Urban almost destroyed TLaw, imo.. And I have 100% faith that Pederson will make it right. Pederson knows what his QB needs to be successful and he's already shown major improvements over Urbs "coaching"..

I think people are forgetting just how bad last year was for Lawrence. First game at Houston they had him throw nearly 50 times, the D was terrible early on so often found ourselves down by double digits in the first Q so started going pass heavy early. Meyer never used Robinson effectively as Hyde was his guy and I think Meyer took Lawrence two steps back if anything. Like you say he wasn't even taking all first team reps in preseason yet was Week 1 starter.

I certainly see this as Lawrence's first real year as a QB and actually learning how to be an NFL QB. He got none of that last year. And its Week 5! Still a lot of season left to play and improve and the coaches are learning what this rosters strengths and weakness are, not just Lawrence's.
