Watch him vs. Georgia if you want an example of him succeeding under adverse conditions. He doesn't have clean pockets all night and college open receivers on every play in that game. Very early in the game, he gets drilled by Ojulari, who is a free rusher on the play, but manages to step into a deep shot on a post to Waddle who takes it 90+ yards to the house. Several other times he steps up into collapsing pockets and takes shots to deliver throws where and when they need to be. The anticipation and processing speed with which he works is elite.

Also, I don't think people who think Lawrence is can't miss have watched his tape, either. He certainly has the physical tools to potentially be the best QB in the NFL for a long period of time, but don't let anyone fool you into believing there isn't a bust floor there. He's going to have to get much better at reading defenses in the NFL and throwing with anticipation if he wants to succeed in the NFL and have a long career that isn't cut short by injuries from excessive running.
Well, we will just have to disagree Dam. Time will tell.
