Lawrence is only half the equation. The offensive build is equally as important as drafting him.

Definitely. Lawrence looks a real talent, not just the best QB coming out this year, but of course he cant do it all on his own. You need to give him the tools to succeed. Just look how many playoff teams this year have a top coach and QB. 

We just need to be sensible, focus on players strengths, stop trying to put round pegs in squad holes. An OC that runs a system that suits Lawrence's playing style and build around that.

Look at some of the QBs who were drafted high in recent years. Goff, Wentz, Mahomes, Mayfield, Murray, all have had weapons bought in for them. 

We have a lot of problems on D that need to be addressed too and will be just as crucial to any success but just look at Aaron Rodgers to see a generational talent let down by his teams recruitment.
