Appreciate everyone being here. And this is the best place for me to have a half hour, 30 minutes to explain uh things that don’t always get explained uh correctly when you’re posting on social media or in short form. So, I want y’all to pay attention to me, and I appreciate y’all being here. All right, we’re going to end up talking about coaching and expectations of the Jaguars. Uh, in the middle of the show, we’re going to talk about the parts around him. Who is him? Him is the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence. We’re going to park right there and start the show today talking about QB1 for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I’m going to clear some stuff up real quick. I think Trevor Lawrence is super talented. I think Trevor Lawrence has gotten a bad rap from a lot of people that love to just dunk on Jacksonville anytime that they have a chance to. And uh it it is lowhanging fruit. U I have been one of the biggest defenders of fairness when it comes to not only Trevor but this entire city coaching staff, guys that have been here before, guys that get fired. So it’s not about waffling. It is about progressing and and and allowing things to work themselves out. See, too many times when we talk about sports, I’m going to use sports because that’s what this is. But you could put this in any other category you want to. Uh, everyone wants to be right and they want to be right fast. That is not what I what I am about. I’m about just uh giving everybody a fair chance to understand everything. So, I don’t allow social media to necessarily tell y’all what I’m going to discuss, but for today, I think it’s super super important that we map out the differences and what people think you say as opposed to what you’re actually saying. So, the responsibility of that is me. It’s on me. I’m a professional communicator. I get paid very handsomely by this network. To be clear, I want y’all to be clear about this. I am not going to accept u dismissiveness, if you will, or people being dismissive of a point that I’m trying to make and they mask it behind misunderstanding. Because what people tend to do is they’ll grasp a hold of any one little thing you say that will allow them to have a little bit of a crack in the door or an avenue or an off-ramp from the main topic because they want to jump back on another highway to get you to start saying and feeling uh what they do. Case in point, I criticized the handling of Travis Hunter uh two weeks ago and turned loose every Coach Prime and Colorado fan that could. And and I and I was like John Wick standing there with that sword with all of those people charging at him on a horse. Not John Wick, John Snow. But my thing is, you get the point. The point is is you can’t say one thing negative, even if it’s true about someone that a lot of fans are cheering for, without them calling you a hater. All right? So, we know that and we understand that. And that’s not who I do this for. I do this for people that look to have understanding. My comments yesterday about Trevor Lawrence was rooted in this. And I’ll tell you what it was. I saw just like y’all saw that a whole bunch of stuff wasn’t right about yesterday. I saw what y’all saw that a whole bunch of stuff went bananas the last couple of weeks that we didn’t like from running the football, uh, lack of running the football, being able to run it. Seven sacks, two games in a row after only giving up six in the first five games, offensive line not looking good, blown assignments on defense. I saw it all. I questioned some of the things that Liam Cohen was doing yesterday. All right, no problem. I’ll admit that, just like everyone else. But what you guys don’t see is this. What you don’t see is when they win games and there’s euphoria around them winning games and I’m sitting there in the press box or on road games with other football people or sitting there talking to coaches that I know, folks that I know. Some of them have played pro ball. Some of them are coaching in college. Some of them on a scouting side. And I’m constantly having this same discussion. what’s wrong with him? And I’m constantly standing over there boxing man. I’m like, “No, it ain’t that. We need to fix this. We need to fix this. We need to fix that.” To the point where if you go back to look at anything that I said about Trevor Lawrence when they change regimes, I said this, they need to insulate him and turn him into Jared Goff. I promise you, I’m on record as saying that. And what that was was me lowering my expectations because no matter how we felt about Trevor when he came out in the draft, no matter how we felt, how did he get here at the beginning of 2025 from the kid that was drafted in 2021, how did we get here? The prince that was promised and all of that, they didn’t insulate him. They tried to just give him the ball and move out of the way. And I’m going to address that part of it, too, because I said that. I said you have to when you have a super talented player, just like when you have a lot of money, that’s when you need a financial adviser. You don’t have you need no financial adviser when you’re broke. You need one when you get rich. I felt the Jaguars got rich when they drafted Trevor Lawrence, and I thought they needed more care in their organization for that prize possession. The one thing that I have harped on for years was offensive line and legitimate weapons at wide receiver. Y’all know that if you’ve listened to this show every day. So then you say, “How could you flip wig? How could you now want to blame everything on him and not all of the drops and now not all of the people running for their life and now not the coach calling plays that you don’t like. I’ll tell you how is because when it came comes to Trevor Lawrence, a lot of y’all think that he is perfect and he is Josh Allen and he needs to be in that category. And don’t worry, Chargers fans feel the same way about Justin Herbert and I keep telling them that’s not true. So, I I get it. Here’s what I’m trying to tell you. He ain’t that. And I’m perfectly fine with it. Y’all realize he’s not that. You know why I know you realize it? Because every time you tweet me and say what somebody else needs to do around him in order for him to just look decent. You prove my point. You prove my point. He needs this. He needs that. What quarterback can do this? What quarterback can do? Josh Allen just won an MVP and I don’t even think he deserved it. But everybody says he don’t have a number one receiver and that the Buffalo Bills need to be taken to court for the malpractice that they do of not surrounding him with enough receivers and legitimate players on offense and he has to do it all by himself. We just talked about people thinking that they’re booing the Chiefs and saying the Chiefs need to change their front office because basically Rasheed Rice was being an idiot off the field and wasn’t hurt. And every time the Chiefs start looking just a little bit off, everyone wants to blame everything on everybody except maybe some of the people that are out there playing. I know what it’s like when these teams have Superman. You know why? Because teams that have Superman have played against the Jaguars and I have seen what they have done and I’m like, ain’t no way we should have lost to that. I’ve had to leave the stadium just shrugging my shoulders saying they got that guy. That’s who that guy is. Lamar Jackson is another one and he gets beat up all the time. Lamar’s worn two MVPs. Do y’all realize people keep saying he still has never had a number one receiver? Come on, man. All of these quarterbacks that have done all of these great things have been doing them despite things that they don’t have. So, I said he needs to be Jared Goff. He needs a whole bunch of stuff around him in order for him to be successful. Did he get that way because they screwed him up with a bad organization when he came out of college? Maybe. Perhaps. Maybe that’s what he was at Clemson when everybody who had any knowledge of offenses and how they’re run in college will tell you that Clemson’s offense did not prepare him properly for the NFL. People said it, folks got angry. All I’m saying is every time somebody says something about Trevor Lawrence, here come the people that think he is that great, saying what you need to give him, not understanding that if he doesn’t have it and he doesn’t play great, you prove my point. We’re going to get into this more and I’m going to be specific and talk about the parts around him and the thing that really bothers me. Yesterday I was looking for something. So I looked to the $55 million man and I said, “Man, just do something. You’re you’re the dude. You’re that guy. Do something.” And he didn’t do it. That’s why I said we got to stop expecting him to do that because he can’t do it. And there’s nothing wrong with that because I I am tired. You don’t know how many times I’ve had visiting former players in the press box, other people that we talked to that leave. We even gave it a nickname. We called it the Trevor Lawrence experience. For you to get that, that means you are inconsistent. Sometimes you win being inconsistent. I’m going to talk about all of that stuff a little bit more in just a second here on Locked on NFL.

It is locked on Jaguars. I want locked on NFL, but it is absolutely locked on Jaguars. Uh here we’re talking about Trevor Lawrence. I think Trevor’s talented. I think he’s inconsistent. We call it the experience for a reason. Consistency is a talent and a skill. It’s one that great players need. It’s one that Super Bowl winning quarterbacks maybe outside of the Trent Ders of the world, they need that. They need to be consistent. They need to be something that you know you can count on. So when everybody else is fumbling the ball and when everybody else is missing dunks wide open, when everyone else is letting their man blow by him, when everyone else isn’t doing anything, the one thing that you do expect, I don’t expect Trevor to be great if the offensive line has him running for his life or they get behind because somebody jumps off sides. I do expect him to be consistent enough to make his free throws and his layups. Just because everyone around you is doing it doesn’t mean that you start doing the same thing. In fact, this should work the other way the other way around. When you’re the quarterback, you’re supposed to elevate your team. You’re supposed to be the guy that’s the leader of the team that that is elevated. And I’m sorry for the people that believe, well, he’s not the biggest problem right now. Uh he’s not as bad as Dwey or Brian Thomas Jr. or the pass rush or the interior run defense or the offensive line. Granted, he’s probably a better quarterback or playing quarterback better than all of those people are playing their respective positions. However, here’s the thing. You got some bad kids. Guess what? You go home, maybe their mom and that dad, they ain’t as bad as as terrible as those kids, right? But their bad matters more because everybody depends on them to be good and to lead. You see my point now? his quarterback. You get more credit when your team wins than you probably deserve. Case in point, all everybody mentioned to me yesterday was how he came back from a 27 nothing deficit. Do you realize what happened? They were down 27 to nothing and they won 3130. That means after being down 27 to nothing, their defense couldn’t allow more than three points the rest of the way in order for them to win. But all I hear is how Trevor put the team on his back. Oh, by the way, forgetting that he threw four interceptions in the first half that caused them to be behind in the first place. You see how we do that? We all we give the quarterback all of the credit. This is why they make all of the money because they’re not allowed to make the same mistake as a dude that’s a number one receiver and now you got to realize you need another one. He’s easily replaced. You can’t replace a quarterback contractually just fundamentally starting over. It’s hard. It sets a franchise back. So g guess what? For all y’all telling me that Trevor is down the list of problems, what I am telling you is this ain’t about them losing the game yesterday. This is about four and a half years of me standing there, okay? Making excuses, making excuses. I’m not pointing out problems. I’m looking for solutions. the dude making $55 million a year can’t also miss free throws and layups like the dudes that aren’t. And I don’t know if you can’t understand that why how you going to understand it if I can’t explain it any more better than that because any more better but you know what I mean. What I’m telling you is having someone at quarterback, you it it is almost required for you to have someone at quarterback that if he’s not great, at least he’s consistent. The only thing consistent about Trevor Lawrence is that, you know, he’s going to be inconsistent. That is the point. It’s not about whether it was his fault that they lost, but it damn sure is about the fact that it wasn’t he wasn’t the reason that they didn’t lose. And this is what I keep trying to tell people. I am just at the point where everything has to be perfect. He hasn’t played perfectly this year. He hasn’t even played statistically what you would consider great this season. But guess what? They were 4- one at one point because they led the league in turnovers. And while they were 4- one, we were still calling it the Trevor Lawrence experience for a reason. Come on, man. Get out your feelings. Can you win with a dude like with his talent? Hell yeah, you can win with a dude with his talent. Can you win with a dude that goes up and down like a roller coaster in Northern Ohio somewhere? No, you can’t. So, we’re waiting for him to improve his consistency regardless if he has to run from run from people every night. I’m not talking about those plays. I’m talking about that throw that he sails over somebody’s head on third and six when the dude is wide open. I’m talking about the one he throws behind a guy and a guy has to reach and put his hand up that could have let them keep going. And granted, that doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes those passes that he throws are drops. And we ain’t letting those people off the hook either. We’re not saying that those people don’t need to be better. We’re not saying that Dewey Wingard got to know that that tight end is going to run the same route they ran last week. I’m not talking about some safety that you can replace with a third round draft pick. As a matter of fact, they drafted a kid that they probably thought was going to take the free safety position and he got hurt this year in the third round. What I’m talking about is it is hard to find a quarterback that’s that’s even as good as Trevor. The difference is we’re talking about a guy who makes $55 million like this. I said it yesterday. if he needs y’all defending him so much, he ain’t the dude you think he is because even when things are bad, and I know Joe Burrow has Jamar Chase, but last year he only had Jamar Chase. He was playing behind a bad offensive line with somebody that you could absolutely double because T. Higgins had a hamstring problem all year. And what did he do? He probably should have been the MVP of the league. See, that’s the difference. Even in winning or losing, I can look at Trevor Lawrence and tell that something isn’t the way everybody thought it was going to be. The only difference between me and a lot of people is I can admit it. Now, my defending him usually comes from me trashing former players because nobody is saying the the real part out loud. Folks are just looking at his money and saying that he sucks. I’m not saying that. In fact, I’ll say it again for the third time. He is extremely talented. There are times when he does things that only a handful of people can do, but there are too many times that he does things that bad quarterbacks do. And I’m going to say it on here whether you like it or not. I’m not being mad or being mean, man. I’m just saying we got to get out of this onetrack mind of thinking. Wig, do you like what’s your favorite condiment? Mayo. Oh, so you don’t like mustard and ketchup. I didn’t say that. And that’s what we have too much of. And I have to make sure that I understand this. And this is one of my things, man. And I’ll tell you, anybody that knows me knows this. It does get a little frustrating when you’re trying to explain something and someone thinks that you’re saying something that you’re not. And I realize it’s the way information is consumed. Social media has taught people how to be that way. And so my struggle sometimes is to have nuance conversations and to be able to explain myself because I’m not here to change your mind. I still want to be understood. I just get upset when folks allow pre-existing thoughts and their understanding of a situation to cloud what you’re trying to say and just totally dismiss it and think that you’re saying something else. And that’s not what I’m doing when it comes to Trevor Lawrence. They could do a lot worse at quarterback because they could have a guy that, you know, can’t bring you back from 27 to nothing because he doesn’t have the talent to do it. My charge is just for us to get to a point where he’s not standing up there talking about things that he needs to clean up. I’m gonna tell y’all a little secret, too. When you hear these announcers, especially the dudes that are Hall of Famers, quarterbacks, whether it’s Troy Aman or whether it’s Curt Warner, and I hear and see every week when people talking about he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, screw him and blah blah blah. What makes you more qualified to talk about the position that they played from their perspective than they are? You’re not. Relax. You’re not. Week after week after week, year after year, we standing there with people that cover this thing from a media perspective and it what’s wrong? What’s wrong? And they’re asking and they leave saying I I kind of put my finger on it. He looks like he’s good, but what’s going on? What’s happening? Those are real conversations whether y’all want to have them or not. I’ll tell you where to get a lot of the information, too. And this might hurt your feelings, but I’ll do it in just a second here on Locked on Jaguars. Today’s show is sponsored and brought to you by Mazda, man.

Um, I don’t know where it got to the point where someone says to me that they that out of all the things that to talk about that that’s not the thing to talk about. Well, let me tell you why I did that. I’m going to pull my glasses off of this one because over the years when we said it was Dave Codwell or we said it was Doug Marone and they changed and they brought in Trent Dilford and Urban Meyer and then it was all Urban’s fault and then they changed and then they brought in Doug Peterson had a little success and then when it started falling off it was Doug Peterson and Press Taylor’s fault and I said no they need to clean everything up Then it was quote unquote um Press Taylor. And how many times I told y’all to just stop talking about Press Taylor as if if that gets fixed. And before him it was Luke Forner. Remember, we just need to draft. People said draft the first five picks. Jackson Powers, Johnson. They named every center in the draft because they said that’s what we need. And then it was all we only need a receiver, right? Okay. So then when they clean house, so now everybody wants to point to Brian Thomas Jr. the pass rush. It’s one thing at a time. And I keep telling people it’s not one thing at a time. But Lord but Lord, if you mention if you happen to to mention and and say, “Well, Travis needs to do this better, too.” And what I was saying about Travis was I think he can be a great corner and I think he can be a great receiver. I just don’t know if he can do both. and uh the the the results weren’t looking like that they handled this properly in trying to onboard him to the National Football League. They admitted that they didn’t know what it was going to look like and they were going to try. So all the people that got mad at me about that didn’t realize the Jaguars they blamed the Jaguars for how they were using Travis and all they were trying to do was keep a promise fulfilled to the kid and and and do something that no one has ever done. And when people say, “Well, Coach Prime did it.” Yeah, he did it in the Big 12 in college. How many How many times have y’all seen guys come to the NFL and actually have to adjust to how good everybody is before they and that’s even exacerbated now and that’s enhanced because now he ain’t even focused on one thing and everybody’s going to have a bullseye out from him. But everybody took that and ran with it. And so yesterday everybody did the same thing about Trevor Lawrence. There is no you cannot tell me in one breath that he needs to be a game manager and still hold on to the fact that he’s as good as you thought he was going to be because nobody drafted him number one overall and made him a poster child for this franchise for him to come here and turn into Jared Damn Golf or be a game manager. So even right there, you got to tell me that you got to at least start right there and admit, okay, this ain’t like I thought it was going to be. Now we can blame whoever. We can blame all of the coaches. We can blame Davo. We can blame whoever for it. I ain’t talking about blaming because that’s trying to point out a problem. I’m saying what do we do now from this point forward? And what I did yesterday at 9:30 in the morning when I saw that the kicker couldn’t kick, that the punter couldn’t punt, that the line couldn’t block. You know what I said? This is going to be hard, but they need number 16 to do it for him. He needs to get him going. Forgive me for turning and saying the quarterback, the highest paid player on the team, the best player on the team, needs to do something to ignite this team. and it’s gonna be hard because ain’t none of them playing well. And then he starts missing layups. And Kurt Warner, the Hall of Famer, says, “It’s just the easy stuff, man. You got to take that. You got to read that hot corner coming off. You got to know he’s coming pre- snap.” I gave Trevor credit for changing the play pre- snap against the Texans and he hit Brian Thomas Jr. who hadn’t caught a thing up to that point on a slant to put him in field goal position to go win the game. I gave him credit for it. It’s okay that if I don’t give him credit because things are going bad and him reverting to muscle memory bad habits of reversing out and going left, taking your eyes off of the defense. I ain’t got no problem with him going left, take a couple of steps back and go that way and keep your eyes downfield or run the other way, run away from the guy and throw the ball out of bounds. I’m just saying it’s okay to point out things that they do wrong. coaching and expectations. When these guys come in town to do these games and these broadcast games, you do know they meet with the coaches. A lot of the opinion that they express, you will never hear the coach get up in front of a microphone and say those things about their own players because it’s counterintuitive. But there’s this there’s this unwritten rule of professionalism that whatever they say in that room stays in that room just like Las Vegas. And you cannot tell me that when these coaches talk about Trevor and these folks ask the same questions that they ask local media guys about his performance that there’s not a little bit of well he has to do this and he has to do that and what we’re trying to do is get this and if he plays this way then so so those are the things that you say about someone that is inconsistent. Those are the when you when you hear coach mention stuff like ball placement he’s not just saying that by himself by himself. He’s saying that with all the other things that have to happen. When you see a coach on the sideline demonstratively saying, “Put it in his chest. Put it in his chest.” That’s not something that he’s just saying just because it’s the heat of the moment. It’s something that is bothering him that he notices that happens repeatedly over and over. And in the middle of this game, I’m going to tell you to do it. We have to get out of this babysitting these dudes, man, with this rhetoric and thinking that just because we think they’re good, that’s exactly what they are. We got to call it like it is. And that’s what I’ve been trying to do here every day. And for anybody that thinks that I have some sort of agenda against the dude that I have been talking about and trying to fight off people about like Jon Freaking Snow, I’m going to tell you I ain’t got no agenda. In fact, the only thing I got is to tell you that I just turn to him and look to him and say, “Come on, dude. Pull it off.” And he doesn’t. I go into these games every single week in that press box or wherever I am. And I’m saying, “Come on, Trevor. Give us something. Give.” And then he’ll make throws that only a handful of guys that can make. And then he’ll do things that cause you to say, “The Trevor Lawrence experience.” Where do you think that comes from? Consistency is a skill and a talent. in order for his team to ever get to where they’re going to go. Yeah, they got a lot of things to fix and a lot of things to clean up. But he has to be consistent and not consistent at being inconsistent. What is wrong with saying that? Absolutely nothing. And that’s why I’m going to keep being true to myself and I’m going to keep saying it. And just because some people can’t comprehend it, well, that’s just on them. But just because you say one thing negative, this ain’t politics, it’s sports. It doesn’t mean that the dude, and I’ll say it for now, the fifth time, Trevor Lawrence has talent that a whole bunch of people don’t have. I can say the same thing about Jameus Winston, who’s a backup or a third string quarterback. Now, you got to get rid of and root out the one thing that’s holding you back, regardless of the things that are going on around you, because that’s what you get $55 million for. And if you don’t understand that, you probably never will. And I’m sorry, but I’m gonna keep saying what I’m saying. I’m going to keep telling you what my eyes see and I’m going to keep telling you what my brain is processing. You can give me the nastiest tweet you want to. I don’t care. It’s not going to change me from telling you exactly how I feel. He has to be better. They know it. He knows it. The coaches know. Everybody knows it. But you got to do it and you got to do it consistently. Unfortunately, what you want and desire as fans doesn’t necessarily have to manifest itself on the field and it doesn’t help him one bit. He’s gonna have to do it himself. He has to do it. Check me out on locked on NFL twice. Uh well, I’m on twice on locked on NFL. Locked on Jaguars and Locked on NFL. Locked on NFL podcast comes on twice. Tyler Roland in the morning and me in the afternoon. Make sure you check it out. I do appreciate y’all and I ain’t telling nobody to to not give me your opinion. All I’m saying, man, is make sure you understand exactly what I’m saying. Exactly what I’m saying. You can disagree with it all you want. Does not matter. Does not change anything. He’s inconsistent. The Trevor Lawrence experience in and of itself. The fact that that is a thing is the thing. Y’all take care. We’ll see you next time on Locked on Jaguars.

  1. Tony, this was a great show! You always tell it like it is. I commend you, my friend. Thank you for telling the TRUTH about Lawrence. 👏🏻👏🏻 ✨

  2. Dude, I feel the same exact way about Trevor. Actually, I don't like to criticize T Law, but I have no choice. I think at this stage in his career he has too many issues with what most fans would call simple plays. The game is not slowing down for him and that's a problem. IT'S (TIM TEBO-ITIS!)

  3. We have all rooted for this guy for 4.5 years. In 4.5 years have we seen improvement?
    Numbers dont lie…a majority of the time. To stay in the NFL at the toughest position one has to produce.

  4. Im placing this comment before I watch this show…Trevor is an idiot. His brain doesn't function like an average QB. He's like a poor man's Brock Ostweiler.

  5. i like the jags, but that trevor dude is not a good qb. everyone gonna say “oh the wrs dropping the ball it isn’t his fault” that dude doesn’t throw a good football

  6. His physical ability has never been the question; it’s his mental ability, it’s not there, too many bad decisions equals inconsistency, he’s back to staring down his receivers again also 🤦‍♂️

  7. Me too, I love the take, I'm tired of mediocrity,T Lawrence is not it,no disrespect but Josh Hines -Allen not it too, but I saying does our😅 leader right now, Damn and they ain't providing a damn thing,

  8. They called Trevor the Duke of London yesterday but he’s closer to being Lord Farquad from Shrek. There are people that think very “little” of him 😂. Great work Wig!!!

  9. I'm done with Trevor Lawerence he misses wide open people, and even the throws that are caught are so high or low the receivers practically have to dive for them. Of course hes not the only issue on the team but we can't deny the qb position is the most important one on an nfl team so that must be addressed.

  10. I agree with you however the jags went to london and was there for 5 days ahead of the sundays game. Plenty of time to work on being great and to beat the rams however lets look at the rams who flew in i think the day b4 the game or 11hrs b4 the game and was alot more together than the jags that was there for a whole week no wonder they got the butts handed to them

  11. solution: bring back Mack jones since we've seen what he can do with protection in the right system all Alabama quarterbacks are system quarterbacks it would be like baker Mayfield to Liam Coen Trevor has two more years on that contract mack would be back up after next year re-work Trevor last year or trade him give mack Jones a small two year contract take the money from Trevor contract and get some offensive an defensive linemanwe will have two years while Mack Jones is on a small contract.

  12. But you can’t expect a rookie(TLaw) to have a good start to a career when the franchise that drafted him was ran horrible. All great QBs have consistent and good support around them. Trevor is just getting that in year 5. He’s had No real OC to depend on. He can play better yes but let’s not act like this franchise completely failed him. It’s what happens with all these sucky franchises they ruin QBs and we were no different! We possibly ruined his development and I said it after the urban year, and it looks more and more real.

    I am not saying he can’t do better because he absolutely can. But I’m saying when will fanbases and franchises start(taking accountability)realizing that Young QBs get ruined by being thrown in with no time for real development. Baker bad situation, Darnold bad situation, Daniel Jones, the list goes on all of which are balling with the correct situation. All those guys were left for dead, now look. So we need to understand we absolutely failed him. His development is none existent and it’s on our franchise. We the media and fanbase held him to the high standard and expectations.

    Can’t expect consistency when absolutely NOTHING around him has been consistent.

    Put it like this Patrick Mahomes is not who he is if he got drafted by us.

  13. If Trevor were protected more consistently, and his receivers caught the ball more consistently, maybe he would be a more consistent quarterback. For me He is just not an Elite QB and extremely Overpaid (because the QB Market). Maybe he will be the next "bust" QB as Baker, Darnold, Daniel Jones to delivery good games in a good organization.

  14. Wigg, you had me back when you said he's in the mode of a Big Ben, who had several Pro Bowl or near Pro Bowl pieces around him on those Steelers teams and both Ben and the team was successful. To the Jags "brass", as a Jags fan, you won't hurt my feelings admitting that to me and him. Now just go out and do something to rectify it with or without him. Go Jags!
