Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence put up some horrible stats in his rookie season, but considering the context, his debut campaign was likely much better than you realize.

As a jags fan who watched every single game this season, I was disgusted with how people were treating Trevor after this season. Too many people were saying he’s a bust, yet it was only his rookie season. Plus he plays for the Jaguars, I mean we’re lucky to win more than 5 games in a season. I was SHOCKED that we managed to get 3 wins after the Urban disaster. Trevor has a bright future, this video is great 👍
Yeah but he wasn’t good this season you cant lie about that throwing to the most open routes is something any qb should adapt to instantly let alone a 1st overall
@@wavy5624 i mean when you’re on a shitty team with a shitty coach theres a limit to what you can do
@@shen4636 especially when your receivers be getting locked up and running through your rb room
Y’all were in the playoffs very recently your standards have 📉
Fr the hype up video we didn’t know we needed
And the fact he did these numbers with literally one of the biggest jokes as a head coach in nfl history is impressive.
As a Steelers fan, I still thank Trevor for giving us that playoff spot. Hope the Best next year
I'm a jags fan and watch them every week, you were right about needing a therapist. Excellent video you seem more knowledgeable than some NFL network analyst alot of them had nothing positive to say about Trevor.
Same here bro i am a Jags fan too, i needed therapy after each game, but i am excited for this season.
I'm so happy to find other jags Fans i live in Oklahoma so don't get to watch them every week I agree everyone was way too hard on Trevor Lawrence last season everyone calling him a bust after 1 season should have their head checked you know who had the worst rookie season in NFL history Payton manning he turned out All right we should know he torched us for nearly 20 years
@@kanebarton6212 peyton manning set the rookie TD record
He also set the rookie int record bro and statistically he had the worst rookie year of All time at that point my point still stands don't judge a QB bye Thier first year
NFL Network is a joke. David Carr's entire career as an analyst is trying to argue that every starting QB is terrible, actually, except his brother, who should be a Hall of Famer. Their coverage of other positions is great, MJD in particular, but I'm continually baffled by how wrong they are about QB prospects.
This is my first time seeing your content but I’m a jags fan and this was really well done. For sure got a new sub from me. Really knowledgeable and broken down well
Thank you!
Most Hyped since Andrew Luck? More like since Joe Burrow. And Burrow had more of a problem with time to throw than Lawrence. Burrow got killed in regards to sacks. Yet per PFF Burrow was ranked #1 QB. What does that tell you? Burrow >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lawrence.
Regardless of how good or bad it actually is, I think judging any rookie especially a Quarterback after ONE SEASON and declaring them a bust or not is rushing to conclusions. Even Peyton Manning would've seemed a bust going off his rookie numbers, there is an acclimation process to adjusting to the pro level. Give it least a couple more years before you decide if he's a bust or not I say.
💯 agree but unfortunately most quarterbacks don’t get that chance although Lawrence will
Manning had a worse team and did 2x better
@@xMindwormx Lawrence at his best wouldn’t be manning but this team was broken which is worse then a bad team. Manning had the same amount of touchdowns as he did interceptions. Although his numbers didn’t show he was gonna be a top quarterback of all time so the same chance could be said about Lawrence although I don’t think it’ll happen especially in the situation he is in
@@YellowDogAnimations yea, but manning never had a line and barely had weapons half the time,also were talking about rookie seasons only. Manning did waaaaaaay better it wasn’t even close.
@@xMindwormx ya Manning only had Marshall Faulk, Marvin Harrison, Ken Dilger and Marcus Pollard, Tarik Glenn on his offense poor guy.... pretty sure Lawrence woulda died to have that roster
Numbers don't lie, but they don't tell the full story either.
while numbers don't lie - number can be devasting weapons for those who are lying
@@JackalBruit yo did you eat the blue pill my guy😂 that was probably one of the best comments I’ve read.
@@geicocansaveyoursoul2704 haha i dont recall popping any blue pills ... of any kind ;)
Hes buns
Lawrence was the highest touted prospect for a reason. He has all the physical tools that you could ever want, build, arm, speed, height, but his best tool is between his ears. He doesnt get rattled. He doesnt lose his confidence after a bad throw or a bad game. He is the same guy on game day as he is at practice. Hes only going to keep getting better and better, and hopefully the supporting cast he has will too.
Hes a little thin but yeah hes a high end prospect at QB. The crazy thing is tools wise he might be 4th best from his draft class. I think he will be a top 10 QB in the next 2-3 years along with Fields if they get quality teammates.
i remember jt of the qb school made a yt vid during the szn called “free trevor” and he says thru the vid “free my man trevor from the bare minimum” 🤣
Its crazy you only have 30k subs with analysis this good. This channel is going places.
1:20 that man is just there for the check 😂
Billy man, you crushed that video. Your breakdown of Trevor Lawrence was great. Your explanations were fantastic,and recognized it was a poor system and a lot of that was not contribute to Trevor but the wr's dropping passes and unprepared coaching. Really cool to see his progression through the season. Be interesting to see how this season changes. Thanks for the video.
as a titans fan, I'm a little scared of the jags coming into this season knowing LT is going to be much more developed and we are falling off due to the loss of our wideouts
I always felt like there was a disconnect between his film and the stats
First vid I’ve watched, man you are really skilled at breaking this down. I’m subscribing!
The throw against the patriots off his back foot was one of the most insane passes I've seen
You need to watch more passes
The game that they lost 10-50?
@@jakef5890 nah, the game when they won 102-12 against the Pats
That 1 lololol
very good video... very in-depth breakdowns, I love it
Never seen your videos before, but this is a great breakdown! Hopefully your channel continues to grow, im a fan now
Very good analysis of TLaw. With the people the Jags have picked up, and the few we may sign .... I am super stoked for this NFL season. No SuperBowl dreams here, just looking for a positive record this season! Duuuuvaaaaaal!
As a lover of the game, great analysis, you showed clearly how he has matured into his role. he didn't look bad against my Bengals at all, he just needs help and a little more time.
Nice breakdown Billy. Someone had to do it. I think most understand what a dysfunctional situation they had there with Urban, while obviously still have a lot of building to do. Felt bad for Trevor, but it'll only make him better. Was clear from week 13 how he dramatically improved in several areas.... no coincidence there! Cheers
The 2nd play says it all pretty much haha. No blitz, only 4 man pressure, offensive tackle completely blows the block and lets guy thru mostly clean, Lawrence hangs in and delivers the ball right before he gets absolutely cleaned, makes a crazy nice layer throw over the linebacker and under the safety, guy drops an uncontested catch lol
Scheduling my therapy appointment…I live in Tx but support the jags. I’ll watch what I can on red zone and listen to the game via SiriusXM. I was happy to see Trevor’s improvement last season and hear it on the radio. I wish Peyton or Tony did our radio show so they could tell me the great strides he is making. Thanks for the video! DDDUUUUVVVVAAAALLLL!
Just watched this. First time seeing one of your videos. Earned a subscription, sir. Well done.
Great breakdown. I play in a lot of dynasty fantasy leagues. Purposefully tanked into 1.01 rookie pick in many of them. As soon as Jags hired Meyer, I traded pretty much all of them. Knew that was gonna fail.
That time of the year😎 keep ‘em coming billy
I have learned a lot through your videos, thank you :)
You have just earned another subscriber. Liked your analysis.
Absolutely love videos like this. Seems full of non-bias critique!
Great video dude. Really liked the analysis and as someone who watches the Jags every week - my therapist hates me
we both need therapists😂
This was a good vid! I had figured nothing was wrong with Trevor, but I had no idea the rest of his team was that bad! I’d like to see him improve in year 2 (I have tons of his rookies), but hopefully they fall short playing denver
This video aged well
You can really tell the difference between people who only judge on the stats, and those who actually watched the games and saw what the real problems were and watched the noticeable improvement. Great video!
New sub! Great video with high level analysis
definitely the best football videos on youtube love it
You can talk all this smack you want but the fact that he didn't perform like he should have is still relevant. He was talked up as a once in a generation QB and he was far from that as a matter of fact there were times when he was just plain awful. Watch its going to be the exact samething in 2022.
@@PurpleHazeVanNederlands in defense of Trevor Lawrence, that OSU defense was the second best in the nation, only behind Clemson itself. The year after that he was 33/48 for 400 yards 2 tds, and an interception. That’s (rounding) a 69% passing percentage and is higher then his 2018 game against Alabama. His offenses were also consistently highly ranked in index ratings such as OFEI that account for the strength of the opposing defense.
wow..what great insight. Really appreciate your breakdown of the season and you definitely earned a new sub from me.
Such a good video. Well done
Everyone was sh*tting on the Colts losing to the Jags in Week 18 last year. I thought it was Trevor Lawrence becoming a beast.
Colts can't beat the jags
Ha no doubt lol…
@@packisbetter90 *in jacksonville.
Correction @7:26 - Lawrence did not make an inaccurate throw, instead the receiver slowed down looking back at the quarterback. This play would have been a touchdown if the receiver didn’t stop and then have to play catch-up. He would have caught the ball past the defenders and would have had an open field.
He threw a lotta more dimes not shown unfortunately most of them were dropped by his subpar reciever core jags lead the league in drops last year
Awesome video!!!!!! 🐆
Great analysis dude. Peace
Very well done my man. I’ll continue watching for content like this. Fresh like and sub you brother.
Great vid keep it up
Love this take. I didn't watch a lot of Jags games and this is some good info.
Nice even handed complimentary commentary with a little constructive criticism thrown in.
I remember Burrow getting a similar level of hate. NFL fans mostly care about optics and narrative. The narrative was the Lawrence was the most talented being to walk the planet and anything short of a complete turn around is horrible. The optics were that Lawrence has bad stats and a bad team You can't learn natural athleticism or talent. QBs with this amount of talent only ever fail due to work ethic disappearing, injuries, or a bad team holding them down. Lawrence like Burrow, Herbert, Mahomes, etc just need a coach and system that maximizes them. 1 or 2 other core pieces to rely on and take pressure off of Lawrence. Their is a growing tendency of fans to toss QBs under the bus for not being an MVP caliber player in the first few years of their career. Drew Breeze threw more ints than TDs for like his first 4 years. Imagine if the Saints said piss off and cut him. Failing and learning from that is what makes the great QBs great. Now yes, there just some QBs that lack the raw talent or ability to really learn. QBs will not pan out a lot of the time. Just looking at stats isn't gonna prove that tho
Loved this! You actually made sense lol. I can't comprehend wtf some people are talking about when they playin' HC. Good stuff! #DUUUUVALL #DTWD #GoJags🐆
Not even a jags fan but really enjoyed this, I don’t know a lot about football outside of basic concepts, but this was such an easy to understand video
bro as a jags fan i needed someone to make a video on this. every week you could see the talent but the coaching staff and poor play around him made it so hard for trev to succeed
Great video. I really expect the Jags to leave some people shocked this year.
great video. greetings from germany
This isn't a knock since I think Brett Kollmann is the best at detailed football videos on KZhead. But brooooooo, If I didn't know any better I would SWEAR this was him. Y'all sound DEAD alike. Long story short, great stuff man.
This video was great, would love one on Zach Wilson please
I think watching this vid on 12/26/2022 with the Jags now in 1st in their division shows why this 2nd look at TLaw 5 months ago was spot on. Watched Trev play high school and college ball so I knew he had the physical skills but more important, the stuff between the ears and he would be every bit as advertised quicker than later. I have no illusions the Jags are winning the SuperBowl this year but I've also seen where Trev was written off as a rookie before and at the end of the night, Trev and not Alabama was hoisting the hardware so I'll never say never. Regardless how this all plays out, Jacksonville fans have to be gitty about their team's future and rightly so. And next year TLaw has Ridley for a target too. AFC has a new sheriff in town by the name of TLaw!
great video brother
Would love to see a Zach Wilson video. Seems as if TLaw/ZW had the same typa season. Good stuff brodie🙌🏻
He’s definitely going to shock a lot of people this year.
🤞
Cap
@@brettmcanally8265 nope
I don't think he's going to shock anyone. People expect progression from a second year QB. Especially when there is nowhere to go but up.
he still plays for the jags... so if he can win more than 5 games, it will be shocking
Great Video! I think the Urban Meyer disaster alone is reason enough to give Trevor a pass for this season. This would have been difficult for a veteran QB never mind a rookie. But you break down showed how good Lawrence is despite the terrible situation he is in and given even a decent team around he could be scary.
10:30 As a Jags fan, I do watch them every week. My therapist has trouble understanding my choices in life ...
As a Jags fan i thank you for this video....i noticed these same things while watching each game in pain but i always seen his upside and his progression as the season went on. SO i do believe that the Jags will be better with him at QB!
Upside isn't as important as awareness and mental stability as a qb. Thankfully he has both lol
Your voice doesn't need to sound like Brett Kollman, your content is great.
Great video.
OMG DUDE. I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK FOOTBALL. IM SUBSCRIBING. CHECKING UT SOME MORE STUFF RIGHT NOW
As a Raider fan, thank you for killing off Indy on week 18. Great vid.
Man you can do a video like this for all the bottom half of NFL QB’s!
This video made me way too excited to watch jaguar football. Thanks
Great vid. Any real NFL fan knows Trevor is going to be a big name soon. His durability also wasnt mentioned...hes tough taking all those hits!
Your like brett kollman 2.0 this is great analysis
11:06, That was a heck of a play
Is this Brett Kollmann's new channel? Nice breakdown dude
Perfect video 📹 Edit: I Live In Jacksonville!!!!!
I love that these points were brought to light. Are the Jaguars terrible, YES... YES we are (Yes, I'm a Jags fan)! Did Trevor have a terrible season, yes and no. Yes because the numbers and lack of wins say so, but no for all the points made in this video. One thing that everyone that calls Trevor a bust seems to forget, is how many DROPS the TEAM had. Trevor can put the ball where its supposed to be, but he can't force the catch to be complete. I am not the happiest that we gave Kirk as much money as we did, but he is solid, and I wish upon wishes that we might make a run at DK Metcalf in a trade. If Trevor had even one SOLID WR1, it would've been a totally different season for the Jags. Here's hoping Year 2 will show what he can really do. With Etienne back, things could be really fun!
Can you do a showcase on Mac
Fantastic analysis! Better than he looked, but they still need a looooot of work
Keep it up!
I don't think this video proved anything but it was still very good :)
Get this man more subs
Where can you watch film like this?
He did awesome in his rookie season even without a decent team and Urban Meyer as HC. Now he have more weapons and im waiting to see Travon Walker and Devin Lloyd together
You called it! Brett Kollmann you know your stuff
I would like to see Surtain and see if he can truly now help the Broncos compete for a SB
Bro in the beginning you sounded exactly like Brett Kollman
Could you consider doing a similar assessment video on Jalen Hurts?
Oh this video is 🔥
Excellent breakdown. Hit dat sub button.
Really hope having Pederson as HC helps turn things around for the Jags. Trevor is a great player with an even better head on his shoulders.
Great break down I’m a Jags fan who watched every game and Lawerence had a rough season but there were so many flashes of potential plus his weapons were by far the worst in the NFL
Flashes of potential lololol He is a Bust your just a fan...
@@cravenlevay8761 You sound like a troll you’re saying TLaw is a bust because he had a down year as a rookie, with the worse WR group in the NFL last year, and a clueless HC who got fired 13 games in ??????
@@jamesgraham4476 the Chargers have three or four receivers better than him all day right now. Figure that and that he's super injury-prone and can't even go a season. Yeah troll talk right. 🤡💩💨😂
@@cravenlevay8761 Dude what are you talking about we’re talking about Trevor Lawerence being a “bust” as you said. Why are you bringing up the chargers & TLaw being “injury prone” when he started all 17 games last year….you sound so stupid if you don’t know football just say that….
This guy sounds exactly like Brett Kollmann. Like exactly like him lol. Phrases and everything
I had to make sure I wasn’t watching a Brett Kollmann video. You guys sound identical.
TLaw was killer, and the fact that the Jags haven't really upgraded he o-line limits their upside.
Nah they have. They got Brandon sheriff and have walker little who will more than likely beat out JAWAAN TAYLOR at RT
@@cowman876 they said the same thing about Norwell when he came in. Until I see an offensive line that can pass protect, I'm going to reserve my judgment.
Thank you for doing some positive coverage on the Jaguars. It’s rare, so you’re video was extremely enjoyable and professional.
He will be very good. I don’t understand why some trash him.
What did people expect of him? The team he joined went 1-15.
Can’t really accept his Rookie year as a true Rookie year… Urban ruined all that for him and the team, everybody was affected including fans and ownership. Winning 3 games in that mess was amazing. Troy Aikman and Peyton Manning had similar problems in their Rookie seasons as well. What’s that people say?….Time will tell.
This guy will have a revolutionary jump in the upcoming SEASONS! he has the worst coaching situation in the league obviously.. as well as no help on offense! Doug Pederson should help him grow a lot as well as all the additions they have on both sides of the ball! Dude is NOT a bust by any means he has true legitimate skill!!
i may not be a JAX fan, but as someone who shares a name with the team (Jackson) ~ i hope ur desc'd suggestions somehow make it down to the Jacksonville upper crust to see some better play this upcoming season!
I’m not worried about my boy Trev at all 😎 I know he’ll be great. Anybody who watched Jags games saw the flashes of greatness. Getting Doug Pederson was HUGE for Trevor
Every QB has flashes of greatness even Mike White and Drew Lock
I bet "your boy" doesn't even know you exist 😂
