But Lawrence is a defensive end not a pass rushing specialist lol. I think that’s the problem you are having. Robert Quinn is what you want not Demarcus Lawrence.More than 5.5 after 14 games. This is 2 seasons in a row. The number 1 job of a pass rusher is to sack the QB and those that do that at a high level deserve that type of money. DLaw clearly has not been doing that at a high level.
DLaw got paid 20 + mil because of what he did as a pass rusher. No one in their right mind gives a DE top 5 money if they are not producing sacks.But Lawrence is a defensive end not a pass rushing specialist lol. I think that’s the problem you are having.

Yeah it’s not true. Lawrence is not a big time sack guy. Jerry chose to pay him because of what he meant to the Cowboys.DLaw got paid 20 + mil because of what he did as a pass rusher. No one in their right mind gives a DE top 5 money if they are not producing sacks.
Why defensive players get top 5 money
DL - sacks
LB - tackles
DB - coverage - interceptions
This is either true or it's not
I know DLaw is not a sack guy. He took a vacation from sacks after he got Jerry's money....either true or it's notYeah it’s not true. Lawrence is not a big time sack guy. Jerry chose to pay him because of what he meant to the Cowboys.
One thing you can say about him he is always hustling and around the ball, contract, no one forced Jerry to pay him that kind of money.Its just so subjective though....IMO, no one has really earned their check....but if I gauge players based on what they actually contribute? That's a different ball game. I can't fault a guy for what Jerry and co. paid them.
That's up to you.....even in his career he's had over 10 sacks how many times? Two or three? Thank goodness that there's more to being a good defensive end than jus sacks.I know DLaw is not a sack guy. He took a vacation from sacks after he got Jerry's money....either true or it's not

No I didn't think anything. Other than he would live up to his contract. He has not.And so because of that you thought he was going to be Demarcus Ware lol? Maybe because both guys were named Demarcus? Your eyes showed you what he is and you rather look at what Jerry paid I'm to determine what he is. It makes no sense but ok.
How can you think he was going to live up to his deal when you don't even know what 20 million a year should give you lol.No I didn't think anything. Other than he would live up to his contract. He has not.
He doesn't know. I asked him repeatedly....and he just wants to fight with people.How can you think he was going to live up to his deal when you don't even know what 20 million a year should give you lol.
Pro Bowl...flawed or not is suppose to have the best defensive ends in it correct?
Go look at what Brandon Graham, Chase Young and Cam Jordan have done...if this is the best in the league than Lawrence surely is one of them.
To be fair, we could start a list around the league with that name tag.There is definitely an argument to be made about him being overpaid.

It's a long and highly esteemed list.To be fair, we could start a list around the league with that name tag.
LOL....there goes any hope at a career in talent evaluation.
