Consensus is the absence of leadership.

He's a good QB, not great and he needs some help but we could do a lot worse. He needs better coaching and personnel.

He has the tools to be great, but like all QBs he can't do it on his own.

The physical tools but I don’t see the ability from the eyebrows up to be a truly great player. But it’s reasonable to believe he can be a franchise QB for this team for a long time.

We can't be mad at the team for picking him, because he is the best QB if the 2021 class, still.
We can't be mad at the team for renewing him because he's well above average, usually.
This is part of being a fan of one team. If you're only going to root for teams with MVP level QBs you'll be hopping from team to team a lot.

The thing I hate about Lawrence game is 9 times out of 10 he makes the wrong play when the game is on the line. He will never be a star but maybe with time and talent around him he could be a good starter. Time will tell.

9 times out of 10, hmm? I'm a trillion percent sure that you should back off the hyperbole just a smidge.

breaking news Trevor is asking to be traded to a winning team with a offensseive line so he can contintue to win. Hes had enough loseing.

I think you’re making that up wolf.

His rookie year he at a megalomaniac for a HC that had no interest in anything other than pushing his own weird agenda.

His 2nd Year he had Jim Bob helping him learn how to be a good QB.  Then he left.

Since then, he's had a HC that is more worried about building a "Coaching Tree" than actually doing the work of developing a QB or even really running a football team.

Trevor Lawrence is a franchise level QB.  He still has all the potential to make the Jaguars a playoff contender, even with this current roster.  The problem is he's not being coached up the way other QBs are being coached.  Monday Night's game shows it.  Does anyone here really think that Baker Mayfeild is a better QB?  I'm not saying Baker is a scrub.  He's got some talent, but he's good because he has a coaching staff around him that helps him be great.  

Lawrence is doing this all on his own with a OC that is out of his depth, and a HC that has been checked out for 2 years now.  I have no doubt that with the right staff in place, we win the division or are a wild card team for the next 10 to 15 years.  He has all the tools.  The fact that he makes mistakes sometimes doesn't change the fact that he's one of the most talented QBs in the league.

I am,but we all know that wil happen someday. that day is closer then people think. I wouldn't blame Trevor either. After all he only lost 2 games his whole carrer until Loserville drafted him.

Your last paragraph is pretty spot on.

The Jags are horrendous when Pederson/Taylor script the first 15 plays. Then, when Trevor kind of just does his thing, the offense does well.

Give me Liam Coen or Ben Johnson.

I seriously doubt Ben Johnson wants to come here. In fact, he may not even want to be a HC. Why does everyone assume that the top candidates are dying to come here? Hows that worked out historically?

Ben Johnson is the best available.  I think Shad Khan has enough money to entice him...  But he needs an EVP that can really explain to him why that type of caliber of coaching makes a difference.  If anyone can sell Shad, it would be a Hall of Fame player that is also in the Bank's Ring of Honor.

I'm hoping for the best.  I'm a die hard fan.  I want the best for this team.  I think Boselli is the one that can really turn this thing around.

Based on the topic of this thread, I think Boselli understands that a good O-Line will make Lawrence a top 5 QB.  Lawrence is a franchise QB.  He just needs the support every other good QB gets.  Lawrence is an island right now.  He's got no help. 

It's hard to determine his potential at this point.

Yeah. I am starting to think this as well. Same for Bobby Slowik in Houston. There's really no reason to rush it. Coming here actually might be a pain in the [BLEEP] when they start playing outside of the city of Jacksonville during the stadium upgrade. As a potential new coach you might want some kind of extra leverage in your contract with that alone potentially because it does impact the game to some extent. 

The main thing is Baalke. Nobody is going to come here until that son of a [BLEEP] is out of here. It was the primary driving force three years ago when they started the hiring process all over again with Meyer out of the organization. As much [BLEEP] as I give Pederson and his inability to find the right defensive staff to bail his [BLEEP] out?

He did Khan a favor coming here if we're being honest. They interviewed eight different candidates in total back in 2021.

Todd Bowles
Jim Caldwell
Matt Eberflus
Nathaniel Hackett
Byron Leftwich
Kellen Moore
Dan Quinn
Doug Pederson

Certainly not the greatest line up, but, that's just what we know or were made aware of three years ago. How many other candidates potentially said "do not disturb" due to Baalke still being in the equation?

Hey look, another stupid people say stupid things and yup you guessed it... This guy ^ is right there at the top of the list.

I think TL has all kinds of untapped potential. I just don't know if being in Jacksonville is the place that can bring it out in him. I think a fresh start on a new team that isn't so dysfunctional would do him worlds of good. I would hate to see him go, but I would also hate to see him stay and fail.

Could be just like Alex Smith's career with the 49ers and Chiefs. We'll see. We have him until he's at least close to 30 years old for the time being on paper at least. A lot can change (in a good way hopefully) between now and then.

You tried, and sometimes that's what counts.

You have an obsessive personality, don't you?

You obsessed over the idea that it was the coaches, not players in almost every post.

Now you're obsessing over the idea that Boselli needs to be hired as EVP in almost every post.

What do you think that the EVP does? And why do you think Boselli has shown that he can do that job?
