Trevor: Are we worried?

Personally, I don’t *think* I am. I’ve always been a bit of a Jags QB apologist, though. But I do have to admit this game was the first time I’ve found my optimism start to crack a little. For me, it’s an offense thing and not a Trevor thing. But yeah, I’ve been writing off the offensive stuff as unlucky mistakes keeping us from looking the way we should look. After yesterday, I’m wondering if we’ve been looking exactly how we should with the way the team is preparing every week. At some point the flukes become the norm if they’re consistent enough.

Calvin Ridley: What the hell?

I’ll admit I didn’t watch the whole game yesterday. I was behind because we had a family thing, so I watched till halftime and then checked the score on NFL+. I saw 33-3 and decided I didn’t really want to sit there and watch the 2nd half, which apparently went 23-0 for us, lol.

But unless Ridley suddenly looked great in the second half, what the hell is going on with this guy? We saw all the camp videos of his insane speed. Like I remember that clip of him running a route then Zay Jones, and he made Zay look like some scrub with how much faster he was. Then we get into games and I literally forget he’s there. He’s just invisible. Wtf?

Anybody with some football knowledge know what’s going on?

O-line: Are the 49ers just that good, or is our oline that bad?

We had a healthy oline yesterday and the half I watched made it hard for me to put much on Trevor’s shoulders (Like I said, I’m Mr. QB apologist. Sue me). What building blocks do we have if our o-line is really that bad? We could keep Cam, maybe? Little? The guard we traded for? Were we wrong for trading Jawaan last season, despite his penalties?

It’s frustrating watching this season because Trevor gets blamed for the lack of a deep passing game. Yet I watch other games all across the league and QBs regularly have time to stand in the pocket for 3-4 seconds a few times per drive. Yes, it’s not every play, but generally the big explosive passes come on those plays when the line holds up and gives the QB time. We *never* have those moments.

WRs outside Ridley: Who is worth keeping next season?

I love Engram and Kirk, personally. Zay has been kind of this clutch guy for 3rd downs and redzone, too. I always kind of assumed someone else would fill the role if Zay wasn’t there, but doesn’t it kinda look like we somehow just don’t have that clutch guy if Zay is injured? That makes me question whether we’d be better off choosing Zay over Kirk, for example, if we had to in the next few seasons.

With the way Ridley has been looking, it seems like we still need a WR1/X receiver kind of guy, too.

Obviously, there’s more stuff, but I was kind of curious to see where other Jags fans are on those topics. I won’t even bother asking about playcalling because I think we’re all agreed that it sucks.
