Stroud: 'I want teams in our division to be as bad as possible'"},"content":{"rendered":"

Trevor Lawrence entered the 2023 campaign as the clear top quarterback in the AFC South. It might not be such an obvious argument moving forward.<\/p>\n

C.J. Stroud has been a sensation in Houston, again displaying masterful pocket manipulation and accuracy Sunday against Jacksonville. Lawrence and the Jaguars made enough plays to escape with a 24-21 win, but if Week 12 was any indication, we could see an array of entertaining games from the two clubs in the future.<\/p>\n

Asked about a potential long-term rivalry, Lawrence quipped that he’d rather his division opponents stink.<\/p>\n

“I want teams in our division to be as bad as possible,” he said, chuckling, via the team’s official website. “That’s how I see it. The way they’re playing, it’s exciting, yes. There’s gonna be some, I’m sure, great matchups down the road. And C.J. is playing lights out. He’s doing a great job. To be a rookie and to play how he is, I’ve got a lot of respect for him. I know how hard it is. I’ve been in that position. He’s doing a great job and it’s going to be fun for years to come, hopefully. But no, I wouldn’t prefer that. I’d prefer if the guys in our division didn’t have good quarterbacks. It would be better for us.”<\/p>\n
