If Lawrence is lucky enough, lets suppose hypothetically, to get a halfway decent, good O-line and Meyer and Jags FO are saavy or intelligent enough to lure enough talented FA's on both sides of the ball(and they have more then enough cap money do it right now) if Lawrence is instructed early on in his development to stay safe, play smart and wisely learn and grow his fundamentals, do you think he can achieve some meaningful success early on?All well and good but the ball is outside the frame and I doubt the event was conducted by NFL talent evaluators with a radar gun.
You claimed to have ball Velocity data.
Call me when you have more than anecdotes, unsubstantiated rumors, or grainy videos from high school competitions that don't include the entire shot of the pass.
I've personally never seen Lawrence throw a football more than 60 yards or even near 60 without a running start and the video the other guy above posted makes me even more skeptical than before.
What's more important for an incoming rookie QB? Having a strong arm, but a mediocre-terrible O-line or lack of offensive weapons like Mayfield suffered under his first couple of seasons. Or would you be willing to give a promising QB who may not have THE strongest passing arm or velocity compared to rest of his fellow NFL Draft QB contemporaries but has a much higher, intelligent football IQ, can read and react to complex defenses, their adjustments, schemes and with a good O-line and good offensive foundation in place, he can be more dangerous and effective in helping his team move the ball and score consistently while not having to awe home or opposing fans, sports writers, or ESPN pundits, talking heads on shows like Get Up, First Take or NFL Live how strong and how far he can pass the ball?
