I thought Lawrence was the best QB prospect of all time.

Only Clemson fans actually believe this.

Even after Fields drug his nuts over Lawrence's face at the Opening they have mods still claiming Lawrence is superior:

Clemson Recruiting Updates (Offense): On Why Trevor Lawrence is Still the Best in 2018

quote:

Trevor Lawrence (6’6, 200, Cartersville, GA): I am sure that some recruiting service is going to put Justin Fields ahead of Trevor Lawrence. It is good for clicks and hits to have some controversy over the number one overall spot and commentators who were present at the event were rightfully wowed by Fields performance. But Clemson fans shouldn’t be worried at all and there is still no doubt that Lawrence is the number one overall player in the country.

Look, 7-on-7 is an effective measure for evaluating the talent of DB’s, WR’S, and QB’s but it is also a learned skill. Guys who play a lot of 7-on-7 generally perform better than their peers. Fields plays a good bit of 7’s. I don’t want to take anything away from Fields, he was excellent, but these games are played in shorts. If Fields deserves to be the number two QB in the country and if he continues to improve and puts up crazy numbers in Georgia, then we can have a debate (Fields is also just 6’3 and it is a different animal in shorts and with no Oline).

Lawrence didn’t perform poorly either. Based on many accounts he looked like the number one player before the 7’s portion of the festivities and he only really struggled against Fields team in the 7’s. Most of the QB’s at the event were just checking everything down and TL made some riskier throws into coverage because of the rules of 7’s. I stand by my belief that TL has the ability to be the best QB to ever play at Clemson. (Update: 24/7 just did it)
