I was one of his biggest critics early on and I've been a full defender of his since. People like to look at just sacks or look at our defense as a whole and paint him as a large portion of that problem.This will go over the head of most of those who do not like Lawrence and/or his contract, but..
When you're evaluating his sack numbers, you have to look at his support cast--especially the interior DL. As he's had a 10 ten pass-rush win rate the last 5 years, it means he is beating his man on the OL. Why isn't he getting home more often then? Well, without collapse of the pocket or consistent right side pressure, the QB can simply step up into the pocket or roll-out right to buy more time.
