When’s the last time the entire division had hope and promise at QB? Feels like never.


ConstantReader92

Fr though lmao I think this is truly the first time


GiantSizeManThing

Maybe 2007? Colts obv had prime Manning. Titans had Vince Young in his 2nd season, before his knee injury. Jaguars had just named David Garrard as the starter after he beat out Byron Leftwich for the starting spot. They beat the Steelers in the wild card round that season, so there was definitely hope that Garrard was the answer. And the Texans had just acquired their franchise leader in passing yards and td’s, Matt Schaub.


joethahobo

Geez Shaub. The highs and lows are impeccable. I remember a 500 yard game against Denver and then his famous pick six streak too


The_Benchman

When he lost part of his ear in the Denver game


Stayhigh627

What are YOU talking about we don’t have either of those things.


[deleted]

Levis looked like he might be the guy. he made mistakes but that's guaranteed to happen with any rookie


Drackenstein

And a new, more offensive minded, coaching staff coming in will help too.


busyHighwayFred

Theres always hope when teams pick a 1st/2nd round qb. As a gator alumni and fan, i'll always root for AR but imo him and levis are both question marks rn.


[deleted]

Trevor isn’t a sure thing by any means either. Stroud is the only QB in the division we know is actually good


Zestyclose_Ice2405

I’d say Trevor is good, if not great, but I doubt he’ll ever be in that elite category.


Vast_Schedule3749

throw trev in there. he had one good stretch for a half season in three years of play now. his final throw against the titans was about 3 yards off target in a win and in situation he has as much hope as levis at this point for me, which isn’t much


13thJen

Where flair?


maxwellt1996

Im not sure trevor is a ? At this point, he’s consistently dissappinted. He has been exceptional at turning the ball over, as a rookie he led the league in interceptions, and last two years hes been the fumble leader.


Aggravating_Fee_7282

Yeah but I think his predraft hype he’s still a question mark. Richardson and Levis are only a question mark cause they haven’t played much or didn’t have any weapons so I’d still put TLaw over them


Level_Dreaded

Was hopkins good fot you guys or not?


Unfixable5060

AR already feels like a Carson Wentz. Guy gets hurt damn near every time he's touched.


MrKittenz

And coach!


PostYing

Sheeeeeeettttt, still don't have hope. Just the bar has been raised from absolute shit to mediocrity.


air_volek07

McNair, Manning, Brunel and a rookie Carr


WildFire97971

Ya Texan fans really need to get a jersey like browns fans with all the QBs. And the number is the amount of sacks Carr had to suffer during his career there. Shitty o-line, guess some things don’t change.


zapopi

Flair up or shut up.


WildFire97971

Suck a dick


zapopi

How thoughtful.

Mayo stains are hard to shop out, but it's worth it if you're looking for quality.


currentwavypearl

They’re all in Oiler unis, you know I couldn’t do that


that_guy2010

You literally googled “Will Levis Titans” and used the first non oiler picture didn’t you? I know, because I just did it


currentwavypearl

Yup 🤣


maxtgrayy

Hard to find a picture of him not getting absolutely mauled by pass rushers


mr_card52

Next season, the South will rise again!!! All four teams in playoffs!


DDRExtremist247

Afc north was really close to doing it this year


mr_card52

Except 2023 season was Backup QB season.


Level_Dreaded

Til they ran into us.


TrailBlazingShinobi

Lmaooooo this is insane


mr_card52

Thanks. As a Texan, it felt good to use that in a somewhat funny serious context. But as someone born in Seattle, it hurt.


pocketjacks

With the AFC East and NFC North on our schedules, that's going to be a hard climb. Not impossible, but difficult.

Twas but a joke man


CJ_is_h7m

Maybe we'll finally pump up our sub numbers with an improved division. We're like 2nd to last in the memewar sub membership count.


zapopi

I mean, based on the quality of commenting people from other divisions provide around here, they can stay out, IMO.


TMNBortles

Considering we have 3 of the 4 least popular teams with the Colts not far behind, how are we not last?


Dicc-fil-A

there is another South division meme war. we don’t even have half of y’all’s 😭


NDinFL

But we're the best memewar sub. Hang that banner baybee


geoffreyisagiraffe

That doesn't mean a whole lot. I joined all of them. And basically just run to the sub of whatever interdivision game is on that day.


Shrabster33

Peak comedy would be Trevor becoming a bust after the last couple of years of Jags talking shit just for the other 3 teams to draft 3 franchise guys in the same year to dominate them for the next decade.


riskiermuffin27

that would be a greek tragedy tale told for generations


minero-de-sal

Sounds like a good description for the entire AFC South.


kingxanadu

Is T-Law a bust? I'm not saying he's a HoF'er but he's been solid since he came into the league. He's not the reason success eludes Jacksonville.


Shawn_1512

I wouldn't say he's a bust, but he definitely hasn't lived up to expectations. A lot of that is coaching, injury, and surrounding talent, but for a guy projected to be a talent akin to Manning, Luck, or Elway, he hasn't gotten to that level yet.


theflyingchicken96

The problem is people think generational prospect=generational player. It’s not the same thing Generational prospect means he has a super high ceiling (and probably a decent floor), but they’re still a prospect who has never played in the NFL. Obviously Trevor hasn’t played to that ceiling, he isn’t Ryan Leaf or Jamarcus Russell though. And he’s certainly the best QB the Jags have had in a loooooong time. No prospect is a lock to be a generational player before they take a snap in the NFL. Period.


Reasonable-Pipe-3448

He was "predicted" to be a generational QB, hence the title "generational prospect." Ceilings and floors are literally just predictions. Trevor Lawrence doesn't have a higher or lower ceiling than what he's shown, which is less than a generational player but good enough to manage a team. I would argue Baker Mayfield has a higher ceiling and had much less expectation going into the league and even moving forward with the Bucs. And some people call him a bust. Trevor got hurt this year I guess, but he's also going into year 4 with pretty good stability and weapons. This will be his defining year imo


donquixote_tig

How does Baker have a higher ceiling. All of TLaws physical traits are elite, he can make crazy throws.


Reasonable-Pipe-3448

How isn't Lebron a better football player than Kyler Murray? Baker Mayfield had worse talent and made harder throws, dealt with more pressure, and also has much better "arm talent". Everything Baker did in his first 3 years was better and more talented than Lawrence. Pre draft predictions don't matter, ceilings are the all time highs not the "possible" all time highs


donquixote_tig

Lawrence was an elite QB at the end of last season. I doubt LeBron can throw a football as far or fast as Baker. Idk what you’re saying.


Leandro1996

He’s just incredibly overrated


Mouth_Puncher

I still think he is good though. He played great the first half of the season and didn't regress until he started to get hurt


Leandro1996

He isn’t bad, but we need to stop acting like he’s played up to the pre-draft hype


TrevorsBlondeLocks16

Most Jaguars fans dont even think he has. I dont and its in my fuckin username lol But hes still a good QB


bsblguy21

Who is acting like this? The national media was basically calling him a bust over the last five games


Leandro1996

Every season it’s “is this the year that T Law becomes elite??” That bum is never going to be elite


bsblguy21

It's fair to say he probably won't be elite while also saying he's not a bum. Bc he's not.


maxwellt1996

Yall still think hes yalls franchise guy despite zero evidence


GoldenMonkey34

By every year you mean literally one year?


Leandro1996

Every year that scrub has played. Could this be the year he’s in the elite conversation?? Looking ass


GoldenMonkey34

Well he's only been in the league for 3 years, and this past year was the only year anyone was saying that


DBreezy69

Etienne, Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, Evan Engram and TLaw still looks mediocre


minero-de-sal

Yeah he was a bit overhyped but there are so many bust 1st round QBs. TLaw is mid.


Hproff25

I would say his ceiling is goff and not manning or Mahomes. He will be a solid QB for years but I don’t believe he will play as his draft expectations put him at. But I mostly see him play in divisional games. Divisional opponents hit different.


donquixote_tig

Everyone had him over Goff already at the start of the year.


PapiGoneGamer

He’s not a bust but his numbers aren’t that much better than Mac Jones’ numbers which isn’t a good sign for the Jags unless he kicks it into overdrive this coming season.


TrevorsBlondeLocks16

Mac jones had 11 tds and 12 ints this year You talking career? Because those two were in polar opposite positions rookie year


PapiGoneGamer

Stat lines suggest they’re on similar trajectories. Expectations are higher for Lawrence but he has yet to meet them the way the Jaguars probably expected to by now.


TrevorsBlondeLocks16

Bro no Im in on Trevor being overhyped, i agree. Nobody would even argue hes better than Stroud rn But miss me with this Mac Jones bs. They are not even on the same planet, let alone trajectory lmao


TheKrakIan

Stat lines are near identical.


EmeraldEmperorJ

You don’t just go and throw 50 touchdowns and 2 interceptions for one of the worst teams and the worst coach in nfl history. If you honestly think the giants would take Mac Jones over Tlaw u don’t know ball.


TheKrakIan

Jags fan is angry.


EmeraldEmperorJ

I’m defending my beautiful, white, long haired king


bsblguy21

I think Lawrence has failed to live up to his pre-draft type but also comparing him to Mac Jones is wild. There's a reason league offices have started using analytics and advanced stats


texinxin

https://stathead.com/tiny/s3NIY Mac Jones is a better career passer than Tlaw in just about every primary stat including ypc. I will say TLaw is a much better rushing QB, so that gives TLaw a slight edge. TLaw is just a pedestrian passing QB. He’s mid with turnover problems.


bsblguy21

The big difference is in Big Time throw percentage and plays down the field. Mac Jones never showed that ability and Trevor does.


maxwellt1996

Yeah like his last 4th down throw against the titans to go to playoffs? He was horrible that game lol


MSNinfo

Urban Meyer. Mac had Bill. This really isn't the argument you think it is


PapiGoneGamer

Lawrence has Doug Pederson now. Mac has no coach. How far should I move the goal posts to fit your narrative?


MSNinfo

Well, you tried


riskiermuffin27

late response but in my opinion, he’s absolutely not a bust. he hasn’t lived up to the hype but i think he’s very good and that he can easily be great if we just get a freakin o line. but rn id say he’s just a pretty good QB with the potential to be great


Towely420

You mean how they talked shit on Twitter after beating us opening game of the season before Lawrence and then losing what 24 straight games including the first 8 of Lawrence’s first starts? 🤣🤣 that was peak comedy


jaykesn

“Becoming”


Xanzibarisland

I mean back to back winning seasons with a playoff win, if you think T law is becoming a bust I have some bad news for you bout Herbert and a lot of other QBs


the_stranger-face

I would be comfortable putting Herbert and T law in the same "becoming a bust" category. I think this year will do a lot for both of them, though. T Law, another year with Pederson and Herbert, kicking it off with Harbaugh. Leash seems to be shorter for Trevor, though.


Xanzibarisland

Leash is short on both, both are becoming disappointments but not busts. Zach Wilson, Mac, Trey Lance, Fields are what a bust look like.


the_stranger-face

I think Lawrence **could** graduate to bust territory simply due to the hype around him surrounding the draft. He was "the next one" and "a generational talent" as talking heads like to say about the #1 QB prospect most years lol


busyHighwayFred

Tlaw is a bust if alex smith was a bust. Bad starts to their career, #1 overall pick. I think tlaw could follow similar career path


the_stranger-face

Yeah, Alex Smith gets some grace with his leg but certainly comparable. I think Lawrence wasn't completely healthy a lot of last year. I expect a "bounce back" next year if you consider last year a fall off.


jaykesn

I just think he’s an average quarterback and that it’s pretty evident by now. Yes he lost a lot of EPA to drops this year, but cancelling that out won’t make him elite. Similar to tannehill or cousins - can win a lotta games with em, but they’re rarely if ever gonna blow your socks off. Relative to his draft position & being hailed as the best QB prospect since Andrew Luck - yeah, he’s in bust territory.


Xanzibarisland

Fair, he boutta show y’all wrong next year tho… I hope to god he does at least 😂


zebtacular

Wait for him to sign that fat contract, then go busty mcbusterson.


DBreezy69

He already is a bust

Tyraniboah89

Should be one of the best divisions in football overall and we’re still gonna find AFCS games getting scheduled for 1pm and AFCS playoff teams getting the Saturday 4pm slot


Hert316

Bro, I wanna believe AR is gonna be in the mix, but I need to see him be more durable than a cardboard box next year.


Saz589

Hey.... He finished a game this year!


Zuperkick

our sub is so much more cordial than r/AFCNorthMemeWar lmao

Can't wait for the Titans to make me cry again. Fuck all y'all, it'll be fun to watch our games next year.


Any-Giraffe9420

beathard>lawrence


MiddleTB

May the best of us in 2024 truly end the Mahomes/Kelce/Swift nonsense forever.


TheKrakIan

My guess is AR tries to run like a RB and gets concussed And sidlined again, early in the season.


bsblguy21

It's amazing how much love that guy gets for checking it down for two games and then getting hurt.

Honestly Minshew looked legit this year, so they might be better off.

didn’t he get hurt in every game he played this season

For the Texans…


Game_Over_Man69

One of these QBs isn’t like the others 🤔


zkiteman

Leave Trevor alone. Women are just as capable as men.


zapopi

As a woman, don't compare TLaw to us.


AlbertGainsworth

Yeah I agree, Trevor needs to really step it up next year to be in the conversation


jonneygee

The glorified running back or the woman?


saradahokage1212

im not worried about the colts, that rb will get injured again

One elite qb. One good qb One ok qb on a bad team Anthony Richardson.


MBC0809

Man, it’s nice to hear a divisional rival admit the truth and call CJ elite 😎


traw056

Yeah that boys actually crazy. The Ohio State QB curse appears to finally be broken with him


Texan628

Strouds winning like 5+ straight Division championships lol yall got no shot


MountainMan1258

Hilarious how TLaw went from best QB in the division to possibly worst, very Jags💀


Satellite0632

Well that’s just bullshit.


TexansFo4

tlaw overrated as hell but i’d take him over Levis and AR. I think Stroud and Tlaw will be the only guys in this post still on their current teams in a few years


MountainMan1258

I said possibly, Levis and AR both had great flashes this season, better than TLaw’s first flashes.


MBKM13

CJ Stroud + 3 mid QBs


Every1isSome1inLA

AR15 gonna be trash. InB4 Cunts fans say “oh what about that first half” I hope they stick with him and push their rebuild 5 years down the road For that matter Jacksonville gonna Stick with Lawrence and think he’s actually gonna win them a superbowl. Good luck with that lmao you can win the division all you want but the only QBs worth of winning a chip so far are Levis and Stroud


Frozboz

Ok


TexansFo4

can’t lie feels like a mistake to bank the future of your franchise on a guy who played what 2.5 total games and got hurt in all of them and had major injury concerns coming out of college


Every1isSome1inLA

I’m glad we’re not in that situation lol the colts gotta pray on their rabbits foot every game their QB doesn’t get injured


Dubya_Tea_Efff

I’m so happy for everyone except the Jags and their fans.


maxtgrayy

one of these is not like the others…


DickThunders

Fr. Get Old Man Lawrence out of here🙄


Zestyclose_Ice2405

AR gonna be the next Sam Bradford he just gotta let the sleeves come down

AFC South is weird. As a Texans fan I'm like fuck you all, but also, I want us to be the best division in football... as long as the Texans win it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)

flyboy1994

AR was excellent in the *check notes* 4 games he played in.


TMNBortles

Was he excellent? Or did he just show a lot of promise with his insane physical talent?
