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.

I think it says more about the coaching staff and who they trust in those situations. Trevor made some goofy mistakes last year when we were at the goal line, and now we've seen more rushing attempts and with ETN it's been working so why stop? I think overall passing TDs isn't an important stat. Ryan Tannehill had 33 td 7 ints a few years ago, looks good on paper but when you dig deeper you'd notice he had under 4,000 passing yards (which typically wouldn't happen when you have 33 td passes) Reason being, Derrick Henry was the guy who had that offense going up and down the field with over 2k yards, and the reason Tannehill had so many passing attempts once in striking range was because they had AJ Brown who is a DOMINANT goal line WR. 

I'd be more worried about Trevor if he finished the season with 30 TDs and 3,000 yards than I would if he finishes with 25 TDs and 4000 yards.

Last year's picks factor absolutely zero into their decision to throw or not throw on short yardage and goal to go plays this season, and I am willing to wager my own body parts on that statement.

But please, keep revisiting the same tired argument to prove you're not worth paying attention to. Thanks for the reminder.
