Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars: ‘I Wish I Played Better To Give Us a Shot’ at….

The Jacksonville Jaguars have numerous causes for their late-season collapse. Coaching mistakes, on-field errors,

injuries, and, of course, the team’s composition.

According to quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who suffered with three different ailments in the final six games of the

season, his own performance during their 1-5 skid is another factor to consider, injuries or not. “I believe that is a

part of the sport. And there are no excuses when you go on the field. When you get on the field on Sunday, you’re

expected to perform, especially as a quarterback and a person who touches the ball and has a major impact on the

game,” Lawrence told NFL Network this week.

“You’ve got to play well. To win, your quarterback must perform well in this league. And, you know, one apparent

percentage, and 23rd in passer rating out of 31 quarterbacks with 100 dropbacks from Weeks 13-18.

So that’s something I have to learn from, and, you know, if I’m on that field and I’m banged up, or if you’re going to

have to play through some stuff,” Lawrence explained. “So, you know, I’ve got to find a way to play better through

that. And, of course, I’m hoping for another opportunity next year, but I believe we made some progress, even if it

didn’t go as planned. There were positive points for Lawrence in 2023, too, but nobody wants to hear about them
