Bortles was terrible. Trevor has been bad too.

No. I get it. Both guys were or have been turnover prone. It's something that needs to be addressed heavily in the off season with Lawrence as well. It's a process. Going into year four it needs to be less of a process and more of an automatic, regardless of circumstance or personnel challenges. 

Do. Not. Make. A. Bad. Situation. Worse. 

It's either there or it's not there. More Checkdown Charlie. Less Ragtime Randy. He needs to also hit the deck more when he's running around out there and he needs to keep two hands on the football. 

Not sure what he does in the off season to stay or tune up his football mechanics but he might want to incorporate a lot of bail out running scenarios and multiple practice personnel around him with heavily padded broomsticks trying to whack the football out of his hands or arms. 

Also would like to see use ladders in front of him in drop back passing scenarios. To get more air under the football on deep shots. Had a few get away from him this season and it noticeably hurt. At one point he was one of the better, if not, the best deep ball passer in the NFL QB rating wise. 

Not sure where he finished out there now.

Personally I don't think Trevor does much Mechanically wrong, it's just the errant throws that sail over the WRs heads (which I tend to think is either because he either, thinks he can make the perfect pin point throw which isn't realistic, or the pass rush is affecting his aim) and the decisions to throw a deeper pass into double-triple coverage when theirs a guy wide open underneath. 

It's always been a mental thing with him, I don't think anyone (myself included) thinks he is similar to Blake Bortles as a player in anyway outside of some mental errors. Bortles wasn't a smart QB nor did he have the physical talent. Trevor has the talent physically, but it's yet to be determined whether or not he can truely put it together mentally. 

That's my honest take. I don't want to give up on him, because I do think there can be something there.. but will it ever show up? Don't know.
