This is a poor take. Yes Lawrence has continued to have his struggles, and often at the worst times, but you'd have to have quite a strong bias to claim he's not gotten much better in year 2.
2021 - 12 TD / 17 INT. 59.6 completion %. QBR 71.9
2022 - 17 TD / 6 INT. 65.6 completion %. QBR 92.8

I have no bias at all. I like Lawrence and could care less about Jacksonville.
I guess last year he was consistently mediocre and this year he’s been had some nice games and some really head scratching bad games. His overall stats might be a little better, he isn’t turning it over as much which is good, but still would say it’s been a disappointment this year and isn’t the jump you would like to see in year 2.
I’d compare it to John Calipari at Kentucky. Cal has fast tracked so many players to the NBA but only has one championship to show for it and you are measured entirely by championships at Kentucky. Day is fast tracking QBs to the NFL but can’t win when it matters (Michigan and bowl games).

Ryan Day Bowl Games:
2019 (L to Clemson 29-23 - got completely and utterly hosed by the refs in this one - pick 6 called back late in the game)
2020 (W against Clemson in compete blowout) (L in National Championship to Bama - half team out with COVID)
2021 (W against Utah in Rose Bowl)
What would you say.....ya do here?
That 2019 game was an incredibly coached game IMO. They came out on fire, Dobbins dropped 2 TDs, they got unlucky with that targeting call, and all those conspired to allow Clemson to hang around and eventually win. The gameplan was perfect though.
Day's teams have had offensive fireworks in bowl games when he has a month to prep. Hopefully that happens again.

This often gets left off when discussing that 2019 game. The Garrett Wilson catch, which was originally ruled out of bounds, then reversed. OSU was going fast and Dobbins had a massive run ahead of him when the official blew the play dead to review the catch. In that case OSU probably was better off just letting the original call standing.
That was one of those games where everything that could go wrong did. OSU was the better team, and by a lot IMO. So many turning points, and they all went against OSU unfortunately. The 2 dropped TDs were brutal. The targeting call game Clemson new life. It wasn't a dirty play, just unlucky. They were probably toast without that call. Incorrectly reversing the fumble call. Even the last INT in the end zone. The play was there, but just miscommunication between Olave and Fields.
That team was awesome. I wish we could have seen them play LSU
