LAMM AT LARGE: Jaguars record prediction

todaySeptember 8, 2021

Background

I think most Jaguars fans are realistic even if they don’t want to admit it.

Talk of Coach Urban Meyer and rookie QB Trevor Lawrence producing 8-10 victories and maybe a playoff team are not realistic. Maybe in a year, probably two, that’s a reasonable possibility, but this season it’s about some improvement. That shouldn’t be difficult after going 1-15.

Traditionally, the best QBs need a year in the league before playing well. Rookie head coaches generally struggle, too. Who knows what to expect from a rookie head coach who’s never coached a day in the NFL?

The roster looks better with Lawrence and several free agent signings. How much better may depend on avoiding any more injuries. Already losing Travis Etienne hurts.

Seven victories would be a success. A 5-12 record is more likely.
