Jaguars Dealt Concerning Trevor Lawrence Revelation Liam Coen Can’t Fix<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Forget for the moment about Trevor Lawrence\u2019s footwork.<\/p>\n

The real issue for the Jacksonville Jaguars $275-million quarterback has been the stability of the foundation on which his feet are scrambling.<\/p>\n

Lawrence, the NFL\u2019s No. 1 overall draft pick in 2021, is beginning the 2025 season with his third head coach in five years. That man is Liam Coen, the quarterback whisperer and offensive wizard who turned the 2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers into a balanced, touchdown-producing machine.<\/p>\n

Coen\u2019s first priority, as Brent Martineau of The Brent and Austen Show podcast<\/a> noted Monday morning, is to fix whatever\u2019s wrong with Jacksonville\u2019s quarterback. But … is it really the footwork<\/a>? Martineau was skeptical.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you really going to fix something that you\u2019ve been doing since you were six years old?\u201d said Martineau. \u201cI don\u2019t know how simple this is, in terms of fixing, but if he\u2019s thinking about (footwork), he\u2019s not gonna play fast. That concerns me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martineau noted that Jaguars fans don\u2019t want more excuses in 2025. They want touchdowns and actual wins on the field, despite the many obstacles Lawrence has had to overcome in his early career.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick Mahomes (the Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback) hasn\u2019t had to deal with any of the stuff that (Lawrence) has had to deal with in that way,\u201d Martineau said. \u201cNone of it. From the negativity, to the Urban Meyer, to the different offenses, he hasn\u2019t had to deal with any of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawrence began his NFL career under Meyer, who the Jaguars fired late the 2021 season after a 2-11 start. Martineau noted that Lawrence started out better under his second head coach, but \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time he got used to the (Doug Pederson) offense, it looked like it had gone stale,\u201d Martineau said.<\/p>\n

Martineau\u2019s podcast partner Austen Lane said that top draft pick Travis Hunter, and the new head coach, will get some slack as it will be their first year in Jacksonville. Right or wrong, Lawrence will be expected to produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Trevor Lawrence, I understand it\u2019s another new offense and another new head coach, but \u2026 he has to play well right away, in my opinion,\u201d said Lane.<\/p>\n

Lane said that Lawrence has got to be better than his 2025 ESPN fantasy draft projection<\/a>: 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose numbers are not good,\u201d Lane said. \u201cThat can\u2019t be the case. I don\u2019t care what the other stats say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacksonville won\u2019t have the toughest schedule in the NFL this year, but it\u2019s far from the weakest. If the Jaguars are still in contention for a playoff spot after, say, 11 games, their schedule becomes more favorable.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars play the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans twice each, as well as the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals, in their final seven games. So a strong start is crucial.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrevor Lawrence is the guy that has to be good right away,\u201d said Lane. \u201cYou can\u2019t have, in my opinion, any slow start, any of that, whoever it\u2019s on. For Lawrence, it\u2019s time to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
