CWood21 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 A PROVEN young franchise QB. So you're talking about someone like Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, etc. There's probably only a few teams that would even manage to get a discussion in.

The Jags would make that swap every time. Hasn't Watson already been in the league 4 years? He's great, but he is also older, and Lawrence doesn't have the miles on the clock. I don't think I'd trade Lawrence for him. Watson is a proven commodity, but I think I'd roll the dice with Lawrence. I like his chances a lot.

biggie. Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Also, if Lawrence busts it is what it is. No one is going to fault Jacksonville for taking him and refusing to trade the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Vladimir L said: Id take Watson over Lawrencr all day. Who has to give up the pick is the thing though Lawrence is on a rookie contract for the next 5 years and Houston is paying Watson $35-$40M a year. I'm definitely taking Lawrence/the risk that entails. Only guy I'd move him for is Mahomes because it's Mahomes. Wouldn't entertain it for anyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't gonna spurn the Jets (like he said on The Dan Patrick Show a couple weeks ago when everyone thought it was a lock), then he definitely wouldn't spurn the Jaguars.

If this wasn't Trevor Lawrence who's been as hyped as he has since he was in HS/viewed as a generational QB I'd deal the 1st overall pick in an instant.

Because then you’ll be paying him 40+Mill as well. You take the proven commodity...especially one that is a proven superstar every time. I mean i like Trevor, but some of you are acting like he’s instantly 1B to Mahomes. Saying you’d take him over Deshaun Watson right now is absolutely absurd. Think about what he would have to do in the next 5 years to be better than Watson. Ridiculously high expectations. He isn’t going to step on the field and be Mahomes that is incredibly rare. It’s more likely he becomes Sam Darnold than Patrick Mahomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospects like Trevor Lawrence don't come around all that often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
