Does he even have a chance of developing as long as Meyer is in charge? What do the Jags need to do to help Lawrence? Trevor is going to be just fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he even have a chance of developing as long as Meyer is in charge? What do the Jags need to do to help Lawrence? They need to get him some decent weapons. He is missing his #1 receiver (D.J. Chark), and his #1 running back (Travis Etienne). The #2 running back (James Robinson) has been hobbled by injuries the last couple of weeks too, although he did play, and he missed a couple of games before that. The remaining receivers aren't getting much separation, and they are also dropping a lot of passes. Trevor is in a situation where pretty much any quarterback is going to have struggles. This team went 1-15 last year, and they are just not very good. It's going to take a little while to rebuild and get some better players on the roster. As far as Trevor is concerned, I'm not worried about him. He is doing about as well as can be expected under the circumstances. He's going to be one of the league's great QBs in 2-3 years.

I think he will break through next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not technically, but Urban had big hopes for finding a lot of ways to get him involved in the offense. His presence would be a definite help to Trevor. Had he not gotten injured, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was the #1 RB by now. James Robinson is also a very good player, but Etienne is just a more dynamic athlete, IMO.

He was not drafted to be a running back. I also don’t see how you think he’d be RB1 by now even if you believed that he was drafted to be just that. James Robinson has been one of the most efficient rushers in football prior to the last couple weeks of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt that James would still be getting his share of carries either way. I agree with you on drafting him for the "Percy" role. Probably a better way for me to have described it would have been to say that Etienne would have played a big role in helping Trevor to make this is a more dynamic offense than it currently is. We took him with a first round pick, so we must have had some big plans for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how one of those highlights is Trevor throwing it about 5 feet over his receivers hands and out of bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not sure I’d use that as an example in said highlight. But still, those were from a single game. This is happening every week. He has had his rookie moments but his “box score issues” have more to do with what’s around him than Trevor himself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Jags should be OVERLY concerned.... but at the same time, by all metrics this has to be far below the baseline expectation, let alone the actual hopes that the fans had going into this He's not broken, and there's tons of time to turn it around by putting in more pieces around him.. But I don't think there's much of an argument for the Jags fans to be feeling GOOD about what's happened with him so far and where it's going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
