You gotta respect our QB.  He's tough as nails.  It's a shame that he has trash coaching.  I kept telling ya'll.  It's the coaching staff that has messed up our franchise QB.  Yeah, Baalke has to go too.  He's garbage as well.  But Pederson and his idiot OC has completely ruined the last 2 seasons.

Lawrence doesn't slide because Lawrence has passion and wants to win.  Unlike the coaching staff and front office.  I'm so sick and tired of having to point out the obvious.  We all know what's wrong with this team.  And it's not the QB.  It's the freaking coaching, and it's the GM as well.  But we have a team here that is far better than 2-7.  This coaching staff is trash.

With wisdom comes knowing when to hook or when to dive. At the goal line, fight for that yard. At the 42, feet first, buddy.

There's a time and a place for hero ball.

^ this.  If you count as a passer, you're down at the point where you initiate the dive/slide.  If you count as a runner, then you're no longer protected by the QB rules and you're diving into a DL/LB/S head first.

I also think proving you're a "tough" QB is an old-school and outdated mentality. Short of winning a Superbowl in the last second, it's much more important to get up and play the rest of the game/season than getting an extra yard.
