Trevor Lawrence came into the NFL with the type of hype few quarterbacks have seen in the league’s illustrious history. He’s been solid with the Jaguars , but he’s never blossomed into the top-tier quarterback many expected him to evolve into in Jacksonville.
The team still believes in their starter, as they undergo a seismic shift with offensive guru Liam Coen hired to take him to the next level. Will it come to fruition? ESPN analysts like Dan Orlovsky , Jeremy Fowler and Damien Woody debated on Monday’s edition of Get Up.
“Is Trevor Lawrence going to become more than average? That’s what he’s been the last three years,” Orlovesky wondered. “There’s been a little bit of turmoil. It’s been up and down, his QBR in the last three seasons. They have a new head coach in Liam Coen, one of these bright offensive minds in the NFL. They’ve got a guy that was Offensive Rookie of the Year caliber in Brian Thomas Jr. Obviously, the addition Travis Hunter .
“Can he get more consistent? Can he lead like he hasn’t done before? Can he become a difference maker for Jacksonville? Under the most pressure on any quarterback in their conference.”
Orlovsky is questioning whether or not Lawrence is capable, but Fowler wouldn’t put all of the blame simply on the quarterback for his struggles. No matter what though, it’ll come down to whether Lawrence can reach a new level in 2025. The bottom line is he has to play better.
