Yeah but he's gotta throw a million times a game because he thinks he's gotta get to 40 points.
The strip sack happened with 11 minutes left in the game and it was his 29th dropback of the game. That doesn't seem really excessive.

He then threw it on 13 straight plays to end at 42 dropbacks, but they were down 2 scores late in the 4th at that point.

Absolutely should be a multi-game suspension.
Fully expect a suspension after seeing it again.

I’ve always said, QBs can’t get greedy with these slides. Always slide well before a defender can hit you unless you need to get the first down, which if that’s the case brace for contact. 2nd and 7 so if you are short 1 or 2 more yards have 3rd down to pick it up. At 3rd and 3 or something.

Worst case scenario played out for any QB. Knocked out of game. Might also take him out of next week’s game as well. All to gain an extra yard or 2 on a 2nd down play.

QB too important to risk getting hit. Slide early. Defender is clearly wrong here but that doesn’t take away from Trev getting hurt.

That's a very specific cherry picked stat but I respect them pulling it out to show how bad he is.

Lawrence was sliding and was a good 5 yards from being hit by the defender. It wasn't a case of Lawrence being "greedy" but a defender head hunting and not letting up.
