't head and shoulders better than the competition his team is 1-2.

Still on the fence.  Thought so.

Usually going to the #1 overall would mean the team is such poo that it makes a lot more sense but in this case Meyer isn't going to have a poo offense and the Jags aren't a dumpster fire organization as this is even their first #1 overall pick ever as well.

They have a pretty good FO and Meyer runs offense well so I can't imagine him sucking honestly.

It's not hard to understand what he's saying at all. No he isn't saying Zach Wilson is better than Trevor Lawrence.
