In theory that makes sense, but what is "proving it"? Let's say they choose not to extend Lawrence. He leaves. Who takes over that is an improvement? Either they get super lucky in the draft (not likely) or find a discarded free agent from someone else's unwanted list? The other risk is Lawrence goes to a team that isn't a joke (because Jacksonville is a joke) and suddenly plays lights out because he's got a good coach & org around him.

[@calvinware7957]

Here is the thing: if you are a franchise and you look at your quarterback and go "he isn't worth the money" then your franchise doesn't have a quarterback. I don't mean the guy will leave in free agency, he will, and someone else will pay him; I mean that you don't have the guy to lead your franchise on your roster and you will need to go find that guy. You're gonna have to take a swing on another guy in the draft who may or may not work out. You will have to start trading pieces to get draft capital to move and get the guy you think can be the franchise guy or just get rid of the players on roster who are upset suddenly they aren't apart of a competitive organization trying to win anymore. What do you do if you have a coach too? LIke look at the dolphins for example do you think if they decided not to pay tua, and they were going to start trading away talent to get the cap low and to get draft picks for a rebuild do you think a coach like Mike Mcdaniel would want to stick around for that? Put supbar preformances up with a weak roster? in fact having that coach might impeede your ability to tank for a draft pick to get your quarterback. No its too messy to not pay the guys. Especially when another team will for sure pay a dude a fully gaurnteed contract to steal away the qb.

The Panthers were the last place team last year. The Panthers beat the Raiders. The Raiders beat the Ravens. The Ravens beat the Cowboys. The Cowboys beat the Browns. The Browns beat the Jaguars. All this was a really long way of saying, the Jaguars are the de facto worst team this year so far.

Trev hasnt been good, but as much as "Doug knows ball" he has a blind spot for Press Taylor. He was his downfall in Philly and his refusal to move away from him is about to cost him another job.

[@Black4Cook]

Why is every one blaming Press Taylor? I am sick of it. Doug was calling plays the past 2 games. Doug is an offensive HC who game plans with the OC and they are unable to script plays at the beginning of the game which dont result in a 3 and out. Doug did fire all defensive coaches but decided to keep the offensive coaches (jax fans know that the defense was the reason the jags went 8-3 in the first place because the offense was bad then already) Do i think that Press Taylor is a good OC? No but he is not the reason the jaguars stay there with a terrible o-line, he is also not the reason the jags receivers dropping the most balls in the entire NFL, he also doesn't make the call to go for it on the own 30 yeard line on 4th down, and he also doesn't miss open receivers. You can blame the play calling but last year the jags offense was so bad that there was almost no other way than to call some crack toss and screen plays because that was the only thing which didn't result in a sack or a tackle for -2 yards loss.

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

karenhardie1132:. He has been that same way from high school through the NFL. He's not big in showing outward emotions but I can guarantee you he is smoldering inside. You can't make a guy be who he is not. I'll tell you a story about Trevor. My nephew and Trevor were classemates in middle and high school. My nephew played basketball with Trevor in middle school. While he was in middle school I kept hearing about this hotshot qb and that he would be big time in high school. I paid that no attention because the high school already had a qb in waiting and I said that maybe this kid (Trevor) would take over after he left. It didn't take that long. Trevor took over the starting position two or three games in of his freshman year. I thought he got the spot too soon but boy was I wrong. He took the team to the playoffs to face the mighty Buford Wolves. They didn't fare too well against Buford and Trevor got beat up pretty good in that game but he still stood in there and delivered the ball while being pummeled. That is the point that he won me over. This is when they started saying he might be the best qb in the state as a freshman. Anyway here is the story I was really getting at. A week or two after that game my nephew asked if I would take him to his freshman basketball game and I said I would. This game was in the next county. My nephew went to their locker room and I went into the gym and got a seat and waited for the start of the game. A little while later I see my nephew and a couple of his teammates come into the gym. As they came in they were taking off their warm up shooting shirts and threw them at this kid sitting below me and told him to take care of our shirts. The kid said "y'all got jokes" and he started to retrieve the shirts and sat back down. All I noticed about the kid was that he had long blond hair. Later on when I was driving my nephew home I thought that kid who they threw their shirts at look a little familiar. I asked my nephew and he said yes that was Trevor. He was so laid back and unassuming exactly the opposite of how you would think a Big Man of Campus would act after almost taking his team to the state championship. He sat there watching the game by himself. That's who he has always been. To me I see the same guy during those Jaguars after game press conferences that I saw that day.

I've been posting this for a few years now - Before the 2021 Draft I thought the Jaguars should trade that #1 pick away for a king's ransom of draft picks and build around Gardner Minshew. Even if you don't think Minshew is any better than Lawrence, they at least could have several more good players moving forward. Doubt Minshew would've commanded a $50+ million extension too....

[@trogdor20X6]

The buzz is so bad this video, please fix

[@Regantdarcy]

Trevor Lawrence showed flashes of real brilliance the first year & a half before getting injured. To say he’s in a slump this year so far would be an understatement. 🤨 Whatever has shaken his confidence needs to be corrected. I think he’ll get his act together. I’m sure he will. But negativity is a slippery slope. Things could get worse before they get better.

[@ope314]

This one hurt

[@blakebortles6098]

mf makes 55 mill per cant feel too hurt lol lol

[@EsotericSyncretism]

I don’t know why Trevor has been impervious to criticism until now. His expectations were higher than any other qb in the draft and he looks like a complete bust compared to what he was hyped to be

[@beaujac311]

A whole lot of pressure comes with those expectations. I still believe in Trevor because I've watched his whole career since taking his high school team to the playoffs during his freshman season. He played his high school football at one of the more storied programs in the football crazy state of Georgia. He went to the playoffs all four seasons and won two championships. He went to Clemson with all those expectations and won the National Championship during his freshman season. So he is used to expectations being so high. I still believe once he is in a comfortable place he will again rise to the occasion.

[@crackheadjoedirt]

NFL needs to implement some sort of max contract cap like the NBA does.

[@Intimigator]

The two biggest problems for the team unfortunately were ignored last offseason. They didn't replace Press Taylor as offensive coordinator, when he clearly deserved to be fired after last year's collapse. And aside from signing Mitch Morse at Center, the Jaguars did nothing to improve an O-line that couldn't open any running lanes or keep Trevor Lawrence upright in the pocket for 3 seconds. Pederson should immediately be taking over play calling duties, but now I fear that won't even be enough to salvage this season.

[@904productions_]

Its the coaching and GM. I want you to go look at the starting CB and think to yourself. Why haven’t we gotten anybody else?

[@shawnstarks1743]

This is what happens when you draft for “Image” and catering to a certain demographic. Daniel Jones of NY Giants same situation. SOB looks like “Wall Street.” So they paid him on his image. Some organizations are worried about “the face, the look of the leader.

[@zay57]

I never bought into the Tevor Lawrence hype, I'm an Alabama fan and when Clemson beat us in the National Championship and everyone was throwing praise on how great he was because the final score got away, I was saying it was really his Receivers that night dominating the Bama secondary, and Bama's QB being injured.

[@EulogizingSleep]

Coaches who wear visors never last. Gruden, McDaniels, pederson etc

[@joepic85]

Bills are fucking teams up so bad. the last 2 games you got the Dolphins and Jags both questioning their coaches and QBs

[@vileproductions8511]

trevor lawrence is a perfect example of why the players have to PROVE it consistently .. lawrence was always up and down and the jags fans were always torn on him .. Gave him the bag now you’re locked into it

[@HotdogJuice]

Apparently, football is not Trevor's favorite thing to do... it shows.

[@frissonic]

"... no one's gonna feel sorry for us..." So, my wife told me during the game yesterday that she feels bad for the Jags. Doug, you have ONE person who feels sorry for y'all. One person.

[@hazeleyedsoul3282]

😂😂😂

[@ElectronFieldPulse]

I don’t know man, I am starting to feel bad for them. The fans at least, that has to suck

[@WilliamSmith-ps7uw]

Lot of microphone feedback lately

[@heberhernandez2879]

Ever since week 2 against the Texans his rookie year (I don’t watch much college football games) I told my friends Trevor ain’t worth it. He has bad footwork and he seems panic when they keep blitzing him. Present day I still see the same thing. Wonder why QB coach don’t fix this

[@iancarrey4123]

One day I want to be as good at my job as Tua, Dak, Kirk and Trevor and be compensated accordingly.

[@Jm-Gonz]

Definitely needs to be a salary cap at the quarterback position No player should be worth more than 7% of total team annual salary

[@codystorms7169]

theres a difference between AR struggling and TLaw struggling, ones a 22 year old project and there other is one of the highest paid QBs

[@jasondouglas152]

Start calling him T.L. Hopper

[@mistertaz94]

That 2021 QB class is just straight up cursed. I don't know why or how, but it's the ONLY explanation for how many QBs from 21 have flamed out

[@DB-yp6vm]

Finally someone in media calling out urban liar 👍

[@tealcat9237]

Fire Press Taylor to start please. A lot of it was on Trev but i've seen so many throws hit receivers in the hands and they dont grab the ball as well. Its obvious something with the coaches and the players isnt clicking together, it looks like the locker room has been lost.

[@beelor5777]

GENERATIONAL TALENT TREVOR LAWRENCE

[@erock81487]

Not taking OL in the draft was not a good decision. Some of it is on TL, but he has no time to throw right now. Not to mention the OC/play calling issues.

[@BryanFrench]

Lets talk about the real problem, the Oline. Defense in Trevor's lap the entire game

[@alonsoarambula356]

It wasn't when he had a clean pocket and BTJ wide open and sailed it straight to the safety. Dude is a bust he a joke.

[@BryanFrench]

@@alonsoarambula356 I believe we ruined Trevor like we ruined every other 1st round QB in the last 15 years. Never protected them and they start seeing ghosts in the pocket when no one is around them.

[@calebmartinez7460]

When are yall gonna look with your eyes and see that Trevor is CHEEKS? A "generational talent" playing like a journeyman who just arrived that week. He's missing EASY throws. Like elementary throws that any pro QB who is worth a roster spot can make. He's regressed so significantly it's actually crazy to see.

[@alonsoarambula356]

@BryanFrench he makes rookie mistakes still staring down guys throwing into double coverage. He said there are more important things other than football during his draft interviews. His dad said he could walk away and not think twice before the draft. The red flag were there. He looks at it like a job. Not a career. Mahomes,Allen,lamar,Joe every qb wants to be the best and trevor just doesn't care. We people tell you who they are Believe them.

[@dml5121]

7:04 YES. Thank you! Finally a show brings this up lol. Once the players have the bag, the don’t even try (my opinion) or lose all competitive drive

[@MRDY4322]

I’ve been a Trevor Lawrence defender but it’s time he steps up and plays like the QB he should be. He’s not their only problem but the QB is such a difference maker. Just look how much better Carolina played as a whole last week once they got some inspiring QB play from Dalton. It’s year 4 now and Lawrence is getting paid like a top 5 quarterback and he’s not even giving them top 16 production

[@TheKindredblades]

Sometime I think Rich love these high draft QB picks too much. Being taken in the top 3 doesn't mean that you're good.

[@bryantreese6060]

I hate Ryan Neilson he's messed out defense up. His scheme is substitution based his words keeps players fresher . Foye has been leading in tackles the past couple years Josh led sacks last year they shouldn't come off the field unless they're exhausted

[@rayglizzy]

Factzzzz

[@SkyHiltribe]

I feeel bad for the Jags. They've got such a humble QB and a good coach but for whatever reason, they just can't seem to win games.

[@stevefowler2112]

Could Trevor possibly be a Coach Killer? Had Trevor played like Marino as a rookie, Urban Myer may still be their coach and being hailed as a genius.

[@mikethomas860]

Trevor was a can't miss selection coming out of college. He has loss all confidence. Once you lose your confidence the most basic throws become difficult.

[@OnlyGamingClips]

The Jags coach needs to help Lawrence get some confidence back and start leaning on the run, and take some pressure off the kid, so he can build some confidence.

[@delbeem1211]

1. This is why qb contracts of late are problematic. We have 2-3 tiers of pay that ate just empty rn. You have the tier at 50+ and the quality backups/rookies at 10. Nothing really in-between. Some guys are starters but not 50m starters. 2. They collapsed the second they vandalized the Terrible Towel last year. I'm not one for believing in curses but every time a teams done that in my lifetime they've become a dumpster fire til they make it right.

[@marshall881]

I flew up to Buffalo from Jax to watch the game. I met a lot of really cool Buffaloians. I also hate my team.

[@DoNotGetMeWrong]

I love Doug too. But his play design, lack of motions, and misses while investing in OL/DL has directly resulted in the current state of the Jags

[@jwynter5857]

That is Press Taylor. He is the offensive coordinator. He makes the game plan, he calls the plays and he designs the plays. That's what offensive coordinator's do. When the Head coach does that then the offensive coordinator's don't get looked at for jobs i.e. Byron Leftwich and Eric Bieniemy. That's why Doug is always downplaying the "who is calling the plays" questions. But Doug is definitely to blame for the team's failure.

[@benwest1839]

Maybe Shad should let his nepobaby coach the team, too. Hell, let him play quarterback.
