Treavor Lawrence... WOW!!!

.McL. : 1/8/2019 2:46 am
The show he put on against Alabama. Unbelievable throws, even under pressure.

Is he the best pure Freshman QB ever?
Is he going to be the best prospect since P. Manning? Since Elway?

Incredibly impressive

Tua not so much. I think he's another JAG
Trevor Lawrence is the best I’ve ever seen...  
Matt G : 1/8/2019 4:32 am : link
Better prospect than Manning or Luck... Just breathtaking

Tua is not even in the same stratosphere... Fantastic college QB, but I have no idea how anyone projects him as a Top 10 pick...
That kid was unbelievable last night

It’s crazy, him playing like that right out of high school.
What’s crazier is that he was better against ND  
bhill410 : 1/8/2019 6:13 am : link
Some bias here but the only game he “struggled” with was BC who has some legitimate pass rushers on their defense.

Kid is scary good and SEC and nation who don’t watch ACC finally got a glimpse of just how good the last two weeks.
Just too add one of the reasons I don’t

Freak out going with Haskins next year or Eli for next two. If Haskins sucks we may be in position to draft Lawrence and if we plan on Eli next two years that’s a viable likelihood as well.
i've watched every game this year  
markky : 1/8/2019 6:15 am : link
he's improved throughout the year on some of the small stuff (fake handoffs, etc.). i think he'll be even better next year.

Waiting until 2020? Strategy in doubt?  
PhilSimms15 : 1/8/2019 6:39 am : link
With Tua looking mere mortal and Herbert having a so-so season, does that mean the 2020 QB class isn’t anything special? Many on this board have called waiting until 2020 as the best strategy for the NYG to find their future QB. But is that strategy now in doubt?

Is Haskins better than Tua? How about Haskins v Herbert?

Of course Jake Fromm will likely come out but waiting until 2020 to figure out the future of the Giants’ QB situation now appears to be quite a risk.

I don’t know if Haskins is better than Tua, but I don’t think the gap if he wasn’t as good as Fromm and Tua is as big as it’s made out to be.

crick n NC : 1/8/2019 7:49 am : link
His hype is probably only going to increase by no fault of his own which create unrealistic expectations. By the time he is ready for the draft if someone reminds the crowds that have bought into the hype that he isn't a sure thing laughing and mocking will ensue.

Then when the player starts their pro career and perhaps doesn't come out of the gates the way the hype predicted then impatient fans will unreasonably criticize. It happens often with super hyped prospects. We expect them to just make a seamless transition to the pro game because of the hype.
Very impressive, but the Clemson OL played better than

Does that same speech get repeated for those who advocate building up the lines? Because those guys aren't sure things either, there are plenty of busts waiting to be had in the OL/DL space.
It applies to all prospects

Not at all. Because Tua has one bad game in his first season as the full-time starter, we are going to throw him under the bus? If he was eligible to enter the 2019 draft, I would bet dollars for donuts he would be the first QB taken. A lot can happen in the 2019 season, but the 2020 QB class is still looking deep at this point.

This is how I see it as well. Lawrence is THE prize but he’s not available until 2021. Assuming DG is still around, he’ll have the team settled into customary 3rd place finishes in the division by then (I don’t expect us to surpass Dallas and Philadelphia anytime soon). We’d have to be awful to get the #1 overall pick because whichever team does, they’re not trading it.
Too bad he'll never be a giant

Two of the biggest games he’s played in this year he hasn’t been the same player, especially under pressure.

I’m not saying Haskins is better or just as good, but the gap isn’t as large as it’s made out to be. By this time next year we could easily be saying “maybe we shouldn’t have waited”

We’d have to be like 2-14 in 2020. I think only starting Lauletta for 16 games insures something like that. The rest of the roster should be good enough by then to get us to at least .500

Tim, he wasn't a sure thing. He was projected to be a very good to possibly great pro. It looks like their estimations or educated guesses were correct.

Also we aren't only talking about ability here. Guys get hurt and are never the same, some guys don't hold up mentally. There are other factors besides their ability holding up in the pros. The whole point is no matter how great the college player it never means certainty. But hype will cloud judgement

If we have a chance at Haskins, we have to take it. I think Fromm will be a better pro, but it would be a risky bet to think we could get him next year.
Yep.

Simms11 : 1/8/2019 8:54 am : link
as we’ll most likely be drafting a QB, within the next two years, in the first round. He is a tremendous talent and there’ll be a team, worst in the league that year, that’ll probably have their Franchise QB. Not going to be the Giants however. I wouldn’t put him in Canton just yet, but he certainly looks like he’s a guy that could get there.

You actually think a team, with the very real possibility that Lawrence will grade out as high as Luck or Manning did (this kid has been hyped up and discussed in circles since he was 14 years old) will simply to trade him away for a couple of extra draft picks?

Really?
A couple of weeks ago, Tua was the bomb.  
since1925 : 1/8/2019 9:18 am : link
Never read too much into a college football game. Game film is only a piece of the file.

Lawrence was not sacked in that game. He had a clean pocket and time to throw on most passing plays. He did look great. But most guys look great with a comfortable pocket.

Consider the hypothetical of a team that has their QB and for whatever reason (injuries/bad play) they end up with the #1 pick. How great of a haul would that team receive trading the rights to Lawrence?

from the Gruden and the Raiders, they get bailed out by getting the first pick when Lawrence comes out. Like the Cavs winning the lottery and drafting Lebron, then Kyrie.

2018: Tom Brady takes his team to the division title, but looks a clear step behind the Brady that was 2017 NFL MVP.

2019: Brady continues to deteriorate, perhaps they sneak in the wildcard anyway, enough to get Brady to give it one more try.

2020: Downslopes of careers happen fast at this age, and Brady finally doesn’t have it anymore, but no one will bench Brady. The Patriots finish in last place, and pick Lawrence........
