TL is wading into those waters right now. That game has to be the absolute last one for him to stink that bad. If he has another one, I'm afraid it will cast an unshakable shadow of doubt on whether he has the goods.

Agreed. I'm still on the Lawrence train and have faith he'll be better as the season goes on and better again next year but there's plenty he needs to improve. My main worry from last year with Meyer was Lawrence losing that confidence he came out of college with and at times last year he looked like he had the world on his shoulders and it looked different this year but the last 2 weeks have been bad for him. How a player responds to these moments let's you know what you have. Everyone has bad games but the spotlight on QB's is 10 times any other position and I don't want to see him trying to do the 10 things the coaches are trying to get him to correct but playing fast and using instinct.

He's still a talent and the best we've had at QB for a while but I want to see him have that confidence and swagger.
