The Jacksonville Jaguars fell short of the playoffs in the 2023-24 season, with the team looking to bounce back next season and make a return to the playoffs.
To do so, the Jaguars will have to improve a ton this offseason and work to correct the things that caused their second-half-of-the-season collapse. Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson identified that Lawrence needs to improve on limiting turnovers.
“It’s the biggest thing that he has to focus on moving forward,” Pederson said. “We just can’t have this amount of turnovers. How we turn the ball over, where we turn the ball over, it doesn’t matter — we’ve got to protect the football. That’s the No. 1 thing.
For the quarterback, obviously, the person that touches the ball every snap, we got to make sure the emphasis is taking care of the ball,” Pederson said.
Lawrence is an excellent quarterback with a tremendous ceiling, but turnovers have been a big part of his story early in his NFL career. Since entering the NFL, Lawrence has thrown 39 interceptions and fumbled 33 times. If he can cut down the turnovers, he’ll contend for the top quarterback in the NFL.
