Don't Stop Believing

Attempting to make a definitive statement about Trevor Lawrence's career to this point feels premature at best.

You could fairly say he's underwhelmed, both in real football terms and in fantasy production. But three head coaches in five seasons is hardly the ideal foundation for developing a quarterback, no matter how talented. From that angle, Lawrence might have exceeded expectations, given the instability around him.

What's clear now is that the situation in Jacksonville is shifting. New general manager James Gladstone wasted no time making bold roster decisions. Outside of the 2025 draft class, no player on the roster is one he selected. Even those who survived the initial cuts may not be safe beyond this season.

Lawrence is one of the few exceptions. Financially, he's locked in through 2028. That deal gives him enough runway to prove, once and for all, that he's the long-term answer at quarterback. But make no mistake: the pressure is on.

Jacksonville's plan is transparent. Hiring Liam Coen, fresh off a resurgent season with Baker Mayfield and building a receiver room tailored to his scheme, signals a clear organizational priority. This is about maximizing Trevor Lawrence. Now it's on the quarterback to deliver.

If it all clicks, fantasy managers could see a major payoff.

This article aims to explore why Lawrence stalled after his step forward in 2022. Yes, injuries and turnovers played a role. But are there deeper issues beneath the surface? And more importantly, does this new offense finally give him the structure and support needed to thrive?

There is always more to the story. So, let's dig in.
