The best they can do is design a system that covers that players lack of skill (field vision, anticipation, etc.) and boil the offense down to a one-read scheme.

Not saying that's where Lawrence is, just saying it's not always as easy as getting a new/great QB coach.

I actually kind of disagree with this to an extent.

The situation a QB goes to is far more important than their actual skillset. Is Mac Jones 9-4 as a starter if he goes to the Bears? Highly doubtful.

Then you add in elite coaching. Brees would be good but would he be elite without Payton? Mahomes is a HOF QB but is he as good without Reid?

There is no way to tell obviously but I think if these QBs end up on different teams, their career paths would look drastically different.
