Trevor Lawrence was supposed to be "generational"

Bad QBs get in the playoffs but they are generally on cheap contracts that allows the team to stack talent in other positions to compensate for the bad QB play.

Having a bad QB on a monster contract is a different animal. It’s expected that those expensive QBs offset eating up cap space by carrying the team. When that expensive QB is hindering the team, how can the front office over come that?

It’s not easy.

Browns last year are a good example. And yeah they had Flacco for some of it but still went 5-1 with expensive Watson playing poorly at QB.

Jags will still have draft picks as a way to acquire talent, maybe they should try drafting well.

This is once again my issue with modern sports discourse. It’s a cesspool of hair on fire, kneejerk reaction, everybody sucks.

We can’t be in a league where baker mayfield can be reclaimed, Goff can be reclaimed, Malik Willis can be reclaimed, but Trevor Lawrence is beyond reproach. Like calm the fukk down

He’s not gonna be the next Peyton manning like expected but he’s still a lot more to work with than 50% of the league’s QBs. And it’s WAY too hard to find a suitable replacement—--unless they truly bottom out and can get Shaduer who btw I don’t even think will be that good.

They fukked up by letting Ridley walk. They need a legit WR1 and they may already have that in Brian Thomas he just needs time. Also need Engram back. But overall DC’s are kicking OC’s ass right now the pendulum has swung. Damn near everybody struggling. Wade it out

The grass always greener to new age fans. But ‘It’s cheeper to keep her’ comes in mind. You are FAR better off changing OC/coach instead of trying to find a Qb better than Lawrence.

problem ain't being reclaimed/redeemed, but the price.

again, Owners letting this QB salary shyt get out of control is a big problem. One dude taking up 20%-25% of your cap on a 53 man team where you need the other 52 to win is asinine ESPECIALLY when the high QB price tag is being forced for above average at best dudes.

I know that this won't happen and shouldn't happen since this is the pros but rookie WB's need to sit out a year to really learn the game

QB is the toughest position to play on and off the field. You got a young QB that some vets won't even respect and at the same time some QBs don't have that leadership skill yet.

Then you have QBs that get drafted to a team like the Jets or Giants where the NYC Media will tear them apart once they don't show any promise

So like others have said, no he isn't going to be Payton but he'll, even Sam Darnold is having a redemption year

Ehhhh that excuse doesn't work with Lawrence and the Jags as their issues go back to even last season.

This isn't just a new season thing.
