Many people wondered if he would develop into the quarterback they thought he would be. Many analysts and fans were ready to write Lawrence off because of Urban Meyer's behavior in the football team. Lawrence and the Jags are off to a better start than last year, having won back-to-back games for the first time since the third game of the season.
There is a status on the website of the National Football League called "NFLRookieWatxh".
In just three games this year, Lawrence has become a completely different person. In the first three weeks of the 21st century, Lawrence had thrown five touchdown to seven interception, and Jacksonville was winless. In the same number of games this season, Lawrence has six scores to one loss with a 71.2 QBR, and the Jags are 1-2. Fans in Jacksonville can ask how good the sample is.
Lawrence isn't the first top pick to fail out of the gate. Everyone knows how his career turned out after he broke the record for most ints by a rookies in 1998. He is considered to be the greatest regular season quarterback of all time, even though he was the next big-time quarterback to hit the NFL.
The Jags made Urban Meyer their first head coach, which slowed Lawrence's growth. Doug Pederson is a former NFL quarterback and a Super Bowl-winning head coach. You can say what you want about Pederson as a coach, but you can't forget about the Super Bowl experience. It looks like something he has given to Lawrence is working.
Jacksonville won its last two games by big margins. In the first two weeks of the season, Lawrence threw for over 70 percent of his throws in victories against the Colts and the Bolts.
Lawrence is off to a great start this year. He looks like the person we have been expecting. The Jags will face the Eagles in Philadelphia in Week 4. The Eagles are in the top five in points scored. The two teams are in the top six in total yards. Pederson returned to Philadelphia as an opposing head coach. One more story to keep in mind.
If Jacksonville beats the Eagles this week, they will have a chance to win the division and become the favorites to win the Superbowl. The team that had expectations coming into the season was just beaten up by the Jags. They are supposed to take advantage of the favorable schedule in their first three games. They are one of only two teams in the league with a perfect record, but some people think they are a joke, while others think they are the best.
It would be the first time in 18 years that Jacksonville was at.500 or better. After a hot start, the Jags lost seven in a row. Jacksonville will be a tough team to beat this year if Lawrence keeps progressing. The Jags have a relatively easy schedule after facing Philadelphia. They won't face another good team until Week 10 against the Chiefs. The Jags play the Texans, Colts, Giants, Broncos, and Raiders before the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacksonville should win at least three more times this season.
I will be interested to see what Lawrence can do against the Eagles. In their last two games against the Vikings and Commanders, the Eagles haven't allowed more than eight points. TheJaguars should be able to do more damage than that Something special could happen with Lawrence and Jacksonville.
