PlayoffsPlease Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 20 minutes ago, Warcodered said: Doesn't he kind of have the exact opposite backstory to Allen though? Allen went unrecruited and managed to claw his way to Wyoming an at best middle level Mountain West team. Trevor Lawrence was the highest rated QB recruit and ended up at a College Championship competing team. Does he have a similar play style or something? I mean I'm definitely hoping for Allen to become a great QB which I suppose would mean people would make bad comparisons to him for upcoming QBs in the draft. The similarities are height, toughness and running ability. I don't care about the back stories. 8 minutes ago, uticaclub said: Lawrence is a generational talent. While I warmed up to Allen, he has never had a game that good against a Mountain West opponents on a Saturday afternoon, let alone Bama in a national title game. Allen is a grinder and will do whatever it takes to win. Lawrence is a natural QB that makes the game look easy Its not 2021 yet. You need to be able to project.

If you read my original you will see that I explicitly projected him to be the premier AFC QB. And Trevor Lawrence won't be. But Trevor will be tall, tough and a good runner. Hence trevor will only be the poor man's Josh Allen. Its not too complicated. Try to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Buffalo716 said: Not even close to the same kind of QB. Allen is literally Superman. 6’5 240 and can pretty much do anything on the field physically Sunshine, is way more a traditional QB... Cerebral, picture perfect lower body mechanics, effortless release, precision, throws in the face of pressure Both can be outstanding but Trevor is wayyyy ahead of Allen at 19 Good assessment. I think Josh has more mobility and arm strength but Trevor's pocket poise is off the charts for a freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should only get his arm stronger and body more durable 230 is perfect when he comes out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely take a career like that. I'm just saying Lawerence will be viewed as Luck or Manning where everyone will think he's the future of NFL before he takes a snap. While Josh will be considered a solid NFL QB. The whole notion of a "Poor Mans Josh Allen" is laughable, Lawerence already accomplished more in college then Allen did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
