    I don't have to do anything. I know what I meant and that's good enough for me.

    I wasn't the only one. I can find you several ppl after the initial start they had saying they would be done. But he and them proved me wrong. But I do think they will take a step back once all that talent isn't surrounding him. He has easily the best wr core in the nfl. Not saying he'll be a bum or something but definitely will take a step back. He ain't mahomes.

    He improved as the season went on. I think it's fair to say that by the end of the year he was a "good" NFL Quarterback. Let's wait and see. The trend is up. What do you want us to do, bash the kid for being a rookie? Nobody actually knows how good he will be. Including you.

    Somebody quoted you and showed exactly where you changed your story and you are still going to try to sell that lie that you didn't?

    He wants to bash the kid because a failed NFL quarterback told him to before Pickett was drafted and now he's in too deep to back down.

    You made excuses for Lawrence's erratic play as a rookie. The guy who was the consensus No. 1 overall pick by the time he was a sophomore at Clemson looked better than Pickett as a rookie and that is somehow an indictment of Pickett? You're funny.

    When did I SAY Lawrence was erratic? I told you everything he was ealing with and said he was better than Pickett. Never once talked about if he was erratic or not.

    Had nothing to do with that lol and it has nothing to do with being in too deep. Like someone else mentioned I bashed burrow before and guess what? He proved me wrong. Pickett hasn't done anything to prove me wrong.

    The standard for some of you are really low. This guy barely passed for 200 yards in this nfl and you are saying he looked good lol?

    Also again, why didn't anyone trade up for Pickett last yr like the panthers just did for stroud, young, or whatever qb they like?

    Lawrence threw three interceptions in a game three times, including a four-interception stinker in a 20-0 loss to the Titans. He had some good games, such as the victory over the Colts in the season finale that helped get the Steelers into the playoffs, but he also threw more interceptions than touchdowns. He was erratic as a rookie. If you don't even know that, you know next to nothing about his rookie season.

    Because he was drafted where he belonged, the latter half of the first round.

    Let me ask you this, with no other changes to the circumstances, if mahomes had been in Jacksonville for the last five years, would you be thinking of him in the same way as you do now? Are all of those wide open receivers open only because he is the one throwing the football? I saw a stat where something like 30 of his touchdown passes went 5 or less yards past the line of scrimmage in the air, I think virtually every starting qb in the league would have completed those throws. He should thank his lucky stars for Andy Reid. I'm not saying he isn't good, just not the otherworldly being some make him out to be.

    Wow. You have low standards. Burrow hasn't won a Super Bowl and you are saying he proved you wrong.

    Oh, I'm sure you can find others who thought Burrow wouldn't be good. We know you just regurgitate the ideas of others.

    Of course, you are hedging your bets here, insisting that Burrow is only this good because he has great receivers. Burrow showed he could be special at LSU, then showed it would translate to the NFL as a rookie when the team around him was a disaster. That was before they had Chase and when Higgins was a rookie.

    He was outplayed by mahomes. No shame In that mahomes is far better..its like the guys I'm the 90s who played against mj that have zero rings. People understand they ran into mj who was just better.

    So why wasn't Pickett erratic who threw more picks then tds lol? Lawrence had some bad games. Never said he had a perfect season. But he also should why he was the #1 pick.

    Yet we've seen qbs who should've been drafted in the latter half of the draft, traded up for.
