Lawrence struggling here shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. He was tasked with leading a 1 - 15 team with no talent on it. The roster was gutted with Caldwell on his way out and the draft picks he made the previous year were not all that great. Bartch and Allen are about as good as it gets. I don't think the offensive line has played that bad this year. They just seem to get penalized a lot. Again, nothing new there as it was an issue with Marrone as well. Nothing changed personnel wise.

Your best receiver is a FA that wasn't a number one receiver to begin with skill wise. Your 2nd best receiver was Agnew, a rookie learning the position after playing CB. Chark can't stay healthy. Shenault either has bricks for hands or is not being properly schemed by the coaching staff. Which, this is where the majority of my frustrations are fixing to be rattled off about it.

Bevell.... sucks. He's not doing enough IMHO. Meyer.... also sucks. He's not doing enough to takeover the games and get his rookie QB out of a hole. Not enough drive starters. One game they're using the RPO and spread formation, which works, then, the next? It's predictable, flat and boring football. Robinson was underutilized all year before the injury. The lack of getting him involved in every aspect of the game bothers me. Very rarely do we see any efforts being made with RB and TE screen plays or swing passes, anything, something, just something short, sweet and simple to start a drive.

Khan needs to throw Meyer and Bevell out. I would keep Cullen and I would keep Schonttenheimer but they need to be pursuing Kellen Moore out of Dallas in the off season along with Brian Daboll out of Buffalo to try and get them over here to head coach the team. I'll throw Greg Roman from Baltimore and Eric Bieniemy out there as well from Kansas City.

At least they seem like they know what they're doing in the NFL from a scheming perspective. They would probably call their own offense as the head coach. So far though, just not a fan of Meyer and Bevell. Wasn't a fan to begin with. I think they made an colossal error by not firing Marrone a year earlier and going after Kevin Stefanski before Cleveland landed him in 2020. Ultimately, as many others have pointed out or cited.

Lawrence was doomed from the beginning. At least in 2021 he was. This roster still has voids to fill, not holes, VOIDS. As it's completely devoid of any substantial talent. I think they should have kept Minshew on the roster for this year, let Lawrence sit, let him learn slowly from the sideline and then maybe had given him the reigns NOW around this this time of the year instead of giving Minshew away to the Eagles for nothing in return.

They need to build around him the way Polian built around Manning. Hopefully Baalke can trade down with what will probably end up being a top 3 - 5 pick at this point. Unless they're convinced Kyle Hamilton is the next Sean Taylor or better at Safety or Jordan Davis is a stronger and better version than Marcus Stroud potentially? I don't like the idea of them going anywhere near defense in next year's draft outside of those two players.

Prefer they target Traylon Burks, Drake London & Justyn Ross at WR. I actually like Dan Arnold at TE but having another viable receiving threat over there with him like Jalen Wydermyer, Trey McBride or Jake Ferguson would be helpful during his young career. Hopefully Etienne is ready to go next year as well at RB. They just have a ton of work to do across the roster.

Zion Johnson at G and Jarrett Patterson at C would be great additions as well. Assuming Walker Little takes over Cam Robinson's job in 2022. Jawaan Taylor is showing you why he fell out of the top ten discussion from his draft class as well. Just not living up to his potential or his frame overall. Gee, shocker, another flounder landed out of the Florida Gator program.
