why doesn’t anybody see that trevor was literally injured the whole season, he shouldn’t have played in a lot of those games

[@yadaaday6477]

Exactly 💯💯

[@leroyvereen1823]

Trevor injuries don't have anything to do with his decision-making or ball protection. He has to do a hell of a lot better this off-season. I'm a die-hard jags fan & I hope for our sake It works out.

[@123shoshan]

The guy has a career 85 qb rating he’s average

[@michaelwalker1473]

everyone is playing through something. last year we hurt patrick mahomes in the playoiffs and he still won SB MVP.

[@slick10k]

If Trevor is flexible, they should work out a conservative deal with him so that other resources can be used to surround him with the squad he needs. Once we give Trevor the roster he deserves, then we move into the big money down the line. I also wonder how his BTC wallet is looking these days 😁

[@jacoblang6492]

Facts bro

[@jamesgraham4476]

No he needs to play better….his last 4 starts was awful and even before then he never took the leap we expected. I wouldn’t wreck the salary cap extending an average QB who hasn’t progressed…YET.

[@thebrettjames1]

It’s a valid statement but if we all agree that he is the franchise QB then you may as well pay him now before having to pay him more down the road. He will Be bettter

[@masonmason5153]

@@thebrettjames1 I think that's the problem though. We don't all agree that he is the guaranteed franchise quarterback. Why should it be guaranteed he's the franchise quarterback? He hasn't played well enough to cement himself as that guy yet. If he has another mediocre season again this year, you're telling me you want to give him a 5+ year contract?

[@joshuafarnsworth9160]

No. Simple answer. If he wants help around him, that cap space will need to be paid out to other players

[@Kharmatos13]

I don't trust Balke with drafting and team building but if he can get Trevor a gangster O-line and a better WR core he'll explode. So is it a matter of paying him 60 mill a year after he does or sign him now for 40 a year. Think a 400 mill for 10 fully guaranteed kind of thing.

[@123shoshan]

Wow give any average qb a gangster oline and better weapons and they will do well don’t extend Trevor he’s not it

[@Boskibro]

Wanting a 10 year deal with Trevor is INSANE

[@justinhusk2528]

No, do not pay him until he proves himself. One more year, make it or break it!

[@dagroovyone870]

For all 3 years I have been begging for him to learn to not over throw short routes and needs to works on the fumbles. The fumbles could be helped by a better OL.

[@whocares146]

Absolutely not.. figure out what to do with cam, Calvin and Josh first and foremost.

Trevor Lawrence should not get paid especially since he’s been getting injured it damaged goods can’t overlook those injuries. He’s also played sub par all year the stats speak for themselves make him earn his deal not just had it out because he’s a “generational talent” when he’s shown me otherwise he’s not

[@TruthNationUncensored]

Absolutely they should!!!

[@PikaaaaCHUUUU]

He'll no. Maybe he was hurt. Maybe he just sucked. We need another year to find out

[@MrIcognegro]

Simple answer to a complex question is no. Accept the 5th year option and tag on the 6th. If we have to pay him a truck load after that fine. Also draft another qb to sit for a while. Look at the most successful teams and see what they are doing. We needed to make moves around the trade deadline and did nothing. We needed to sit TLaw and let him heal up but no. I have hope though.

[@showme989]

What do you replace a “generational talent” with? The team is not up to par with what a successful team should be. Until you have that there is no quarterback that will be successful here. Trevor has shown that he can be the guy. The team has yet to invest a heavy load into the offense. They need more!!!

[@123shoshan]

Stop he hasn’t shown anything

[@farfromperfek]

On Trevor I agree 100% yes, this year will be cheaper than next. We are not going to let him walk. When he has a breakout year his price tag will soar. If the idiot aka Baalke signed Josh Allen last year he would have saved money. I would say 5 years at 53m. I can see Trevor will be Maholmes and keep restructuring the deal to help the team.

even though i dont agree with paying trev now cuz his tape is nothing consistent to look at, everyone entitled to their opinion. but you said reward trev by paying him. reward him for what exactly lol

[@Chrism7178]

He cant even tell you.🤣

[@thebrettjames1]

I can tell you and it’s playing like a top 10 QB when he’s healthy. Also, for helping lead the Jaguars to back to back winning seasons. This Jaguars team would’ve never been 8-3 prior to our collapse without Trevor.

[@michaelwalker1473]

Touché. Yea he did those things but not at a consistent enough clip. I want 16 to be who we thought he was gonna be, but his tape is pretty concrete. Seems like for every wow throw he makes, u can combat that with 2 bonehead plays he makes. Most of us including me haven’t seen enough to blind faithfully say yes he’s def our guy. But to each its own 🤷🏽‍♂️. Go Jags

Trevor turned the ball over three times in a game. What if he can't do it again like he did a year ago. I wouldn't give him anything until he shows he can start a game without giving it away in the first half!! The coaching staff has a lot to prove after last season. They looked like high school volunteers in small town America!!

Trevor won’t grow unless the organization and fan base doesn’t stop coddling and making 1000 excuses for his play…..as of now he’s a fringe top 15 qb at best….If Jags have to eventually pay him big dollars that’s means he’s heavily improved which is a good thing!

[@davidreeves007]

Hate to tell you all this, but the other teams in the AFC South improved way more than they were supposed to and our Jaguars declined. Yes, we had the same record, no, we didn't win the division or make the playoffs. We went from a 99% chance of making the playoffs to a busted season because we were too arrogant about Trevor Lawrence and completely disrespected our backup quarterback, who is one of the best in the league! As far as I'm concerned, this team is not elite by any means and our offensive coaching was far worse than the defensive side. We still have the offensive coordinator. Trent Balke, Doug Pedersen, and Press Taylor should be on notice that another last year will not be tolerated! Too many ice cream media questions and way too much partying at Trevor's house!! I wonder how much they care? I know that they have no idea how much the fans care or they wouldn't be partying after losses!! Should never happen!! High school teams of 50 years ago practiced harder than these "profession players" of today. For real!! NFL cares way more about $$ than they do about quality and fair football!! No Jaguars, I'm not impressed. I'll still watch and cheer, but I'm getting old and you all let me down again. Same Jaguars since 1995, fans are always on board, but we keep getting shown that management and coaches care about something else than we do or they'd find a way to win. It was so obvious that we needed help in both lines. Everyone knew it except Balke, Pederson and Taylor evidently. Law of averages should get a superbowl for Jacksonville sometime before I die, but the decision making going on makes it highly unlikely! Go Jaguars!!

[@chestupperpickett4219]

Really like the breakdowns on Trevor Lawrence.. I 100 percent agree with you pay him now

[@misakikoko4500]

They should have traded Trevor to the Bears for the #1 pick. He physically gifted, but makes terrible decisions. If they are going to keep him, they will probably regret paying him as a top 5 QB. They are in a tough spot either way, but they should have traded him while he still has perceived value in the league.

[@stantoncook1677]

Easy Answer, NOOOOO! HES A BUST!!!!

[@thebrettjames1]

😐😐

[@alriley05]

I keep saying this... Trevor looked real Jameis Winstonish (injury or not) this year so we should be the Bucs and treat him like Jameis. You're going to play on this 5th year and you're going to have to show me.

[@carlrickerson5360]

What does he have to prove to you!! His rookie season was a clown show. 2nd year he got great coaching and in the 2nd half of season he was best QB in league and we went to playoffs and won a playoff game. I didn't see 30 tunovers like Winston. We still had a winning season this year but injuries to him his wide receivers and playing behind a bad Oline contributed to him having a sub par year. Most of us can see he is the franchise. You van nitpick every QB in the league. Its not like he just playing like trash he is 24 with plenty of football left. Sign him early and show we believe in him and allow him to develop into a more consistent QB!

This wasnt his only bad year, he has had multiple bad years where we are left with more questions than answers. When you see the success of other QBs who were not nearly as touted as he was. No id say wait til after this next season and see where we are, paying this guy Mahomes money for mid range QB play isnt worth it.

[@davidreeves007]

Then why was he playing? No excuses! Trevor sucked and so did other players and coaches! They were mediocre, at best!
