You guys are funny. It wasn't a greta game at all and he left some plays on the field. But he also made a lot of good plays as well. You think the Bengals are looking for Joe burrows replacement after today?

If you recall, most of the pressure early on came from Washington rushing wide. They were not allowing him to roll out of the pocket AT ALL. This is what made our offense look so horrific after the first drive. Doug stopped that by half-time and didn't do it at all in the second half. Pretty much the only time TL left the pocket was when he was forced out or backpedaled instead of stepping up. Personally, I would have caused some QB draws to exploit that, but I understand why you might not want to do that with your star QB. TL can improve, but I think Doug made the right adjustments, not the wrong ones... at least as it pertains to getting TL out of the pocket.I don't think his approach or adjustments made with Lawrence were wrong. I think his lack of approaching the redzone with two competent runningbacks and getting them a lot more involved in general was wrong.
That said, I think people on here are too hard on TL generally speaking. I am empathetic to TL's first overthrows. If you've ever played QB, adrenaline is a real problem early in the game. That normally goes away after your first few games. He's still new, but he HAS to fix that. Also, my concerns for him coming out of college are still valid: He tends to miss a more open guy for one that the play is designed to go to, and he still doesn't throw his receivers open. I don't know how much of the former is on the coaches, but the latter HAS to change.
I don't know if he'll ever be a generational talent, but some of you guys have a short memory. He throws a MUCH better ball than any QB we've had in a long time, and it's not like there are a bunch of QBs out there that can replace him. My hope is that we see week to week improvement under Doug, and that some of these passes aren't TL missing the open receiver but being hamstrung by the coaches early on.
That pass he made to end the game was really the only terrible play made by TL that is inexcusable. I still think he underestimates the speed of defensive linemen in this league. Those boys are FAST. The rest of his mistakes are growing pains, imo. Hope he works this stuff out. Still, we could have won this game with his play if not for leaving some points on the table.
15 carries for Robinson and Etienne combined? With just 4 for Etienne? That's gross. You can tell Doug was absolutely a QB with the play calling today. LOL.
Again, not going to kill him over one game. But, when you're seeing really, really good runs out of your better players on offense? Keep it going.
Funny enough. Your concerns with Lawrence not being able to throw his receivers open could be potentially alleviated when a defense has to cheat up and respect the running game. It was an obvious fix today and glaringly overlooked.
Offensive line couldn't handle the pass protection duties consistently enough but they were creating wiggle room in the running game. Keep running it until they stifle it or get ahead of it with heavier formations.

It's not fair to look at him in the sense of "this is his 2nd year, he should be performing considerably better at this point" when for all intents and purposes, this *IS* his rookie year.
To put it in perspective, if this was his rookie debut today, people would probably be a lot more positive. But because he's already a year in, he's held to higher scrutiny.

The media set this narrative up and planted this seed years ago. He's not a random flyer at the QB position from some questionable QB class.

Notice Cam gets destroyed, Bartch does absolutely nothing, Fortner gets bull rushed to the ground which takes out Scherff. 3 of our OL on the ground as soon as Lawrence hits the last step of his drop back... Not good.

Kid shows a little improvement even missing 2 TD throws early. I was hoping for a bit more to be honest. Our O-line needs to improve a bit, but with all the new faces they have yet to jell.

Good tackles in the biggest moments of the game has to protect their QB. Little actually blocked 2 guys on that play. The RT position was probably the best oline spot yesterday. The only play I can think of was the penalty on Little when he first came in, other than that the RT spot was solid. Scherrf had a decent game

The line also has to give him a pocket much more often.
I still think he'll get it dialed in. I have more faith in TL than the 5 guys in front of him right now.
