It was after London...  We should have won that game, and Trevor Lawrence was the main reason.  I realized, it was partly my fault for using that stupid nick name where you use the first letter of his first name and then the first 3 letters of his last name.

I told myself, If I'm going to be a better fan, I need to respect the QB.  Since then, I've only called him only by his given name.  Trevor Lawrence. 

After all, how can I expect a true professional QB if I'm not going to refer to him professionally.

If you didn't feel this way after London, you're lying to yourself.  But!  I didn't lose faith where I gave up.  It was just time to give the team some tough love.  And you know, the rumors are that the team gave Trevor a tough speech too.  This game, this embarrasment to Trevor was his turning point.

And then, Trevor became the leader and was able to call out the team in Detriot.

But London,  London was the game where Trevor Lawrence was held accountable.  And instead of flinching or denying his accountability.  He accepted it and did something about it!

You have to respect a man like him.  I hope he never loses this as he gains more and more success.

Where are you hearing this?  Gotta be honest, it sounds made up.  Not necessarily saying you’re making it up which is why I’m curious where you heard it.  Maybe it was out there and I missed it.  Regardless, there were several players responsible for different losses this year, so for anyone on the team to have had a talking to to Lawrence specifically as you suggest and for that to now be credited as the reason for the turn around in this team’s fortunes has me chuckling over here.

I swear to God, I'm not crazy.  There were several discussions on AM 620 and FM 92.6, and on the Youtube channel Locked On Jaguars, not to mention Action Sports Jax with Dan Hicken...   

Honestly, it's hard to pin point the exact quotes, but I clearly remember that within the entirety of October there was grumblings.  And then, somewhere around after the Raiders win, several radio personalities that have youtube channels started talking about how Trevor was confronted by team-mates and told that he's gotta play better because they rely on him. 

I'm not making it up.  Swear to god, I heard it several times after we started turning the corner... 

The comeback win against the Raiders was when Locked on Jaguars first said he heard that players were coming up to Trevor... 

We lost at the Chiefs, but it wasn't because of Trevor.  And then there were a couple more personalities that said that Trevor had some hard conversations about his play in London and that's why Trevor's play had gotten so much better.

I honestly don't think I'm the only one that heard about this.  But if I am, I guess it's up to me to prove.  

I take the challenge.  I know I heard it.  Unless I dreamed it up and kept having the same dream for 4 weeks....
I mean, seriously, if you are a real fan that's been watching the entire season.  There was a change between London and the rest of the season.

You guys are questioning me, but have you not seen a huge a leap he made after London?  Even Trevor mentions London.  

Maybe tomorrow when I have some time, I'll try to find some of the quotes I heard.  The problem is that Jaguars.com and 1010XL and Action Sports Jacksonville often delete out their daily broadcasts after a certain amount of time...  But I'll try.
