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 protecting the football.

Again, need to get off the stat sheet and do some actual analysis. 4 of those lost fumbles were in a tropical depression. How many more were strip-sacks due to our porous line? Everyone remembers the horrible fumble against the bungles where the ball just slipped out, but that was far from the norm as far as his game goes. I'd venture that the vast majority of his lost fumbles are the ones where he's pummeled by an unblocked rusher and had no chance to recover.

Some perspective....Trevor has never had more than 12 fumbles in a season. Among active QBs, Fields had 16 in '22, D. Jones had 19 in '19, Dak had 14 in 2021. Tua had 13 last year, Lamar had 11. in 2022, Josh Allen had 13. In 2021, the statuesque Kork Coupins had 12.

Maybe he's average? These are fumbles, mind you, and not lost fumbles, but seems to me at the very least that it's not like he is putting the ball on the ground any more frequently than a number of the top QB out there.
