The problem, he states, is TL forcing it out of frustration. He also says the frustration is borne of impatience by not just TL, but by the fanbase, and most importantly, by the coaches.

With that being said, has anyone else noticed how the running game disappears somewhere in the 2nd quarter? It makes me think Doug is forcing Lawrence to get the ball downfield.

He also stated that Troy Aikman was a three-year project before he started making strides. Coach Campo preaches patience, it will come. Good to hear from him because I trust his opinion more than just about anyone else's.

YES.

This is what I've been seeing, too. When he settles in, and just takes what the D gives him, we move chains. When we try to force a big play to happen, we start going off the rails. If TL is in fact forcing things out of frustration, he and Doug and Press need to have a sit-down and work through this. If they are asking him to be something he isn't, it ain't gonna work. Figure out what works, and build within that blueprint.

The other day, someone brought up Josh Allen as a project that paid off, and I couldn't help but think how their fans/coaches dealt with the development. They understood. It was gonna take time to get him familiar with a serious step up in competition. While I didn't get a weekly dose of Bills football to gauge their level of (dis-)pleasure, I don't recall the wolves howling as he took his lumps.

Maybe our fans bought into the media hype. Maybe the fans just want us to forego future prospect and just sign an aging vet to play out the twilight of their career for a short chance to do something big. I dunno. But cripes, it's gotta be discouraging as all hell to play for a team that gets booed the minute the team struggles. My biggest fear is the kid does finally figure it out, but when time comes for a new deal, he does like everyone before him and asks to seek greener pastures. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Will see though. Wilson looks much better than Lawrence.

of all the posts out there, this is certainly one of 'em.
