QB Trevor Lawrence is failing to deliver for Jaguars

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was supposed to be the Jacksonville Jaguars' savior, but three seasons into his career, he remains closer to average than elite. 

As a rookie, Lawrence threw for 12 touchdowns and was tied for the league lead with 17 interceptions in 17 games — 13 of those under in-over-his-head head coach Urban Meyer, who was fired by the Jaguars with the team 2-11.

In his second season in 2022, Lawrence greatly improved, looking like a franchise QB under new Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson, a former NFL signal-caller himself. He finished the season with 4,113 yards, 25 touchdown passes and eight interceptions while helping the Jaguars win the AFC South. 

Now in his third year, Lawrence has declined from his successful second season. His completion percentage (66.3 to 65.9), touchdown percentage (4.3 to 3.7) and passer rating (95.2 to 90.5) have decreased. Meanwhile, his interception percentage has increased (1.4 to 2). 

In 2023, Lawrence has thrown for 3,525 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and rushed for 300 yards and four TDs. He hasn't been bad, but he also hasn't been great.

A big issue with Lawrence is his inability to hold onto the ball. He is tied for third in the league with six fumbles lost after leading the league last season with nine. 

He also makes simple mistakes too often, as on "Sunday Night Football" against the Ravens, when his clock-management error led to zero points in a 23-7 loss.
