There are no “sure thing” college QB’s. Some (most) just can’t make the transition…

He doesn't play for ND. Who cares?

The offensive line is stinking up the field
Trevor Lawrence isn't the problem. If anything, he's one of the reasons why they're able to make something out of nothing all too often.
The game against the Browns, where they had to drive the entire field, down by 3, starting at their own 2 yard line, was the ultimate display of the ineptitude of the line. The left side of the line got overrun, and the result was a safety.
The offensive line was terrible last year as well. They were arguably the worst at running the ball last year, and their pass protection wasn't much better.
It wouldn't matter if you had Joe Montana or Tom Brady at the QB position, or Emmitt Smith at RB. If the offensive line can't perform, then the most talented quarterbacks and running backs will look like journeymen out there.
The lone exception was probably Barry Sanders...
Barry could see the matrix

My 2 cents - which is probably all is worth
The NFL and college are two totally different games. I find it surprising that NFL teams don’t realize that letting a kid watch for 2 or 3 years matters. Darnold was not good until he sat and watched for a year or 2. Green Bay gets it - let Rogers sit for a few years, let Love sit for a few years. Yes - there are anomalies - Purdy, Allen, etc. But those are rare. I don’t think you can take a college kid, 24 years old, and throw him into the NFL and say figure it out. The NFL is a zone scheme game, college is a blitz, man game. It’s not even the same game. It doesn’t help, bad teams have a bad offense line and bad receivers and a QB is going to fix it all. Build an OL and a defense and then draft a QB to watch for 2 years. My 2 cents.
I still think it is the line on that team. He has to rush every play just a bit and as good as he
is escaping and getting the pass off, it is hard for any QB to do. Lawrence would be a superstar on the right team. Except on the play below I spoke of, it was a terrible throw.
Tom Brady made this identical point

You should apply for the Panthers GM job.
Now, do you think maybe some of what you say about OL applies to Leonard?
Agreed.

All true…but teams still dream of the “quick fix”…because it has happened. Even though what you…
…laid out is the better path.
Well played

That first half from Josh Allen was as good as I have ever seen from any QB. Overrated? A strong no!
