There's a new false narrative surrounding Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence

In the NFL, the more drama, the better. Really, you could say the same for any sport or even any television show. Because at the end of the day. The NFL season is a TV show. Each season is a new season, and each episode is a new week. It's the greatest TV on right now. So, you expect some drama or false narratives. This year, they surround the Jacksonville Jaguars of all teams.
The narrative now seems to be about Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars starting quarterback they took with the No. 1 overall pick a few years ago. He had an amazing season last year and took that next step as far as his game. However, he hasn't played as well this year.
As we have said many times, this is the result of a bad offensive line, a bad offense in general, and scheming issues. The Jaguars don't take many shots downfield, which has made Lawrence predictable. Last week, before the 49ers game, Nick Bosa may have hinted that all you have to do to beat Lawrence is take away his first read.
On Sunday, that worked for them. Now, we have others saying that on the Titans, which means this is becoming a narrative that simply isn't true. In a way, it is true because there have been times that Lawrence will go directly to his first read on occasion after occasion. But that's not all his fault.
The offensive line has been very bad, and with the second-worst time to throw in the league- 2.4 seconds on average- he only has time for his first read. He would make the rounds among the reads if he had enough time in the pocket before becoming pressured or hit. But he doesn't.
On Sunday, if the Jaguars want to get their offense going, it will need to start with the offensive line. If they can give Trevor Lawrence time in the pocket, he can go through his progressions easily. Then, we could even see some shots downfield.
