Tannebaum's take about it being a "historically great opening" rings true.

If you're a general manager in the making. He's right. Plenty of cap space. No concerns with paying Lawrence a veteran level salary. Decent positioning in the draft coming up.

It make sense on paper. There's also the fact that you're coming in to undo one bad year of football that the owner [BLEEP] the bed on.

So, they need you a little bit more than you need them. You also get a pass if you think about it. You're being asked to fix a team that's won just three games so far over the last two years.

If Lawrence doesn't pan out towards the end of next year or show signs of improvement early in year three when you added players, coaches, etc.

You get a pass. You could potentially end up replacing Lawrence and pinning it all on him. It'll be interesting. It's just a matter of:

A. Who the hell wants this challenge?
B. How fast can you turn it around?
C. What's your back up plan?

I find it interesting that Lawrence will or wants to have a say or sit in with the next coach hiring.

I am on the fence with that approach. Matter of fact. If I am on the opposite end of the table I am going to counter question by asking "Do you mind if I trade, draft or sign a QB that I like then? Because, apparently i'll have to have a separate offense being ran system wise with another guy incase you get hurt at some point".

He's not Rodgers, Mahomes or Brady. Let's pump the brakes on being entitled.
