So let's look at PM's first 2 seasons. Great coaching and continuity within the coaching staff. He had a very difficult rookie year. I was extremely concerned until he brought the team back in the 4th qtr, against a quality Jets team for the victory. Peyton then breaks out in year 2.
So maybe the light goes on for Lawrence in year 3 and he has a breakout season with 2 years of actual good coaching.
If not, I'll agree with you that he will just be a run of the mill mediocre QB in the NFL.

The thing is though the light has already gone on for Lawrence. Despite getting off to a rough start due to the hangover from the Meyer dumpster fire, he still threw for a 66% completion percentage, 4,100 yards, and a TD/Int ratio of 25/8. If you look at the 2nd half of the season (final 9 games) he threw for 70%, 2,300 yards, and 15/2.
Of course Dam's delusional ass is going to get on here and say all of that was pure luck, but anyone with any sense knows you can't luck your way into those good of numbers in the NFL.
