dave mcbride Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 There is good drill-down info in this piece about why he hasn’t elevated his game yet three years in: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5524835/2024/05/29/trevor-lawrence-contract-jaguars-doug-pederson/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 He has reached his peak. They just got him all the WR they possibly could. So this year will be telling. For some reason they have given us issues. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 He was dealing with injuries this past year. He was penalized for being tough. This is the year to judge him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills!Win! Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Lawrence seems like the Philip Rivers type. Will never win anything significant but will stick around as a starter until he’s 39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I said at the time of the draft I thought Fields would end up having a better career. So far that has not come true but Fields has had far worse supporting cast and far worse coaching. He may yet still end up having a better career. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Agree with Mueller's analysis. Which makes last year's game in London even more frustrating (and I was there). Lawrence was never moved off of his script/clock by McD's defense in that game - he was allowed to stay in his rhythm and throw to spots on time. Super frustrating because if you can eliminate his easy reads he struggles. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaQuan & Milano going down early in that game may have had something to do with it 😭 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL's career was started with Urban Meyer and then he was fired mid-season. That is a VERY tough way to start a career. In his first year with Pedersen he showed a ton of growth and then dealt with injuries last year. Fields had the same head coach his entire tenure with Chicago. I think he had the same OC, as well.

Terrible travel plan. Terrible game plan. Terrible injury luck. Jax missed 1 tackle. Buffalo missed 18 per Pro football reference. Buffalo had 4 drops to their 2. Just everything about this game was letting it all slip through your fingers in some capacity. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeFrommStateFarm Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I think he lost a year with Urban Meyer, but yes the clock is ticking on him. I thought the Jags were in first place in their division late in the season until Lawrence got hurt. Then they lost several games in a row missing the playoffs.

Alphadawg7 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Lawrence just isn't as good as what people thought he would be. He was the most hyped prospect since Luck (also overrated but at least played some seasons at a high level). Trevor is a mediocre starting QB at this stage whose best season is on par with Derek Carr's meh season for the Saints last year. Heck he hasn't even proved he can be as good as Carr was during Carr's better seasons. But you know his agents are going to try and leverage as much of the "potential" hype from his draft to still pursue top end money. Now, this is his 4th season, he still has a chance to put it all together and finally breakout to closer to what was expected of him coming out of college. But, if it is more of the same, then I think Jags would be foolish to pay him a big deal and should instead look to trade him to a QB desperate team that thinks they can get more out of him (like maybe the Jets who I could see being dumb enough to do so given Rodgers is likely gone after this season). 6 hours ago, Bills!Win! said: Lawrence seems like the Philip Rivers type.
