My take on TL is yes he wants good pay, but he wants to win just as much.  He won in college and High school and now he wants to do that in the Pro's.  I suspect more than a few of his "mistakes" last year was out of frustration. Trying to make something happen when everything broke down, receivers were not where they were suppose to be etc.  I also do not believe he will even sign here if we do not field an o-line that is at least average.  So we can go draft CB's and WR's and edge players all we want and hope TL will make time somehow because he can at times. Then just wave goodbye as he moves on to a team that will protect him.

I find it strange that there was WR communication/route-running seemed broken at times throughout the year.  Being able to get on the same page, particularly during hot routes, is key to overcoming pressure and blitzes.  At the end of the day that responsibility has to fall down to the offensive coaching staff.  Seeing Lawrence and Ridley squawking/talking to each after an incomplete pass late into the season after having a full year to get that down is disappointing.
