From the episode

The problem, he's not a very good fit for Trevor Lawrence because Trevor Lawrence needs to be throwing between the numbers. He can't throw outside the number like he literally is. He was awful in that Denver game outside the numbers.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Lawrence's between-the-numbers preference limits Thomas' perimeter downfield strengths.

Brian Thomas Jr. is not a good fit for Trevor Lawrence because Lawrence needs to throw between the numbers and struggles throwing outside the numbers; Lawrence was awful throwing outside the numbers in the Denver game, and Thomas' strength as a perimeter downfield receiver outside the numbers is underutilized in Jacksonville's scheme, limiting his volume and efficiency despite his skill set.
