The Jaguars have signed Trevor Lawrence to a contract extension, putting him among the league’s top quarterbacks this offseason. However, he hasn’t played to his full potential this season.

Lawrence and the Jags blew a 10-point lead to the Dolphins in their first game of the season and were run over by the Browns before completely collapsing in Monday night’s 47-10 loss to the Bills. Lawrence threw an interception in the second quarter that marked the moment the game turned into a laugh, and he finished the night 21 of 38 for 178 yards.

Lawrence hasn’t completed 60 percent of his passes in any of the team’s first three games, and the Jags have now lost the last eight games he’s started in. It’s not the kind of streak anyone expected from the first overall pick in the 2021 draft.

“I have to play really well for us to win,” Lawrence said, via the Associated Press. “That’s the NFL. The quarterback has to play well every week to give us a chance to win. I don’t feel like I’ve done that consistently enough. So I put that on myself.”

Lawrence’s lackluster debut season was dismissed as a reaction to Urban Meyer’s disastrous tenure as the team’s head coach, but that excuse no longer holds water. The Jaguars need to figure out what the real problem is if they want to avoid regretting building their future around Lawrence.
