Right now the team has a contact that makes us tied to him.  My only hope is we get a Coordinator in here that can really work with him and fix his game.  Doug was suppose to be a Qb whisperer so i do no know if he can be fixed.  Right now all we can do is put on the seat belt and get ready for the ride.   I am not alone with my view of Trevor Lawrence. Most of the NFL's talking heads would not call Lawrence good let alone elite.  The only thing that will shut me up is his play on the field and  he starts playing like the #1 pick.  Some will just make excuses no matter how bad his play is.   There is no point of keep discussing it because nothing is going to change until the next season.

The crazy thing is this thread started by what the Jaguar Great Leon Searcy said and naturally the Trevor Lawrence defense force hopped down my throat.  I would trust Searcy's opinion who played in the NFL at a high level than anyone's on this message board.

?!?!?!

I think you're right, the division WAS awful and we missed a golden opportunity to take advantage. How many games did we start out down 2 scores before we even crossed midfield? How many times did we call boneheaded plays at the absolute worst times? How many times did the D force a turnover and put us in prime position to shift momentum our way?

There's a reason the coach got fired. Shad realized the exact same thing you did, and there's no explaining why we did the miserable things we did when we did them. The team failed to use the talent we had in a way to capitalize on a weak division. We repeatedly put our team in position to fail and had no answer when teams found ways to whoop our hides.

Kyler Murray is a #1 pick. Bryce Young is a #1 pick. Maybe you are expecting too much of one person? Do you think Mahomes would thrive in what we purported to be an offense last season? Burrow? who?

Williams and Daniels show us this year a perfect example of how the situation you’re dropped into is just as important to, if not more important then the QBs raw talent and potential. 

Trevor got dropped into Urban. Arguably worst then what Williams was too. So a whole year wasted. Add in the dysfunction after 2022 plus the injuries, and a front office that literally would not go heavy on the big guys….yikes
