Is Doug Pederson the Problem?

A look at whether or not Doug Pederson is a problem for the Jaguars #jaguars #nfl #jacksonvillejaguars

[@mr.dolphin8345]

I think my thing currently is this: Trent Baalke has been here since Dave Caldwell. I am by no means defending Doug, but this organization has failed at washing the stink off them for as long as I can remember. We can never move on if Shad keeps holding onto people who don’t produce results.

[@silentgrind34]

Yeah Maybe an unpopular take: Trent Baalke is not the biggest problem Tank Bigsby, Ventrel Miller, Buster Brown, Parker Washington, maybe even Cooper Hodges come into their own and be contributors despite all being day 3 picks. The contracts for Lawrence, JHA, and Engram are great. BTJ is a fucking stud and Mason Smith…the jury is still out Free agency is a good temp effort and though I don’t like this class he’s found some studs in the past like Foye. We all agree the team is underpricing and that harkens back to what Trent said in the offseason…. Coaching.

[@ledgnr197gaming5]

We need to talk about how bad Brandon Scherff is now. Dude has to be replaced.

[@Cizzledaghost]

If you noticed they should have keep everyone the let walk in free agency

[@mattjones1378]

The problem is the Jaguars need hearts of the team back: Dewey Wingard and Rayshawn Jenkins..

[@DreBruh]

man rayshawn is dearly missed

[@tomleeyrc40]

Wingard is on the team, on IR designated to return this season

[@DoNotPassGO]

Doug neglecting to take care of the Press Taylor problem is going to end up becoming a bigger problem than Press Taylor himself

[@leevancleef358]

I agree...that "announcement" before last year immediately set off alarm bells for me - I kid you not. I was like Doug we have not gotten over the hump yet and THIS season is CRITICAL....WHAT is up with this?

[@HDBabey]

I think you are spot on. He glazed up press and just simply says "I think he called a great game" and then immediately blames the players. Like even standard coach speak you should be taking accountability and saying it starts with coaching INCLUDING press but Doug is just in love with him. It's becoming an extremely weird dynamic

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

everything has gone horrible since press Taylor took over play calling last season

[@mr.dolphin8345]

Press called plays in 2022. He did so in the second half of games. This is well documented. I am not defending Press I’m just saying it’s not true.

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

First off there is zero evidence press Taylor called plays on the second half doug never said that once also even if that’s true that means Doug called first half plays and if they scored more points the first half vs Texans browns and dolphins they win you dope so that means Doug should be calling plays

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

If they scored 7 points more the first half vs browns dolphins and Texans they would be 3-1 so thanx for proving the point you dope first had play calling matters they were winning when Doug called the first half you absolute clown

[@mr.dolphin8345]

@@AlexRosner-v8t I’ll try and find where Doug said it early last season and get back to you if I do.

[@DTWD420]

The 4th quarter play calling, not even the plays but just the pass/run decisions, were so significant. I get there are other problems but I honestly boil it down to the 3 and out when the Jags last had the ball on offense. To not run on 2nd or 3rd was wild, run the clock down especially when you were running the ball the whole game.

[@madjag28]

Fire press if that doesn’t work fire Doug but be careful we don’t get urban Meyer 2.0

[@JYopp-d1n]

Urban built most the roster that made the playoff push in reality.. what has Doug done but destroy Trevor’s confidence playing him all hurt last year that’s what started this mess

[@dawnstatis1]

Even when they were winning the offense was never at its peak or clicking on all cylinders

[@danceswithpaperhands6221]

Fire the whole front office. It's rotten from the inside. I think some dude stole a bunch of money? I haven't liked a GM in decades.

[@sauce5343]

Coaches call out players all the time. Sometimes a player needs to be called out. Vernon Davis career turned around after getting called out publicly

[@JYopp-d1n]

But coaches need to be called out when they are overrated like doug

[@bobkenobi1008]

Doug got a SB

[@bobkenobi1008]

That's why we are here.

[@Venom-x7t]

All I know is Shad + Trent should pay for a yr's vacationing and cruising for u, UCF, and Jason for having to witness such shameful football. Baalke is a 🤡 and every day Shad has employed him has been a deleterious mistake on the owner.

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

They would be 3-1 right now if press Taylor didn’t call plays

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

Press Taylor was the Colts top offensive assistant in 2021 when Wentz scored 11 points in a must win game vs the 2-14 jaguars. Trevor is 0-9 his last 9 games with the poison press calling plays wentz went 4-12 in 2020 with press as his qb coach and Passing game coordinator

[@ledgnr197gaming5]

Ok bruh all I ever see you do is comment like a schizoid maniac abt Press. Like yes he is bad but dude chill

[@Cheddarfactory]

Jags failing so miserably so early and being so easy to not root for has been a blessing. For real. Can check all expectations right now and just watch football as a fan for the rest of the year.

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

Jaguars would have won 12 games in 2023 if you replaced the billions of predictable runs and screens that went nowhere that press Taylor called and instead targeted Ridley engram and others more even if you hit 40 percent of the time that’s at least 7 more points per game

[@BEASTB0T]

That was a bad call when they tried to reward bigsby punching it in. like you said he was gassed and they new exactly what was up. he would have gotten it too if sheriff has made his block. The announcers called before the play that lawrence would run on 4th. Also shout out to the defense. Buster Brown played his heart out trying to play above his ceiling. They kept it close even with Stroud being able to hit Collins for 20 yards at will penalties helped too but that defense was great. hopefully Josh Hines-Allen is good to go soon.

[@RonaldWilliams-t3g]

boy calling those coaches that coaches up there teams took me their how lucky they are you're so right.

[@maxfoley1825]

Press Taylor is the problem. I think Trevor dosen't have faith in him.

[@bortlestheboat]

this is such a bad look for jaguars social media…. continuing not to blame the 55 m dollar qb is crazy trevor sucks right now if he plays a little better than the 32nd best qb in the league we’re probably 3-1

[@jccaroline0228]

He might not be the problem (he certainly is apart of the problem) but at this point, he's not the solution either. Time to cut ties. Same with Baalke. Time to scorch earth, and start fresh. You can not waste another year of Trevor's talents (or feed into his regression). Time to bring someone in who believes in Trevor and can bring the best out of him. Even if that means he's not a "Generational Talent" level. Even if it's just top 10-12. We need someone who can bring out the best of Trevor and the talent around him.

[@JYopp-d1n]

I think he’s a big part of the problem but 3 bad coaches in a row makes me lean ownership… Doug did ruin Trevor’s confidence playing him hurt last season and now we are seeing the results..

[@johnmitchell452]

Jordan, you described it perfectly when you spoke about the Miami game, Doug Pederson was throwing a tantrum, taking the ball away from Trevor. Same in the game on Sunday. Play back what was said when he was interviewed. He was just like someone who didn't like the fact his all-star QB had been paid and he's behaving like a spoilt child. I don't know Doug's history as a QB but I'm guessing he never had the same breaks as Trevor?

[@bortlestheboat]

i don’t mind trying to reward tank for the long run… we ran the same exact play twice when it didn’t work

[@904TallerTim]

Trent Baalke sucks overall but if everyone is underperforming then that's a coaching problem. This team isn't talented enough to win anything besides 1 playoff game even if everyone performed to their highest levels but everyone is underperforming so I look at coaching and culture.

[@goddk9239]

Bro how much more support does he need for yall to say yeah Trevor is the problem yall should have won that game don’t put this loss on the coaching when Trevor touches the ball every play 2 wide open throws he misses he can’t get it in on the 1 yard line and flat out spinning into sacks/pressure come on with this nonsense ya boy is the problem the team goes as Trevor goes and he’s just not it

[@Alligator-qj4cv]

I completely agree Trevor failed us in this game. In other games I strongly believe the coaching sucks but, this one is completely on Trevor no doubt about it

[@wayman1776]

It’s the offensive line and players not being aggressive like the Ravens or Chiefs. The offensive coordinator needs to go to the college level a few years and bring a new offensive coordinator in to this team. I also think all coaches need to be more involved with the draft not just Trent and Doug..The OC and DC need to be very much more involved than just letting the other two make the picks?

[@joshuafarnsworth9160]

At this rate the team will draft #2 overall, at 3 wins, with a brand new front office

[@FrederickCobb]

Offensive line, defensive coordinator is the president

[@bortlestheboat]

baalke sucks at acquiring talent… plain and simple o line sucks cbs suck lbs suck besides foye ( ventrill looks good ) travon is not close to aiden signing campbell was a huge mistake hes always injured cisco looks bad

[@macgobhann8712]

True but if you can't coach and develop it doesn't matter who you draft.

[@donaldmurray827]

I saw the Trevor one and why are people so soft towards him. Face it he sucks right now just admit it. Not saying he is a bad QB overall but for the love of god jags made the biggest comeback against SD and then almost beat the super bowl champs the next game. Come back the next year and just need to win one more game and clinch the playoffs. With basically THE SAME PEOPLE! The coaching sucks for sure but don't act like they are not coaching trevor better. I agree new coaches for sure for many reasons but Trevor has been here. Maybe psych post injury like many QB. If you watched the games and he is was throwing the ball 3/4 good of Sam Darnold and you were truly honest the team would be 2-2. Texans and Cleveland.

[@macgobhann8712]

No one is saying he's playing fine. People are just trying to calm down the "BLOW IT UP" crowd that is calling him a bust and wants a complete restart and rebuild because of a bad start to a season for him.

[@geokersey]

There's a lot into it, but Trevor Lawrence is the biggest problem right now

[@joshuafarnsworth9160]

Doug should have been gone at the end of 2023. Plain and simple, gone

[@Ydoc1000]

Nailed it

[@DaGoon717]

You’ve been pushing this “don’t blame the players” narrative on twitter and now on KZbin. I’m a fan of yours, but you have to stop. Did Doug Pederson fumble the ball at the 1 yard line week 1? Did Doug Pederson get an illegal shift penalty to take a TD off the board in week 1? Did Doug Pederson miss a FG week 1? Is Doug making Lawrence miss open receivers? Is he making Brandon Scherff whiff on blocks? What he said was accurate and at some point the players need to be held accountable for their performance. Is he partially to blame? Obviously. But the players hold the majority of the blane here.

[@Amcbiggs]

I was thinking the same thing with Darnold and these other guys. The game shouldn’t hinge on one or two missed throws from Trevor. (It certainly can in the grand scheme of things but) Didn’t love throw 3 picks and 4 tds? That’s a lot of opportunities AND errors. More than tlaw. But they almost came back and won. So if tlaw only gets a couple chances here and there, he better hit or it’s all his fault apparently. But the play calling is what actually put him in this anti-rhythm. We could reasonably win the next 3… but if we do it with the same play calling, Trevor has to ‘execute’ perfectly. And no one is perfect. Very little wiggle room with our schemes and inability to adapt on the fly. If Doug defended his players and behind closed doors let qb1 know we got work to do, he’ll get respect from the qb. Public shaming hasn’t ever been a successful strategy

[@lucacavasin9885]

The play calling simply just doesn’t work to our players strengths. We got to 1st and goal at the 4yrd line and we ran two hb draws with a rb that just ran 50+ yards behind an online that struggles with short yardage. Why not a toss to etienne get him in space like he is good at and same with our o line get them in space Why not a quick out or flat route to Kirk or btj like Lawrence is good at throwing and they r good at running Why not try the qb draw on second down just doesn’t make sense to me they make nothing easy for the offense

[@adamvalenzuela-bq1ld]

Yea that’s an obvious stupid decision it’s like they’re trying to lose for some internal conflict hmm

Doug Pederson is taking no accountability for all these losses while he's the head coach of this team. While are offense SUCKS horribly bad and he's saying Taylor is calling a great game. Doug is absolutely one of the main problems for Jacksonville right now.

[@derklavierspieler7491]

Doug won a super bowl. Haha. No, his back-up QB won that super bowl then went on to be a nobody. Did Doug get them to the SB? Maybe but I credit the QB, whose name I forgot. What else has Doug accomplished? He DID get a huge contract to coach the Jags and has repaid them by being a loser and hiring losers as coaches. What sterling accomplishments has Press Taylor accomplished in his career? I'll wait.
