The haters wouldn't be vindicated, they'd be shown to be ignorant.

I agree for the most part, but there has to be some QB accountability at some point.  If the QB goes through 4 seasons with his strongest performance being the 2nd half of the 2nd season, there is something there that is not working.  If you look at Andrew Luck's career, he notoriously had the worst possible Oline, was constantly banged up, but still managed to keep his TD to INT rating reasonable.  Now Lawrence doesn't have to be Luck, but there is a level where you have to decide that the QB isn't elevating his team.
