Trevor Lawrence is looking like a bad pick for the Jags

Sorry, just adding to the general pattern emerging on the forum. 

Lawrence has never had to face adversity in his entire career, with wins handed to him week after week on an elite program. Now he's with a dumpster fire of a franchise and doesn't know what to do. What use is a guy that's used to winning when he's on a perpetually losing team?

What's the point of drafting a QB at #1?  Prescott didn't go in the top 10.  Wilson didn't go in the top 10. Mahomes didn't go in the top 10.  Watson didn't go in the top 10. Rodgers didn't go in the top 10. Brady didn't go in the top 10. I think this proves that the Jags should have traded down and tried to get Fields or Jones in the teens.

Patrick Mahomes was the #10 pick.

I'm guessing you were expecting a 2-0 Jaguars team and Lawerence to have established himself as the GOAT eh? How about the Jaguars get a him a OL and if things continue to look bad a better HC and see what Lawerence is made of. He has shown flashes but I do agree it isn't all there quite yet, still expect to see some great games from him in the future.

I personally think this drafting a QB and be the franchise cornerstone is wrong or bad thinking.

What most top QBs and their situations have shown when they got drafted is, is that they had good situations. Owner, coaching, OL, weapons and defense.

I certainly don't hope Lawrence or Wilson are busts but would not be shocked if we see another Sam Darnold in them.

If they got serious players or draft picks in return, Fields at 9 or 10 would have been a great move imo.

What it proves, sir, is that you should always pick a QB at #10 overall if you want the next Mahomes.
