Thu Sep 26 15:03:39 UTC 2024: ## Trevor Lawrence’s Struggles Cast Shadow on Urban Meyer’s Jacksonville Legacy
**Jacksonville, FL** – The Jacksonville Jaguars are off to a disastrous start to the 2024 season, with franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggling mightily and fans questioning if his performance is the real reason behind former head coach Urban Meyer’s infamous one-year stint.
Meyer was hired by the Jaguars in 2021 but was fired after a 2-11 record and a string of controversies. Many believe Lawrence’s underwhelming rookie year played a role in Meyer’s tumultuous tenure.
Lawrence’s struggles have continued into this season, with the Jaguars starting 0-3. He’s completing just 52.8% of his passes, with only two touchdowns and one interception.
Lawrence’s biggest problem, however, is turnovers. Since entering the league, he’s thrown 39 interceptions, the third-most in the NFL. Additionally, his 21 fumbles in 52 games are the most in the league since 2021 and a franchise record.
These struggles have placed current head coach Doug Pederson in a precarious position, as the Jaguars have lost eight straight games. They’ll face their AFC South rivals, the Houston Texans, this Sunday, September 29th, hoping to finally secure their first win of the season.
While it’s too early to definitively blame Lawrence for Meyer’s failed tenure, his consistent struggles raise questions about the future of the Jaguars and whether he can live up to his high draft pedigree.
