Compared to Trevor Lawrence if all went well
Heart: KURT WARNER

Lawrence and Curt Warner Retired Kurt Warner are open about the importance of their Christian faith. both entered league as married / married Men — Lawrence married his high school girlfriend this year.

Charisma: Joe Namath

Like Broadway Joe, select#1 overall in the 1965 AFL Draft, Lawrence has A rare blend of athleticism, arm strength, sex appeal and southern proportions. (Namath led Alabama to a national title in 1964.) Neither of them shy away from bold opinions. Both are famous for having generations great poetry.
Height: Joe Flacco
Super Bowl title and MVP Baltimore Ravens (2013)
At 6’6″, Lawrence stands above most NFL QBs, nearly all of whom are between 6’2″ and 6’5″—seriously, check. The exceptions—Drew Bryce, Russell Wilson—tend to be shorter. Lawrence’s best super company is Flacco , also 6’6″. Ditto 2020, Los Angeles Chargers QB Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert.
The Tenth Factor: “The Sun”
Lawrence’s “Sunshine” nickname evokes the 1970s QB Ronnie “Sunshine” Bass, played by Kip Bardot. in a Remember the giants.

Why the season may not go well for Trevor Lawrence
1. Meyer factor
Of course, when it comes to a first draft, there’s no such thing as a sure thing. QB’s fate depends on his head coach. Jacksonville is a newbie.
“A good football coach needs a patient wife, a loyal dog, and a great quarterback – but not necessarily in that order,” he declared. Hall of Fame Coach Bud Grant. It works both ways. Great QBs always have a Canton-style coach. in a Jacksonville, Lawrence will play Urban Meyer, who was not the head coach of the NFL. Meyer is a college coaching legend, but that means no professional level.
Will he play Jimmy Johnson in Lawrence’s Troy Aikman? Johnson became the first coach to win a college title and then a Energy With Aikman’s Dallas Cowboys in 1993. Or will his stint as Nick Saban look like? Perhaps the greatest college coach of all time, Saban left the NFL after two poor seasons in Miami, hitting a record 15-17 with no playoff appearances.
2. sack attack
Nothing blows up an unmissable career faster than a steady diet of grass.
Wunderkind Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck hit hard bags (Ruptured kidney, anyone?) He retired at age 29. If the Jags don’t improve at passing protection, quickly, dealing with jet lag in London will be the least of Lawrence’s worries.

3. I picked apart
Lawrence’s death in three years at Clemson was a staggering: 90 touchdowns, only 17 interceptions. But given Clemson’s talent and many Opponents lack that – yo, castle! – You would like the second number to be smaller. It equals the grand total of Trey Lance, Justin Fields, and Mac Jones (three The QBs were selected behind Lawrence in this year’s draft) during their entire college career. The NFL defenses brought down an army of college legends.
“There is something in art, but all attempts at science have failed.” – Brian Bellick, Super Bowl-winning coach, on midfield ratings
4. Booby trap
The Jags franchise puts Lawrence in a perilous place – London.
From 2013 to 2019, Jacksonville played a series of Home games in London, an arrangement that will continue into 2021. The UK is a great place to get a pint, but a wicked weekend. For Jags, a game of “at home” in the British capital requires a trip of nearly 5,000 miles with a five-hour time shift. It’s a unique challenge, which may explain why there are 3-4 Jags in their London home.
A bigger issue may arise if, as it were Speculates, team owner Shahid Khan – who also owns the Premier League Team Fulham She explored the purchase of Wembley Stadium in London, where the Jags were moved abroad. COVID has halted most overseas travel, but it hasn’t ended the NFL’s dream of a cash cow franchise in London. If the Jags wanted an easy way to mess with Lawrence’s career, a bunch of transatlantic flights each season would be a good way to start.
