Baker Mayfield

Liam Coen’s offense, which is loaded with principles from his four seasons with Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay, was always going to take time to implement with the Jaguars. Before the season, a source with knowledge of the system predicted it would take at least half the year before Trevor Lawrence felt comfortable, and that his trajectory might not truly begin to soar until 2026. Considering Coen’s success in 2024 with quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, along with the impression he left with two seasons at Kentucky, there was confidence Lawrence’s progress would be worth the wait.

The author pointed out the trend up may carry right through 2026 before we see the final result. It will be worth nothing for fantasy owners who may already be looking ahead to next season's draft rankings. Lawrence is very likely to climb QB ranks heading into drafts next summer. The story pointed out the trade for Jakobi Meyers and the return of TE Brenton Strange has helped everyone in the offense, even Brian Thomas Jr. who has mostly struggled this season. While the Jags are not dominating the run game, the author said the commitment to the run and the balance have helped the offense. Lawrence is also being used as a designed runner.
