He's still only 24.

He has every single quality you want from a QB and yet people don't think he would get the highest contract ever if he hit the open market? Cousins just got a crazy amount and he's old AND coming off a torn achilles.

It's casuals, stat boys and fans of other teams that don't watch a lot of Jaguar football that have no idea what's going on or what they're looking at on Sundays.  Some of the aforementioned even have jobs in NFL media as well, so for those on social media it becomes a bit of an echo chamber underneath the sand where their heads are.

I was looking at the comments on x/twitter after news came across this morning about the extension looming and 9 out of 10 comments were negative or flabbergasted that he could be so well paid so soon.  It's what the market is and he's not only better than the casuals and stat boys think, in talent and ability he's a top 5 QB in the league with potential to be number 1 and I'm confident that will become apparent even for them this season.

[b]3. QB TREVOR LAWRENCE, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS[/b]

Many might call Lawrence’s 2023 season a disappointment, especially considering preseason expectations

.

However, he earned the highest overall grade of his career in 2023 and, during the first part of the season, demonstrated why the Jaguars selected him with the first-overall pick three years ago. Lawrence's 88.1 overall grade after 13 weeks last year ranked fifth among quarterbacks.

He was poised. We all saw it during the 8 - 3 start. His play declined during the toughest stretch of the season last year due to injuries. Once his ankle was stepped on against the Bengals it was all downhill from there. 

Knee earlier in the season.
Ankle later on.
Followed by his throwing shoulder. 
For sure a concussion at one point before or after that. 

This team cannot function without a healthy Trevor Lawrence. I know most teams can say that in general though. This team only goes as far as Lawrence's health allows. Which falls back on the play up front with the big sloppies. Hopefully the big sloppies play like a group of big meanies this year.

They were also having to play a very specific style of offense due primarily to Fortner which got exposed against SF.  I hope Morse can stay healthy and I hope Fortner found the best 'roid dealer around for pissing clean.
