"Expectations Must Be Lowered for No. 1 Overall Pick Trevor Lawrence in 2021"

[X-Files]

"[FONT=&quot]While Lawrence's situation is similar to Luck's in 2012, they are not identical. Chuck Pagano was then in his first season as a head coach, but he had more than a decade of NFL coaching experience. Meyer has never coached at the NFL level.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Meyer won three national championships in college, but he has never developed a quarterback in the NFL or managed professionals amid a losing season. His initial approach in Jacksonville may already be wearing thin.


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"He's got to change a few things. He brought a bunch of college-like things to the program, which I don't necessarily agree with," CBS Sports' Pete Prisco told The DA Show on Tuesday (beginning at the 3:25 mark). "And I've heard some of the players aren't thrilled with him either."


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Luck had the guidance of a brilliant offensive coordinator and interim head coach in Bruce Arians. While Jaguars offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell is experienced, he isn't a two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year, as Arians now is.


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Bevell's offense has not looked good in the preseason with Lawrence under center, as The Athletic's Andy Staples recently noted:


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"For the second consecutive game, it was painful to watch the first offense the Jaguars put on the field. The tempo was sluggish. No. 1 draft pick Trevor Lawrence still held the ball too long at times. The protection was faulty. The receivers couldn’t get separation. ... A team that went 1-15 last year and spent two first-round picks to upgrade its offensive explosiveness couldn't generate any explosive plays, and it certainly didn't seem coaches trying to throw regular-season opponents off the scent was the cause."


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Lawrence currently lacks chemistry withthe rest of Jacksonville's offense, and the loss of the other first-round pick isn't going to help matters.


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Jaguars drafted Lawrence's college teammate and running back/receiver Travis Etienne Jr. 25th overall. However, he suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 2 of the preseason that ends his inaugural campaign before it even had a chance to start..."

Expectations are simply nothing more than one’s opinion of a player’s future performance. Anyone worth a damn, doesn’t need to lower their expectations for a rookie QB starting for one of the league’s worst teams. Their expectations were realistic to begin with.

 

[SmallDaddy]

In college he succeeded because he was the best athlete on the field.

They didnt ask him to do anything complicated at all.

Will have too see if his game adjusts to the next level. He will have to improve/learn the mental side of it

 

[exploited17]

Even in todays NFL does anyone really expect a great season from a rookie?
It usually happens when they have a good team

Luck I believe had a good season but the Colts were a good team. It was the Manning injury that had them seem bad. They had no QB
So, insert a decent(even rookie) and boom you can do good

 

[SmallDaddy]

Yeah.. a raw rookie on a crappy team.

 

[FairWarning]

And surrounded by NFL talent. Easy to run up stats vs overmatched opponents up 27-3 in the 2Q.
