Nothing went well for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Saturday’s 20-0 loss to the Titans. That includes first overall pick Trevor Lawrence and the offense.
On Monday, head coach Urban Meyer revealed that the staff was close to pulling Lawrence, but ultimately decided against it.
Urban says there was a conversation about pulling Andrew Norwell as well as Trevor Lawrence yesterday (not a typo, I promise)

Per reporter Mia O’Brien, Meyer said there was a “conversation” about pulling guard Andrew Norwell, as well as Lawrence. However, the coaches decided not to because of “what’s best for development.”
Lawrence’s rookie growing pains continued on Sunday. The Clemson product finished the game 24-40 for 221 yards and four picks.

On the year, Trevor Lawrence is completing just 58-percent of his passes for 2,735 yards and just nine touchdowns to 14 INT’s. Though the top pick in last year’s draft is far from the only first-year QB struggling, it doesn’t make it any easier to watch for Jaguars fans.
Jacksonville’s offense has no identity. With little protection, few weapons and coaching dysfunction, the prodigious quarterback talent hasn’t had much of a chance to shine in sunny, Florida.
