Someone might be able to fit him into a system where they get very good results;
but unlike Herbert, he will not be someone who can elevate the level of of the offense.

I could not disagree with this more. If Herbert was the QB in that system with the talent around him that Lawrence has, he'd be proclaimed a bust by now. Put Lawrence in our offense with our coaching staff and you'd see a huge difference in his performance. Give the guy a couple of years with a real NFL coach and watch his performance skyrocket.

Dmac - as long suffering Charger fans (my first year of suffering was 1979 at age 10 - it sounds like you go further back), we have to thank the football gods every day that Hertert landed on our team. He is the real deal.
I basically go back to Fouts, i was 18 in ‘79 for the Air Coryell run. I remember as a young kid the end of Hadl (who was a bad ass mofo, i still love that guy for some reason), the absurd Johnny Unitas PR flop, the Svare pill mill, and Tommy Prothro’s great drafts prior to Air Coryell. Fouts was the era I became an avid can’t miss a play fan and was able to buy my own tickets. I think a lot of folks only know Fouts = Coryell but there was a pre-Coryell Fouts era and it wasnt pretty. I look at Fout’s HOF jacket as the one Coryell should have had.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Back then, all rookie qbs struggled in the NFL for various reasons: Dan Marino was the exception.
Still trying to figure things out as President/GM
