I said Daniel Jones and Wentz don't belong in "solid to elite" lolBronco Billy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 5:16 amYeah, some of us may have a bit of a different level of where we set the bar.
In Lawrence’s career against top 10 teams - that’s 7 games, 6 of them bowl games - where he and his team figure to be most evenly matched or even at a deficit, here’s what he has done:
170 of 266 passing 2181 yds 15 TDs 2 INTs
63.2% completions 312 ypg 8.20 ypa 7.5 TD/INT ratio
71 rushes 305 yds 5 TDs
10 att/gm 43.6 yds/gm
And let’s not forget that this is his career against top 10 teams and includes his numbers as a freshman against that level of competition. If being capable of producing those kinds of numbers against the best teams in college football don’t meet your theshold of elite, then it might be time to revisit your definition IMO.
You can’t fault him for working within the boundaries of the offense that coaches designed at Clemson. But when he did throw to deeper routes he was the second best QB in the country in on-target percentage. He hit at a 75% completion rate on targets 16-20 yds downfield in the middle of the field. That’s golden at the NFL level. His red zone efficiency as a passer is jaw dropping. If there is a potential wart, it’s that his 3rd/4th down conversion rate is about average, but is offset curiously by his 3rd/4th down accuracy rate which is superb. So there are questions there whether he knew where the down markers were - which is odd given the summation of the rest of his game - or whether his receivers knew where the down markers were when they ran their routes.
Hey, detract all you want. But if he doesn’t meet your level of elite then please define what it takes for a QB to meet your standard. I’d like to see what your definition is so that we can take a look at what you do expect.
Nothing about Lawrence
