The entirety of our helping Trevor this draft so far has been giving him a C who can't move. We had perhaps the slowest offense in the league before the draft and we have only gotten slower.

Not true but you're entitled to your opinion(s).

NH3...

I mean possibly the Bears room is slower but the Jags WR is very much near the bottom

They used 3 key assets on linebackers….. while adding no speed in this draft. I mean the Lions traded up to 12 for Jameson Williams!

The offense going 3 and out won’t help Trevor.

Pederson will certainly help and so will Kirk but come on man. You’re talking yourself into the Jags spending good money and 2 crucial draft picks on linebackers as if that’s smart.

Good God how many times do I have to explain this?  It helps Trevor if we don't start the game down 0-7.  It helps Trevor if we don't force him into a shootout every week.  It helps Trevor if we make the other team punt, or if we get an interception, or force a fumble.  It helps Trevor if we put the offense into favorable field position, instead of every drive starting on our own 25 yard line.  It helps Trevor if we don't put the whole game on his back every week.  Anything that helps the team win helps Trevor.

The defense actually had some really decent games last year….. but it didn’t help Trevor at all. How about that Bills game last year? Was that helping Trevor? You could see a lot of games this season like that.

It’s not that people aren’t understanding your concept. It’s just not some of us don’t agree with it.

I understand that the defense being better, in theory, can help Trevor but that great field position you mention won’t matter a lick if they give the ball right back because they can’t protect Trevor or get open.
