He has that "make something out of nothing" ability that requires strength and athleticism. During the game I found myself comparing Wilson to him - like what if the QBs were switched.
An example was the play the Jets LB came untouched up the middle - it was such an athletic instinctive play that Lawrence made to escape, there is zero doubt Wilson turtles and gets killed. Wilson's one move to avoid the rush is run 15 yds backwards and 20 yds sideways then throw up a prayer.
I'm with you I think Lawrence will be better than Herbert. Esp now with a good coach and system (and some teammates producing) to support him. Herbert can make some rocket throws, but to me there's a lack of a "wow" factor when it somes to using his athleticism to make other plays - or even willingness to do so. Maybe at this point I'm just spoiled by Josh 😛
