While I have no idea how this will all shake out, putting Lawrence at the top of the list is a very easy decision.

He’s going to be the starter week one in Jacksonville, and there won’t even be a competition. He’s the savior the Jags need and it’s 100% his team.

In order to win OROY, you need to play a bunch of snaps. If Lawrence is healthy, he’s going to play every single important snap of the season for Jacksonville.

As for Wilson and Fields, the Jets are going to start the former BYU passer on day one as well. It’s unclear right now if the Bears will sit Fields at all or if he’ll also enter the season as the unquestioned starter.

Seeing as how there’s uncertainty there, going with Wilson seems like the smart idea. That doesn’t mean Wilson is guaranteed to have a better season.

It just means he’s guaranteed to start and Fields isn’t.
