You make some valid points, he is good when he is out there... but he isn't out there often because he is a liability on 1st and 2nd down. He is a great pass rusher, but the rest of his game is so-so
Lawson is a very effective situational pass rusher on a modest contract. An elite pass rusher by some metrics. A valuable guy to have.
The idea that we should "move on" from him is silly. What, you think Brown or Kareem are better? Yeesh.
Yes, he got hurt. Yes, he is not a 3 down guy. But he is a 3rd down guy, and that is the big one. Plus, if we play more 524 base, his issues vs the run may not be as big a deal as in 434.
He's our best pass rusher and #3 DE. Keeper. And due a raise.
