And Etienne is playing great right now. 3 games in a row with 2 TD's. If we are scoring TD's with the run game it doesn't mean that Lawrence can't.

Don't you mean it does mean that Lawrence can't? As he can't physically score a TD on a drive where we run it in. I feel like team TD would be a better stat, maybe Lawrence needs to start tap passing it forward on run plays to pad those stats.

We also saw with Lamar on Sunday, eventually all the drops stop and regress to the mean and you get a game where everything just works and suddenly he's in the MVP race. Not that it matters but for purely the purpose of getting credit I suspect Trevor will have a game like that at some point (probably not against the Steelers though!)

Not at all. It would be ridiculous to force passes just to get Lawrence's stats up. If we're on the 2yd line and they can't stop Etienne then that's what you do. I don't see Lawrence's as a guy that has an ego or demands so his stats look good, he wants to win and if that's on him then he can do that, if its on the run game then he will do that or if its a mix of both then he'll do that.

It only seems to be fans who are obsessed with how many yards and TD's he throws and if he doesn't hit a certain number then he's not playing well.

The only stat Lawrence will care about is we are 5-2.
