It looked like the Jacksonville Jaguars had found their quarterback of the future.
Trevor Lawrence was considered a generational talent and a superstar in the making.
He was a winner at every level and was compared to Peyton Manning.
Fast forward to today, and he has failed to live up to those expectations.
Other than his first season with head coach Doug Pederson, Lawrence has struggled to keep up with the hype.
That’s why, now that he will play under his third head coach, former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum believes the Jaguars should consider moving on from the No. 1 overall pick from the 2021 NFL Draft.
“[Trevor Lawrence] was 60.6 percent completion percentage, which was 31st in the NFL. He was 29th in completion above expectation. That’s not good enough for somebody that’s that good. … If I’m Liam Coen and their new general manager, I’m thinking about drafting a quarterback if we don’t see meaningful improvement this year,” Tannenbaum said.
“I’m thinking about drafting a quarterback if we don’t see meaningful improvement [from Trevor Lawrence].”

That might sound drastic, but it makes some sense.
Granted, not many players would’ve been able to succeed under former head coach Urban Meyer, and the Jaguars haven’t been the most well-run franchise either.
Then again, they have gone to great lengths to make sure that Lawrence has everything he needs to succeed, and he hasn’t always held up his end of the bargain.
He’s not yet 26 years old, and some players need more time than others to get their act together, but the clock is ticking, and there should be no more room for excuses.
