  • The Jaguars were 8-3 to start 2023 under Lawrence's leadership.
Yes, But

The comparisons between Lawrence and Bortles often overlook important context, such as the team's performance and circumstances during their respective tenures.

What's Next

If Lawrence continues to perform at a high level and remains healthy, Jacksonville could be a strong playoff contender in the future.

Bottom Line

Comparing Trevor Lawrence to Blake Bortles fails to acknowledge Lawrence's impact in leading the Jaguars to consecutive winning seasons, showcasing Lawrence's superior abilities and potential for success.
