Looks like Pederson saw many of the same Lawrence struggles and decided its time to rebuild him from the ground up.  He is treating this season as Lawrence rookie year so that should get us all excited.  If he was able to turn Wentz into an MVP candidate and win a Superbowl  With Nick Foles the man knows his stuff.     Good stuff in this interview

To clairfy, you did not catch a ton of flack for calling out his bad play. It was for calling him horrendous three games into his career. Unrealistic expectations were your downfall, the rest of us knew development was going to take time.

I don't know that we need to rebuild from the ground up, but if anything the offense itself needed drastic retooling. TLaw is absolutely a prime cog in that system, and has shown that he can adapt and do well with decent guidance.

This may also be a signal to the impatient fans out there (wink, OP) that immediate results may appear "horrendous", as some might say. Give it time before heading to the Modis. Young team, new coach, there will be some missteps along the way. That's ok.

...remember when we thought WR was one of our strengths?
