Starting the Trevor Lawrence thread here...
I'll clip the most notable plays that highlight strengths/weaknesses. Keep in mind, in a dominant offense that heavily relied on the screen game, there's probably fewer plays on Lawrence's resume that really tell us a lot about him.

Right off the bat, here's a good example of Lawrence's athleticism. He's isn't just a good runner bc of his size, he can elude athletic linebackers and out-run them
Lawrence cut down on these mistakes in 2020, but his accuracy isn't elite. He'll miss some wide open throws like this one... His accuracy is still a relative strength, but don't expect him to be Aaron Rodgers
You always love to see QBs who can look off their primary read to draw the safety away and then come right back to it and fire a strike
Lawrence and Rodgers had a great connection this year. Always seem to have perfect timing when throwing his direction
Consistently throws a great deep ball.. DJ Chark is gonna love running under these
A good example of his accuracy at its best, but also of the trust he as in his arm... that's an underrated trait that not all the top QBs have. Gotta trust yourself to throw into coverage in the NFL
Another good example of his connection with Rodgers. Not a lot of margin for error here as Rodgers is running out of room, but they both seem to perfectly be on the same page... Hopefully he can quickly develop that with Chark
This is nitpicking a little, but a noticeable weakness is his accuracy when his timing is thrown off. He'll miss some really easy throws if he's rushed... I think that tells us he isn't naturally accurate, but he's learned to be accurate through strong mechanics
One of the worst plays of Lawrence's career. Just pays no attention to the coverage whatsoever (he was bailed out by MIA lining up offsides)... this Miami game was a little rough for him overall
Another example of inconsistent ball placement. Looks like he rushes himself and throws from a bit of an open stance. Still a completion, but the ball placement kills any chance for Etienne to run
Awesome touch on this throw while facing pressure. Drops it in perfectly for Ladson.
Gets lucky with another mistake here. Never saw the LB... this could've been a much different game if these two early mistakes went in Miami's favor
Just tried to do too much here and coughs up a fumble when the game was definitely not wrapped up yet... this was not a great game for Lawrence
Here's the passing chart for Lawrence vs Miami (comp in green/inc in red)
Odd game plan vs Miami... comically heavy emphasis on the screen game, which basically took the ball out of Lawrence's hand... why didn't they trust Lawrence to challenge Miami downfield more?

More great timing with Amari Rodgers downfield
Force Lawrence to rush, and he'll make some questionable decisions and show inconsistent accuracy... this is the stuff he'll need coached out of him quickly in the NFL, bc it'll happen far more frequently
Nice throw while on the move.. He can throw on the move with accuracy as long as he doesn't feel rushed to get rid of the ball too quickly
