If Trevor Lawrence goes somewhere else in the NFL, I believe he’s gonna have tremendous success.
It’s not an accident.
We continue to see guys that were drafted move other places and have success.

few years should a team trade for him is 24 million, 35 million, and 47 million respectively.

10.
Love it.
10, 100%, absolutely.
Get out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes.
Get out of the Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, like no more of these old past their prime quarterbacks who are, you know, below average at best.
Average at best, I’d be done with that.
Have a quarterback of the future.
Have a quarterback that you can build around.
No more of these putting band-aids on things and trying to just push your chips into the middle for one year and try and get into the playoffs for that one year.
No, find some consistency at that position.
Find a guy that you can build around.
