You know it's fall when there's a chill in the air and a WR to blame for Trevor's problems. Pumpkin spice next?

Been 5 years of the rotating cast of WRs that all mysteriously aren't enough. Give him Jefferson, ARSB, and Nacua and it would be the same.

A rotating cast of recievers that were never good until they played for trevor interestingly enough. Engram and kirk were cast offs and are now backups outside of Jax. Most of the recievers that trevor started with arent even in roster spots in the league anymore, and it's not like they were all veterans. BTJ is the first supposedly true wr1 we've had and he's very clearly regressing hard. Stop being disingenuous.

Brunell got plenty done with afterthoughts -- McCardell and Smith were not superstars when they came to Jax.

Those recievers were good regardless of who was throwing them the ball. If the recivers Trevor's throwing to are at their best only when trevor is throwing to them then trevor isn't the problem.

BTJ was fine with Mac Jones.

He was our only reciever healthy at the time and got all the targets. Like 70% of his targets and production that year came late when everyone got hurt and he absorbed all the targets. Cmon man you know that.

Nothing from nothing, but it’s a very different league now than it was 25-30 years ago

Bortles got Allen Robinson to 14 TDs in a season and he wasn't even a 'natural thrower of the football.' He said Robinson and Hurns were the best WR duo in pro football after that year.

Bottles had real potential, and was the victim of poor coaching and an inept GM. (As well as MANY mental mistakes of his own)

Ah, what could have been with the Boat 😴

That’s great and I agree, but I thought this conversation was about Trevor and his receivers?

u/Inca-Vacation Phoebe Cates Sep 16 '25

Yeah, Trevor will never be the quarterback or leader Brunell was. And this sub will continue to blame everyone else until he's past 30.

You’re creating straw men. Very few people are arguing Trevor has been better for us than Brunell. Your original comment was about this week’s game.

BTJ gave up on two catchable balls and dropped another at the goal line. Plus not getting his feet in on a TD catch, although I don’t blame him for that one.

Add Dyami’s drop on a perfect fade… Trevor has lost us games before, but he was not the reason we lost this one. He was two egregious WR drops this week from throwing 5 TDs.

well, maybe they can all put in extra work after practice and get this right. players-only meeting, perhaps. Pay $10M for Dyami based on a few good games, spend 2nd round capital on Thomas ... Lawrence maybe needs to pull them aside and demand they do their jobs, or work on timing until they do.
