In this story:

On Sunday, Trevor Lawrence led his Jacksonville Jaguars against Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers.

While the game was somewhat of a letdown for McCaffrey who didn't extend his touchdown streak to 18 games, it was an even bigger letdown for Lawrence. The 49ers went on to win by a score of 34-3, with Lawrence only able to complete 58% of his passes while also throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble on the day.

The former No. 1 pick out of Clemson has had some bright moments in his young career, but there have also been head-scratching performances like the one on Sunday. Something former Stanford and NFL star Richard Sherman took to the app formerly known as Twitter to discuss, as he doesn't feel Lawrence is living up to the hype that was surrounding him when he entered the league. 

"So when I make an assessment that Trevor Lawrence hasn’t been the generational talent he was billed to be coming out of Clemson, Jags fans were up in arms. The tape doesn’t lie. The team has won because the defense has gotten turnovers. At this point Trevor Lawrence has more turnovers than TDs on the season. Despite that his team has been winning. He has all the talent in the world however that has not been showcased consistently."

Lawrence has thrown for over 2,000 yards with nine touchdowns to six interceptions this season, and has also fumbled twice this season, losing one of them.

With there still a lot of football to be played this season, he will have ample time to showcase just how good he can be.
