From this point forward in these rankings, all of the quarterbacks have the benefit of playing in the same system for consecutive seasons, and they’re working with high-end play-callers. In other words, there’s a sizable gap between Nos. 5 and 6.

While Trevor Lawrence led the Jacksonville Jaguars to the postseason in a Pro Bowl campaign in 2022, he has struggled with consistency and turnovers.

As a rookie under former head coach Urban Meyer, Lawrence led the league with 17 interceptions. The Jaguars then replaced Meyer with Super Bowl-winning head coach Doug Pederson, which helped Lawrence in the short term.

In 2022, Lawrence led Jacksonville to a division title and a thrilled comeback victory over the Los Angeles Chargers during Wild Card Weekend. However, he regressed last year in another turnover-ridden campaign.

Still, the Jaguars signed Lawrence to a five-year, $275 million extension this offseason, which shows their commitment to his growth.

While Lawrence could do a better job of protecting the ball, he may not see a spike in his passing numbers in 2024 even with the offseason additions of Gabe Davis and rookie first-rounder Brian Thomas Jr.

Lawrence still has to build a connection with Thomas, who’s adjusting to life in the NFL. Meanwhile, Davis was a feast-or-famine playmaker who struggled to make a consistent down-to-down impact with the Buffalo Bills.

To avoid piling up turnovers, Pederson could rely more on Travis Etienne Jr. in the run game as Lawrence familiarizes himself with his new receivers.
