He had 17 game sequence from second half of last season to the first half 2023 where he was putting up top 5 numbers.

The reality is this roster has many deficiencies. Trevor was playing with a bottom tier OL and a bottom tier defense. No running game because the OL is terrible and no time to throw. The Jags don't have a number 1 WR either. The collapse sucked but the Jaguars have much bigger issues than Trevor. He's an excellent QB when healthy as the numbers show and the odds of getting better are very low.

I called this several weeks ago.  This offense went in the pooper once Kirk went down.

It all started with that Bengals' game.

Kirk got hurt on our 1st Offensive play (which was a completed big play down field for 30 yards). Then Lawrence got his ankle stepped on a little bit later. McManus instantly missed a FG (the very next play) after Lawrence got hurt and everything has been in a free fall ever since.

McManus missed at least 5 of his next 6 FGs after that. The young WRs filling the spots of Kirk and Zay had too many route miscommunications and drops (Ridley right there with them). OL only continued to shuffle around and the Defense stopped getting lucky turnovers which greatly exposed their ability to not stop anything.

And of course Trevor only made some of that worse with his stupid [BLEEP] turnovers, mainly the dumb [BLEEP] fumbles. Part of those are due to this team just flat out asking so much of him, but he has to get those fumbles under control.
