I think everyone would agree he hasn't been a top 5 qb. But he is somewhere between 5-15 and in my mind somewhere closer to 10. Yes there are things he needs to improve on (turnovers, accuracy at times, ability to feel pressure better, etc...). However finding a guy who is better isn't going to be easy. For crying out loud we spent the last 15 years trying to find someone better than Garrard of all QBs. Dump Lawrence after next season and we could easily go another 15 years in the basement. He may never become the guy who can carry an average team with a terrible oline. But I do think he can carry a good enough supporting cast to a deep playoff run. Fix the interior oline and I think the offense takes off.

If possible I'd try to do a deal this offseason. Obviously it has to be in line with how good he has been. He doesn't deserve burrow level contract.
