'I'm not worried about that at all,' coach Doug Pederson said. 'We have a lot of faith and trust in him, and he can definitely do the job.'
"As a coaching staff, where we can help him is to where he can manipulate the defense with his eyes a little bit more, and still be able to find some underneath throws," Pederson said, making mention of a couple of Lawrence's deeper throws to tight ends Evan Engram and Dan Arnold on Sunday.
"You see how they took a young quarterback, struggled for a couple seasons, and then, bang. They’re right where they need to be," he said. Situations such as the Philadelphia Eagles with QB Jalen Hurts is another example Pederson cited. During Hurts' second season, and first year as the team's full-time starting QB, he completed 61.3 percent of his passes for 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions, while going 8-7 on the year .
Of course, there were mistakes defensively, though. The Jaguars were unable to bring down Texans running back Dameon Pierce at the end of the contest, resulting in several missed tackles on the Texans' only touchdown drive. After the game, Jaguars cornerback Shaq Griffin spoke about the team's leadership, particularly the youth on offense and the need, perhaps, for the defensive leaders to lend a hand on that side of the football.
"It's a lot of young guys who we're expecting so much from so we got to continue to help them, pick those guys up, and that's what we're gonna do. Our leaders have to step up a little bit more and we will."
