    Does it make sense for the Jaguars to bring back QB?

    Pabio Posted on

    The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t found much to celebrate all season. With injuries to players who were brought in to make this Jaguars team successful, defensive miscues, and costly penalties, the Jaguars season was one to remember for the team.

    I don’t know how long Trevor Lawrence shoulder injury will sideline him, backup quarterback Mac Jones slipped into the starting role in Week 10. Not being able to help the team defeat the Minnesota Vikings, is- Does it all fall to Mac Jones?

    Jones has played in three games this season and has only started once. While the team had some time during practice to find some chemistry with Jones, the offense looked bleak during game day.

    Scoring just one touchdown the entire game, could bringing Jones back next year be considered for this Jaguars quarterback situation?

    Jones proved to be a reliable quarterback during his years with the New England Patriots, where he averaged 2,972 passing yards in three seasons with the team. So far in his career with the Jaguars, he has a 64.5% completion rate and 139 passing yards.

    Now in his age 26 season, Jones is just one year older than current starting quarterback Lawrence. If this Jaguars team wants to continue with a young core, Jones fits that narrative. The average age of the Jaguars team is 25.9 years old.

    Jones will enter free agency at the end of the season unless the team pulls the trigger on a contract extension. Whether this contract extension lasts about a year, this Jaguars team has taken a considerable step back in its development as a whole.

    There will be a considerable number of free agent quarterbacks this offseason, where the Jaguars could look to replace Jones if his production for the remainder of this campaign is lackluster.

    While Jones’ extension could be part of the team’s future plans, it’s not the most important topic for the Jaguars. Jaguar’s goal is to find a action plan to save their seasonand not be labeled as one of the worst teams in the 2024-25 season.
