The crazy thing is that the run game went from bad to practically non-existent at the same time. 

5 of our last six games (starting with the Cincinnati game)  had rushing team totals of:

71
58
75
37
82 

The panthers games was the only 100 yd rushing game in the final 6 weeks

Travis Etienne had 12 games this season wherein he did not eclipse 60 yards rushing. 
For a back of his talents - that is a heinous crime.

Circling back to thread topic :

My best guess is that after a lackluster season - Lawrence's agent may be inclined to wait a year on doing the mega deal so that it might be maximized.
It is also possible that they press forward with the current 3 year standard timeline for quarterbacks worth keeping. 
If so - it gets a bit tricky settling on numbers after ending the season so poorly. 

It will get done. Whether this year or the next has become the question.

Lawrence also had at least two games I believe where he lead the team in rushing yards. I know the Saints game was his for sure. There was one other game I want to say as well.

I think his deal gets done during the 2025 off season. It's to his advantage in my opinion. Baalke needs to get this offensive line addressed and addressed fast.

If they part ways with Robinson and Scherff, that's fine, BUT, you better make damn sure you have your free agency targets down and that you cannot be outbid.

I don't think, nor, should we trust Baalke to solve all of our offensive line and defensive line woes via the draft. He has to get it done in March in my opinion.
