But was his girlfriend hot?

Like you said, there is a difference between 1st and 7th in expectations. This guy was supposed to be the best prospect since Andrew Luck.
As busto as Lawrence is, Iâd trade Tua for him. So I guess even I think he still has hope.
Yeah I didnât mean top 10 QB in his rookie year.
And 4 Super Bowls.
Oh wait, those were not his career stats?

I donât know who shod be COY and MVP and really donât care, but one thing that Iâve been impressed with about LaFleur and Rodgers this season is their willingness to adapt and take what the defense gives them.
The o-line has been decimated. Four backups and one rookie starter much of the season. Theyâve done an admirable job, but from my eye test (maybe the stats prove me wrong), they havenât held the pocket intact that well. LaFleur and Rodgers have done a nice job at being willing to make quick passes and run the ball, rather than trying to make big plays all the time.
Jason Garrett won coach of the year? I donât remember that and I am a cowboys fan.
Cue clapping.
Allen has a lot more tools than Lawrence does but yeah stats wise rookie years are similar across the board.
My comp for Trevor was Manziel with better tools. So uh, yeah I did not hype him either and wondered how the hell the raiders could pass up Calvin Johnson for some dude who could throw ball far but kinda sucked.
but what do I know I got allen wrong in the end I guess.
I agree with you but one quick note on this - this really isnât new for Rodgers, over the last 5 seasons heâs been one of the shortest air yard guys, significantly lower than Brady for example. Off the top of my head itâs been comparable to Brees. Heâs still got a cannon of course but itâs been notable how heâs a shorter thrower now.
System QB imo.

Itâs wild to see how bad the passing stats were among good QBs even as recently as the early 90s. Bradshawâs career numbers arenât even that good even when considering the era he played in. Those Steelers teams were so stacked though.
Imagine how bad Bradshawâs numbers would have been if he didnât have two receivers who both had a massively large catch radius?

you also were a Chase hater iirc

Yeah, that was the take that aged the poorest. At least the Lawrence fanboys can say itâs too early. Chase doubters got nothing.
I just donât get it because Chase was one of the easiest evaluations in recent memory. You saw what LSU did in 2019. You saw that Chase was their #1 over Justin Jefferson. You saw what Justin Jefferson did in the NFL as a 21-year-old rookie. I donât know how you input that data and output âChase will be a bust.â

not coming out I wasnât
people wanted to take sewell and I wouldâve snap taken Chase and definitely posted that on this board at the time.
Fact on chase is though, he doesnât like to get hit (okay that sounded sillyâway, way more than other WRâs) so he mostly has to stay on the outside and he does drop the ball a little bit. Cincy adjusted to his strengths when preseason they did the opposite.
His deep ball touch is actually pretty bad now. He overthrows MVS at least twice a game. MVS might be a nice pick up for a team, I think heâs a FA soon.
Really? MVS looks like trash every time Iâve seen him play. Admittedly, I havenât really paid close attention to a Packers game in a couple of months.
Seems like quarterback play took a big leap from Bradshaw, Staubach, and Stabler to Fouts, Marino and Montana.
Even in the 90s. There is a HOF QB whose arguable best year was
23 TD/14 INT 3445 YDs
