Is he that type of guy? I have no clue. But I'm willing to bet that two years out nobody has any idea what this kid's intentions are, and selling a franchise coming off a (theoretical) 0-16 season and (theoretically) 6 losing seasons in a row, with no real history of winning, a pretty meager and negative fanbase... that's no sure thing at all. It's fun to sit here and pretend that we could get Lawrence to fall right in our laps and that he'd come marching in to save the franchise... but who's to say he'd be the slightest bit interested in that?
Can't count on it, so don't do it.
I agree, Dalton isn't the problem with this team anyways...

Westerman, Redmond, and Jordan can provide quality depth and competition for the RG spot. Maybe the next year, either Trent goes to RT (makes sense) or we try Jonah over there.
Either way, I want a great line...always been the formula for success with AD.
Yeah, it all starts from the trenches out and I cannot imagine Mixon running behind a great Line. Could be amazing.
Just saw the latest fluff piece from Hobspin about Westerman though, we will see. Not like Glenn was even good at LT last year, let alone LG.
Doesn't matter if you have the body type if you do not have the technique to play LG.
From what I have seen Westerman is a better LG than Glenn at this point even. Doesn't matter about size if you play like a wimp like Glenn did last season at times. Regardless of what a guy like Fred would say about pay, that doesn't matter either, have to perform well. Glenn didn't last season and I saw him whiff quite a few times where he should of pancaked dudes. All I want is the best five starting on the Line but I do agree that it seems Turner, Zac and Callahan want a big strong bully Line which I am all for as long as they play like it.

Which of course means the Bengals would draft him and he'd end up like Ki-Jana Carter probably...
So that idea is out eh? lol
