Check this former scout calling him a bust back in 2021 :hubie: :lolbron:




Final Evaluation​

Pos Rank: QB3

Projection: Top 10 Pick

Richardson is worthy of a top ten pick in this class. He has the talent to develop into a star but needs to improve his accuracy.

Fair take :ehh:

What do you even do with Lawrence at this point?

He’s not going to take this team to a SB clearly. I’m not even sure they can make the playoffs with him. Can’t trade him because his dead cap will blow up the team.

The only option is….

1. Look at replacing him with a cheaper alternative in the draft. But then you have a 50+ Mil QB on the bench.
2. Bring in a completely new staff to redeem him, but now he’s learning a new system and that probably will fail.

Jags are fukked, I saw this one coming, they should have let him walk TBH
4. Even though they won, Trevor Lawrence is about as mid as a QB can possibly get. He's not bad, he's not good....he's just mid. They are gonna have to extend him next year for like 50 mil, but honestly I dont think its worth it.

You can make the playoffs with Lawrence, bad teams and bad QBs get in every year.

Jags need to rethink the idea success is centered around him throwing the ball.
Focus on the defense, can't have games where you give up TDs every drive. Then put him in an easier offense where he's not the focus.

I don't expect a SB from that but it's the best they can do for now. If he completely crashes out, then the Jags should have the draft capital to try again & and better foundation for the next guy.

Bad QBs get in the playoffs but they are generally on cheap contracts that allows the team to stack talent in other positions to compensate for the bad QB play.

Having a bad QB on a monster contract is a different animal. It’s expected that those expensive QBs offset eating up cap space by carrying the team. When that expensive QB is hindering the team, how can the front office over come that?

It’s not easy.

He's is due to start making 55 million a year. You do the only thing you can do. Fire the coach and hire another dude who don't mind collecting a few million a year for 3 years until you fire him :pachaha:.
