Some of you are cult like in your love for Lawrence.

....or some of us have the persepective to understand it's not entirely on him, nor should it be, but too often the team is putting it entirely on him.

Answer this. What other QB in his exact same position is thriving or would thrive? How many of the QB you put on a pedestal fail at the exact same things you are expecting Trevor to excel in?

If your argument is that he's overpaid, you're destined to a life cheering for the Minshews and Daltons of the league - sure, they're more affordable, but dang if you don't get what you pay for, and dang if none of them would be able to manage to keep this team as competitive as they are considering the surrounding cast.

How bad would we be with this D and a Daniel Jones? Cripes.

Hines-Allen could play the next 5 seasons with this same defense and probably wouldn’t get 20 sacks combining all 5 years. No matter what happens in the draft or free agency, the Jaguars have to do something at CB and/or Safety. Jones is a nickel. Brown is a backup, Johnson has had a rough year, and Cisco can’t keep up when the defense calls for man vs man. Either change the personnel or change the scheme but something has to be done. As of right now, I don’t think Cisco has a spot next year.

Word on the street is the Jaguars are still looking for a quality DT which would fix all 3 levels quicker than anything. Armstead is a joke.

...considering that we not only tossed FA money at the spot, but also two high picks, that's damning for a GM.
