Have you ever played QB and learned an offense? I’m not attacking, just asking. It’s hard to remember sometimes where every receiver is supposed to be...let alone where they actually end up... even at the high school level. Especially when you’ve been in the offense for a short time.

He is barely into this offense. He had no real training camp in it. That’s why the anticipation has gone away. I’ve mentioned numerous times, I kept waiting for some of his escapes in the pocket for weeks and then all of a sudden in the Texans game, they came back. My theory is that he has learned the offense to the point that when the play breaks down, he understands where the routes have gone and where his guys are.

IMO, it’s trying to consume a new offense that is undoubtedly complicated mixed with defenses throwing new looks at him.

PS9, Your comments make me think of when in training camp this year, Jay stated that the Jags offense is "still in diapers". But back then fans were more optimistic about things because of reports of how players were looking in training camp.  I do wonder if Gardner will start to grasp it more as the season goes on. And how that might impact the team and if will help them win any of their remaining games. It's bad that the team is on a long losing streak, where people aren't sure (and in some cases don't believe) if they will get another win.

I know some people want them to lose out/think the team is better of that way. But I don't like to see the Jags have this long stretch of losing.
