Both because it would help fixing Lawrence's current problems and would help with a playbook that is tailormade to Lawrences' strengths?

If the current accuracy issues mostly are due to wr's(and I actually believe there is some merit to that argument) then off season focus should be on wr and te only. 

Of course if it is the receivers that is the problem then that most likely gets Bevell and Schottenheimer off the hook. I mean, what can they really do about that? The head coach or the wr coach on the other hand...

Funny, but that's why I posted the link about Mac Jones in the other thread. 

McDaniels said Jones throws catchable balls. Their receivers are also pretty bad. 

I still don't think Lawrence is a bust but it's also weird how we shouldn't pretend he has accuracy issues or throws missiles to guys near him.

Consider... what would Lawrence look like on the Pats team? Would belicheat have liked to draft Lawrence? What would Mac Jones look like on this team?

Sadly if we hadn't drafted Lawrence the front office may have drafted better. They flat coasted.

That in all seriousness is the real question. The majority opinion on this board blame coaches and receivers for Lawrence's struggles. In that case Lawrence would have been just as good as Jones in New England and Jones would have been trash in Jacksonville. 

With Jones there's another angle. Before the draft it was rumored that the Niners traded up to get him and 'everyone' was either laughing or shaking their head at that. Why would the Niners do THAT? Do you think Jones would have been good on the Niners? I think so and I think it's not just the New England system with him. 

Of course this could mean that the Jaguars staff are particularly inept.

Frankly, regarding the other part of your post I wonder if it's because Lawrence isn't as good as advertised? I think they expected him to elevate everyone around him. Again, that could be another reason why the staff don't know what they're doing.

IMO, the jury is still out although I think it's clear he's better than Gabbert.
