2. Trevor's tape has plenty of great examples of him scanning the entire field, looking off safeties and alerting receivers to hot routes etc. - Even if he was also showing the bad habits I described at other times.

  -- My point  (that you are mostly missing whilst focused on trying to take a false victory lap) is that this stuff changed for the worse after the 2022 season when the Jags offensive braintrust decided to alter course with how they tasked him to read the field. Instead of trying to develop the good stuff he was putting on tape, they focused on mitigating the mistakes. 
 
I think that's where Pederson screwed up. 

Mitigating mistakes is how you handle a QB like Blake Bortles, Case Keenum or David Mills.
Developing talent is how you handle a QB like CJ Stroud or Trevor Lawrence. 

And yes, I have watched more tape since that post - and I do think Trevor shows these bad habits more frequently than I thought he did a year ago. 
But having watched the all22 route running from 2023 and 2024 - it's pretty clear to me that the staff handcuffed him instead of growing him.

"1. I thought of you when I posted that and expected a response because I recall that convo because you gave me this idea" FIFY  

Another possibility is that Doug made that simplification during the 2022 bye week.  Turning a 3-7 team into a team that went 6-1.  This fits in my original theory that "If Pederson has to continually simplify the offense to fit Trevor Lawrence's skill set (or lack there of) he may get some increases in production, but for a short time."

Like I said, we won't know until we see Trevor under another offensive coaching staff.
