You stated yourself with all those number points that he has to be in the right situation to succeed. The great ones do not need everything to be perfect around them to succeed. Lets cut through all the BS and call it like it is. Trevor Lawrence is a below average player with Elite Player Talent. His career is at a crossroads right now. He either rises to the occasion or he does not. I would not be saying this if he were playing well and the rest of the team is a trainwreck. He is just as bad as a trainwreck as the rest of the team currently. You can't have it both ways. You can't call him "the prince that was promised" meaning he will deliver us a good football team and then say he needs X,Y,Z, 1, 2, 3 to be successful. I have watched the NFL over 30 years and know good QB's when I see them. Lawrence currently is not it. He has the potential but the NFL has a line miles long of PLayers will Lots of talent but never lived up to it. If he starts playing better and showing that potential I will eat my crow and be happy about it. Let me know when that happens.

Really dude? Are you going to ignore the 5 balls a game he should throw better? Listen if you want to drink the koolaid that is your business but don't try to make me drink it. That was one example of many I could show in every game. Remember the INT he almost threw in Miami right to the defender, How about the other in Cleveland? He leads the League in Turnovers since he was drafted. Nuff said! We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

You seem to be conveniently ignoring any good plays he has too. You only show the 1 interception he's had all year, then bring up almost interceptions. Mahomes has 4 this year already. Should we start writing him off?!? You only focus on the negatives of Trevor. This is what most people are trying to point out. He has his good moments and has bad moments and it's about finding a way that helps him have more good and less bad. It's that simple.

Okay, let's focus on the %52.8 completion percentage, the 186.6 yds/gm, and the fact that his offense hasn't scored over 18pts in three games. It's time to take off the kid gloves, he's in his fourth year, signed a huge contract, and has lost his last 8 starts.

This has been a problem since last year. Even when we were going 8-3, anyone watching other NFL teams could tell there was something wrong with this offense... But meh. No big deal. It's an outlier. Imagine having a #1 QB that flashed greatness in 2022, and then watching him slowly decline over the next 2 seasons. Some folks think it's "Meh" and think it's an "Outlier". As though he hasn't been doing these things since 2023... I sure hope Doug gets back to the basics that made this offense successful 2 seasons ago. I have my doubts. But I'm still in hopium mode.

Overthrows are far from his biggest issue. They've become more and more uncommon from him as his career has waned on. "Meh" was in reference to the other poster's criticism of the play as an example of what's wrong. It's a bad example. It's his only INT this year. You should also gain some perspective on how BTJ undercut his route and would have run deeper had he not been cut off by the defender trailing Duvernay. It is made plain for you in this clip. You can see BTJ turn on a shallower angle when Duvernay's cover guy blocks his path. https://twitter.com/TravisDHolmes/status...2223343030 (09-26-2024, 07:42 PM)NYC4jags Wrote:(09-26-2024, 07:24 PM)carp8dm Wrote: LOL. First bolded: I've never said overthrows were Trevors major issue... But nice straw man. You do that alot. Well, actually you use pedantic drivel to usually discredit posters. Second bolded: That's coaching... Sorry my man, but this team is not being coached to be succesful. This is just not good enough. It hasn't been since the start of 2023. I kept harping on it. It's just becoming more and more obvious this year how badly coached we are. Baalke should be fired. The O-Line is bad. But in 2022, we overcame that when the HC has some fire in his belly. Some, to think of a word.... Passion? (09-26-2024, 06:44 PM)JagFan81 Wrote:(09-26-2024, 06:26 PM)OG-JAGFAN Wrote: I'm not asking for "great ones" I will take a good QB. He's not even good. Because the bad overshadows the good. He has a throwing less than 200 yds a game and 2 tds in 3 NFL games this season. The highlight reel is bare. The point I am making is there is too much bad from Lawrence.

Despite the fact he only was good though week 11 that season. I look at his work at a whole and in the present.

Trevor has gotten antsy in the pocket. Trevor is also not trusting what he's seeing on the field. On top of that, Trevor isn't being put in the same position to be successful like he was in 2022. It comes down to this, in my opinion... Either the 2022 season was a complete mirage, or the HC and OC failed to improve Trevor's strengths and have regressed the entire team with their apathy towards doing what was working the prior season. Why didn't we continue to build on the successes of 2022? In 2023, we completely went away from what were were doing in 2022. And now in 2024, we're changing the scheme even more so. I'm sorry, but I'm not a guy that thinks that Trevor Lawrence is the problem. He's the answer. But we need a HC/OC that does things that put's our franchise QB in the best plays. That hasn't happened for the last 20 games.

You're forgetting something very important. An offense that worked in 2022 may not work in 2023 or 2024 simply because other teams figured out its tendencies and tells and can predict what we are going to do before we try to do it. A good offensive coach has to change things up regularly unless his players are good enough to execute even when the D knows what is coming.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

But there are plenty of succesful offenses that continue to run the same game plan/schemes and plays that are successful when they have legit QBs. I think we have a legit QB. I think the problem is that the coaching isn't competent enough to get the best out of that QB. I'd rather dump the HC and bring in someone that can actually be a QB developer than get rid of the #1 overall QB that everyone said was special. And he is special. He made throws against Miami that I don't even think Mahommes can make anymore. But this coaching staff is holding him and the rest of the offense back. But that's just my opinion. I'm no more intelligent on this than the folks that think I'm a moron. I'm just pointing out my thoughts on this situation. This is the TL Franchise thread. I think TL is a Franchise QB. And I'll continue to think that until we get more proof otherwise. At this point, all his flaws have been exacerbated by bad coaching. I think a better coaching staff would revive him back to where he was in 2022. I could be wrong. And if I am, I'll eat my words.

You are entitled to your opinion but I disagree. I believe both is true. The coaching is bad but the Qb is also bad. You saw a small sample in 2022 while I have seen a much larger sample. The coaches cannot coach missed passes, throwing into double coverage, turnover prone, taking stupid sacks, etc etc. As an NFL player players have a personal responsibility to perform on the field. Coaching is an asset for a player and not make or break one. All great players will be great regardless of who the coach is. On the flip side, you cannot make a bad player good. Coaching only takes one so far.

My point is that he used to have a pretty consistent issue with overthrows and that has gotten much better over time. And I'm not going to accept anecdotal citings from a biased tinhorn fan about anything that happened in a game that was rapidly out of hand for anything more than what it is. You get down by 3 scores that fast and [BLEEP] gets pretty desperate.

You've vigorously defended the offensive line moves (or lack thereof). You've vigorously promoted the new defensive coordinator. You've vigorously defended the Head Coach. You've vigorously defended Travis Walker over Aiden Hutchinson. And you've vigorously defended Trevor Lawrence, except now you're dipping your toes in the water. So let's hear your non-biased opinion on Trevor's current 0-8 record, the last 3 in particular. .
