Take what the defense gives you. The majority of defenses this year has allowed our RB's the opportunity to have huge games and Pederson has done everything he can to avoid it. 
I sure hope Trevor has some really thick skin or he figures out his problems because he wont get any better if hes down on himself from these last 2 games. 

Trevor being young is something everyone is leaning on, about how he needs time because hes young. Well apparently you need to let Pederson in on this info because hes got him out here slinging the ball like Brett Favre. 

Maybe I'm not seeing the picture how he sees it, but what I can see is a team that very well could of won all of its games so far.

While Doug is light years ahead of the last guy regarding putting Lawrence in a good situation and utilizing our backs - it still comes down to his pass/run philosophy. 

He firmly believes that success with the pass is what is making our effective run game so effective. So he's going to keep throwing it in situations where more traditionally thinking fans would run it.
 Instead of going back to the well with run after run, he believes he needs to get back to a few completions in order to sustain the run game's effectiveness. 

There's definitely some real logic in there, but I would rather stick with what is working on the ground until it actually stops working - ESPECIALLY the the young QB is clearly having a bad day.

This right here is huge to me. I don't know what Trevors mind is like, but you've got a dude that was drafted 1st, being talked about as one of the best prospects ever and hes not looked the best as of yet. Blame Urban, blame age, blame whatever. He mentally went from the very top to near the very bottom with people questioning him right and left. Add in a super bad game against the Eagles, that is tough not to put the blame on him and Pederson for the L, then you go against a winless team and get beat at home? The kid isn't ready to lead this team to wins yet, but he does have the tools to be a very good qb, even right now. Feel like Pederson would be doing Lawrence and himself alot of good by shifting his gameplan towards the run and slowly implement Trevor instead of trying to make him the focal point when he isn't ready.



Also, I voted no because I haven't seen enough change in Lawrence from last year to this year yet to think he has what it takes to be a top 10 qb. Right now I feel like his ceiling is more of a top 15 qb in the league from years to come. That's not knocking him in anyway, he didn't choose to be the #1 pick and go through the Urban crap.
