They're 2 - 6 and struggling to find consistency on offense within the red zone and with the defense in the 4th quarter of closely contested losses. I wouldn't say that they don't care about this year. I just see this being apart of making good business since. Atlanta was looking to sell. We were looking to buy. 

Look at the compensation outlined for that trade. It's heavily incentive based and in the grand scheme of things? It's a win-win whether he succeeds or fails. The more he succeeds? The better our overall record more than likely, which should translate well for Lawrence's future and development as a QB. 

We didn't have to fork over real valuable draft picks to get him. Which still leaves plenty of room to address the issues that are plaguing this team now as a 2 - 6 football team. We need better push from the front of the defense, we need better play from the secondary. We need viable threats on the outside receiving wise.

They still need to be aggressive with their receiver room but this is a great start.

Agreed on both fronts. It's a good start in the right direction. It shows a firm commitment. They still need to double down on the position in the draft. There's a lot of tall, 50/50 receivers in this draft and they should be in ample enough of position to land one or two of them based on this year is shaping out to be.
