Trevor has 21 lost fumbles in 3 years. I have not looked up records for lost fumbles for a QB over a 3 year span, but there is no way to spin that to the positive.

The turnovers need to stop, and I won't even get on him for all the picks. I have said I am hoping that this is the year Trevor gets the Jags over the hump to becoming a true contender for World Championships. One thing that will help is him holding on to the football.

There needs to be context on these drive-by flippant criticisms.  Your fumble complaint may have some merit even though it's blown out of proportion by the 4 fumble game in 2022 during a tropical storm.  Your "I won't even get on him for all the picks" back hand betrays how you're not really in tune with reality when it comes to Trevor.  He had 8 picks during the 2022 regular season.  Pretty damn good.  Through the first 12 games last year, he had 7 picks and the one during the 2nd Houston matchup was on a timing route where Engram was clearly and badly held and the announcers were going crazy about the no call.  (There were apparent make up calls in our favor on the following drive, so it appeared the refs knew they [BLEEP] up) Trevor was then injured in the 12th game against Cincy with a high ankle sprain.  He played 4 more games after that and threw another 7 picks in those 4 games and had 3 fumbles in the final 3 games. Do you think the high ankle sprain might have affected his movement and throws? Because statistically it looks pretty clear that it did. Completion percentage took a dive as well.

With proper context, there's no "getting on him for all the picks" because over the past 2 years when healthy he's been damn good about not throwing them and even the fumbles probably aren't as big of a deal as it flippantly gets made out to be.

I'm pretty close to 100% certain that the offseason discussions would be drastically different if that high ankle sprain never happened.
