Is this post of yours from November 14 water under the bridge too, or nah? 

Quote:Regardless of his potential he is easily one of if not the worst starting Qb right now.  His receivers share some responsibility but the majority of his struggles are on him. 

If3 the majority of Lawrence's struggles in 2021 were mostly his fault as you've stated, why would you be excited to see what different coaching and personnel will do for him?  He's the one that screwed up his opportunities, right?

Can't speak for Jaguar MVP but can for myself. Trevor Lawrence had an absolutely terrible season. Why?
Inaccuracy
Bad Decisions
Bad OL Protection
Bad WRs
Bad Coaching

So you're asking why somebody can say the player in question had a bad year/struggled but also asking why changes might help? Let's look at the 2019 NE Patriots.
Tom Brady, whom is the greatest QB in NFL history, had a bad year (for him) due to an extreme lack in talent around him. While he had arguably a comparable offense to the jaguars 2021 team in terms of offensive play makers, Tom Brady was able to still put up a respectable 24 TD 8 INT with 4,000 yards and a playoff berth. 

Fast forward to 2020, Brady is now a Buccaneer, with a multitude of weapons he was able to bolster his numbers. adding 600 passing yards to his 2019 total, 40 total TDs and 12 INTs. Notice how a guy who knows what he's doing, has a less productive year when having no weapons, but was still able to limit his mistakes and win games. 

Trevor Lawrence is coming off a terrible rookie year, blame who you want, blame it on inexperience, blame it on Urban is dosen't matter. For me, I'm optimistic that he will be better with time but I'm not ignorant or biased enough to sit here and tell you what I saw in 2021 was enough to give me hope. The small glimer of hope for me, comes from the fact that there was no coach, no talent and no culture. 

We will see this year, if he's the guy or not. It does not take 3-4 years. What we need to see this year is just improvement, it needs to be significant.. now that dosen't mean he has to throw for 5,000 yards and have 50 TDs, but show me you can lower your turnovers and be productive at scoring points. 

If (and I doubt it) but if, he has a comparable stat line in year 2 to year 1.. it's over for him.
