I take the middle ground on this issue.  I don't think he should never run, but he should do it sparingly.  I am concerned that we may be pressing our luck if we do it too often and he'll get hurt.  Do it occasionally to throw the defense off and also maybe do it when it is really needed such as to get a first down or there's an opportunity for a really big pickup, etc.

This is my thought as well. I hate seeing QB's run, but when you have an athletic rookie QB, let him make some plays with his legs to build up his confidence. Once he gets to the point where he is more comfortable throwing the ball from the pocket, wean him away from running as often in order to avoid injuries. The last thing we need is for our franchise QB to get seriously hurt, running unnecessarily. Especially a guy as lean as Lawrence. I'd still like to see him add 10-15 lbs. to his thin frame to cushion some of those hits.
