Agreed. We need to go all in on offense next off season. A lot easier to pressure a QB when you hang 14 or 17 points on them early and force them into catch up mode. This offense can do that with Lawrence and Pederson. Just need to give him a little bit more time in the passing game and another viable and explosive receiving threat or two. All I want to hear next year is how hard it is to get all this great talent out on the football field at the same time with Lawrence for him to pick you apart with.

There's a ton of evidence from the past and presently that supports this path of developing your top flight QB. Polian built his team around Manning offensively early and often. The Jets did it for Wilson. The Patriots did it last year for Mac Jones at the TE position. Miami went up to bat for Tua and it's paying early dividends. Philadelphia went out and built around Hurts, etc.
