Count me in as another person that still believes in Gardner.  

He wasn't that bad in today's game. Actually he was decent. 2TDs, almost 70% passing and over 100 passer rating. Yes, he looked shaky at times, but I think that may have to do a lot of that being concerned about possibly falling behind due to the defense. But Those stats are decent considering what he's dealing with and in spite of him being a bit shaky.

I think he's been in like the top 15 this season so far, as far as some of his stats/performances goes. First couple of weeks he was like top 10, maybe top 5. And I think he's up there with TD's. Maybe Top 5 in passing TD's? At least top 10. It's not he's going out there and laying an egg every week. He is putting up numbers, but things around him (mainly the defense aren't going well).

People can be very wishy washy when it comes to him. One week's he's the "Savior" next week he's not "the man." And it's often times a lot of the same people who flip flop on their opinions of him. Unfortunately, though that is what a lot fans of franchises who have performed poorly do. He deserves at least the full season to prove himself, he's earned that IMO. People probably are just better just picking a side regarding him and sticking with it for the time being, instead of constantly flipping on him.

And It's not just the Jags that do this type of thing. Almost everyone thinks their young QB's doesn't have "it." Washington fans feel that way about Dwayne Haskins, Giants about Daniel Jones, etc... People don't give young QB's a chance to develop anymore. Even when the QB's are drafted to bad teams and are asked to overcome a lot. There is only so much they can overcome without sufficient help. Even Andrew Luck could only do so much and ended up retiring early, due to problems caused from his lack of help
 
But everybody wants or thinks their team is going to get Trevor Lawrence, (and the constantly cries for him for a lot of different fanbases is a bit much.) We'll see how that works out. Wherever he's drafted it's more than likely going to be a bad team and he will asked to overcome a lot. And it may not be as easy as people think it will be for him.
