They are off. Haven't been a homer since I was a kid. Alex Smith and Matt Ryan were/aren't anything special.

Alex went through a rough stint with a revolving door of HCs and OCs in SF and by the time it "clicked" he was being phased out by his replacement while having success with Harbaugh. Had a redeeming stint with Andy Reid in Kansas City before once again being phased out by his replacement while having success with Reid.

Ryan has mostly been just a guy that's consistently put up solid regular season numbers with talent like Tony Gonzalez, Julio Jones, Roddy White and a few other players here and there but he could never really elevate his play to carry the franchise enough in big games.

Lawrence is pretty much destined for one of those two paths at this point. He'll get stuck with Meyer, who will throw the OC under the bus while they hover well below or right at .500 for the next two years and by the time Khan finally finds a solid replacement he'll be on his way out.

Or, he'll just get some pieces added around him, a better OC in the off season and start putting up better TD:INT numbers and win a few more games but nothing overly flashy.

He's not Rodgers/Manning/Mahomes/Brady/Brees level elite. He's mid range at this point for me. Competent coaching could get him to be great one week or two weeks in a row with the right pieces but if the gameplan isn't there or the talent is lacking like it is now?

He'll be more like Mayfield/Bridgewater/Ryan/Garropollo. Again, nothing flashy here.
