Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has apparently heard the criticism sent his way during the Jacksonville Jaguars’ five-game losing streak.

“No matter who you are, youre going to face criticism, especially when you dont feel like youre not playing your best,” Lawrence explained during a press conference, as shared by Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “I dont feel like Ive played my best the past couple weeks.

“When were playing well, Im going to get too much credit, and when were not playing well, were losing some games, sometimes I get too much blame. Sometimes though, its warranted. I know I haven’t played my best. It just is what it is. Its part of the job, part of this game. Ive got a lot of faith in myself and this team. I just block that out and do my job the best I can every day, and I can do that better, no doubt. I know moving forward I will, so Ive got a lot of confidence in that.”

Lawrence made his comments after retired NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick mentioned during an Amazon Prime Video media session he believes the first overall pick of the 2021 draft has “regressed” during the campaign. Fitzpatrick also said that Lawrence “needs more alpha in him” to reach the expectations many had for the 23-year-old even before he was drafted.

“I just think that, obviously, some things happened, I didnt play my best ball, and thats disappointing, but as far as just moving on, I think thats something that Ive learned in the past year and a half, and even before that is just the importance of being able to do that because you cant get that play back,” Lawrence added about his performance in last Sunday’s 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos that dropped the Jaguars at 2-6 on a once-promising season.
