The thing that I'm wondering is why he can't take snaps under center...

Is he stupid?

NFL teams run more shotgun every single year for the past several years. 
The number has risen across the board from 66% in 2021 to 72% in 2023. 

Jags ran shotgun at a rate of 74.96% in 2022 when you think they ran a "different offense." 
(they didn't) 

Before I find you the 2023 number - what do you think it will be?

Piggybacking on this - the Jags fanbase is all abuzz with "stop running out of shotgun on 3rd and short!!!!" 

What if I told you the NFL since 2021 has run on 3rd or 4th and short out of shotgun MORE than they have from under center? 

Yep.

It's true. 55% of those 4000 plus attempts were run league wide from shotgun. 

The success rate from under center has been 69.9% 
The success rate from shotgun has been 61% - but they keep on doing it. 

The Jaguars 3rd and 4th down short yardage conversion rate has been the sixth worst in the league from August 2021 to November 2023 when the study took place. 

Just get this team an interior line and stop worrying about this stuff. An 8% success rate difference between under center and shotgun runs is not going to cripple an offense, but total dysfunction at Center and Left Guard definitely will.
