The defense got incredibly worse tho, that's what actually happened. Acknowledging a significant injury affected Trevor's play isn't an attempt at exonerating the defense who also significantly contributed to the late season collapse and gave up way too many points down the stretch. Trevor and the offense need to get better next year than what we saw from them this year. Full stop. The defense needs to be better on the whole next year. Full Stop. The reasons why they weren't better this year will be debated all offseason, but this need by some to shoot down that Trevor was apparently less accurate and more turnover prone in the final 4 games is just... weird. It's like they feel threatened if an injury might legitimately explain away some of their conclusions about him and the season. Maybe it would have been better for all involved had he had a season ending injury that night. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

These stats don't even include the 12 fumbles, makes him look even better than he was. This is the way I currently feel about Trevor's performance this season. These injuries hurt him both physically and mentally during the 2nd half of the season. No excuses for the dumb fumbles and interceptions. He obviously played like a below average quarterback following these injuries. His mechanics and judgement were clearly worse, however, and this does go back to the injuries. Lawrence was able to overcome the terrible offensive line last season due to his ability to thrown on the run or simply to scramble for rushing yards. His injuries did not allow that to happen this season and the loss of Kirk and Zay Jones for several weeks didn't help either! I may be wrong about Lawrence, but he is the least of my worries as long as the new general manager (I beg you, Shad) addresses the offensive line. Baalke is not one to admit his mistakes and I don't see this changing in the future. If Khan maintains the status quo, our fans are just going to get more heartache and Lawrence will never become the "generational quarterback" many predicted after the Jags drafted him.

You seem to be the happiest person on the board right now. You backtrack quicker than Michael Jackson.
Just remember next year when Trevor is healthy and playing well again, all these ridiculous posts will be bought up. Enjoy your Trevor bashing. You've had to wait long enough for it.

I agree that Lawrence needs to fix the turnovers and if he does hes great

But keep trolling. I’m sure if he improves next year you’ll claim you felt different then now. And we will be here to hammer you as you do deserve it now.

Bro if I took his game logs, and moved the stats around for each game you wouldn't know the difference. His stat line is consistently 1 td 1 int 2 td 2 int 0 td 1 int He has literally never thrown 3 TDs without 3 ints in his career here. He's not been good at all, what you just described were two HORRIBLE games versus his below average typical games. He's not been elite, he hasn't even been good and you're an absolute fool if you suggest otherwise. He's had 3-4 "Great games" in his career, most of which came last season.

The biggest change from 8-3 to 9-8 was the defense either got exposed, or got worse. Trevor was the same guy from week 1 to week 18. That excuse is not valid. No way dude. Check out the interception numbers. 7 in the first 11 games then 7 in the last 5 games. Less than one INT per game then more than one INT per game.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

I don't really care to argue the point further, but I don't necessarily follow you on why this clip was a response to my post though.

Trade a bunch of picks to Chicago for the No.1 or Justin Fields? Sign a retread FA QB? Draft his "replacement" at Jag current pick? Please advise. If he is as bad as you are stating, they should move on from him; correct?

Lawrence needs to work on a few things this off season:
1. Ball security. 2. Protecting himself in the field of play. 3. Being a bit more checkdown Charlie in games. Other than that, he has everything else going for him. Size, athleticism, arm strength and toughness. I think there's actually a sweet spot for this kid too when it comes to pass attempts. When he had 29 or less pass attempts in 2023, they went 1 - 3. When he had 40 or more pass attempts, they went 0 - 5. When he had 30 - 39 pass attempts, they went 7 - 0. They were 8 - 1 this past season when he had a QB rating of 90.0+ or higher, the one game they lost? It was the game he couldn't finish due to injury with the Bengals. He had six games this year with a QB rating of 100+. I genuinely don't think he's the be all, end all issue on this football team, but, again, we've now asked this guy to play perfect football for two years in a row on a team with a head coach that has a gambling problem, his third offensive coordinator in a row, no running game and a below average offensive line. He has plenty of space to work with before he reaches his ceiling. If Baalke can dig his head out of his [BLEEP], and, Taylor and Pederson can give the kid a break in the running game? I think we'll get a high end Alex Smith type football player out of him, the one where he stays with his original team and doesn't become a competent passer with his second stint elsewhere. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king." (01-09-2024, 11:08 AM)Caldrac Wrote: Lawrence needs to work on a few things this off season:Couldn't disagree more with #3. Once you turn him into checkdown Charlie, there is no reason to have him on the team. Just about any QB of the street can do that. What makes Lawrence special is his ability to push the ball downfield (which this team couldn't do because the line was garbage) and hit those 2nd level windows. The second he stops doing that, he stops being special. |
