Everyone shares in the blame from the front office on down. If I had to place them in order, however,it would go like this:

1. Baalke and his staff: When you have a quarterback with the abilities of Lawrence, you priortize giving him the best possible offensive line possible. Adding Mitch Morse was helpful, but nearly not enough. They could have signed Kevin Dotson, Robert Hunt or Damien Lewis in free agency and drafted Graham Barton in round 1 and Zack Frazier in round 2. BTJ looks great, but Lawrence has no time to find him. Maason Smith wasn't even active today and Frazier is already starting for the Steelers. Unless things change, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lawrence accumulate injuries again this season.

2. Coaching: Doug Pederson has been extremely disappointing despite the 2022 playoff run. The play-calling has been poor and his pattern of defending Press Taylor is growing old. Ryan Neilson seems to be an upgrade, however.

3. Poor player execution: Lawrence,Kirk, Harrison, Robinson have all been disappointing so far and lead the group of underachievers.


While it's too early to give up on this season, the Jaguars must get at least a split of the next 2 road games or their playoff hopes will be gone.
