What an exercise in duality Monday Night Football was this week.
Four teams, all with highly-drafted quarterbacks of differing levels of experience.
All four franchises completely dependent on the success of those quarterbacks.
And between them, bearing witness to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
The Alpha and Omega.
Jayden Daniels had a performance for the agesin just his third start.
Both through the air and running with the ball.
Then there was the other extreme.
Personified by the “Generational” No.
1 overall pick from four drafts ago.
Trevor Lawrence’s career has been in free fall for a while now.
you’ve got the option to’t.
The Jaguars just signed Lawrence to a 5-year, $275 million extension.
That victory should’ve been his Debutante Ball.
His Coming Out Party.
The moment he was announced into the polite society of elite signal callers.
Instead, he’s regressing before our eyes.
But that wasn’t the case last night when Lawrence was pulled.
And it might sound like I’m making excuses for Lawrence.
But how can you not hold the coach accountable when every aspect of the team is a Bruckheimerian disaster?
In fact, this is the perfect time to start questioning whether Pederson was ever a good head coach.
But it’s looking more and more like he just timed it right.
The novelty wore off what Pederson was doing in 2017 years ago.
The magic has worn off.
Faced with yet another impossible task yet another week.
With no solution to be had anywhere.
Given the stakes, I can’t imagine Pederson making it through to the end of the season.
Lawrence’s first coach Urban Meyer made it to Week 13 before he was fired.
Right now, I’d be shocked if his current coach lasts half that long.
