I think its very clear Lawson is above average as an OLB. The ONLY missing piece in his game is the passrush. I think that part of his game will improve, but he will never be a D.Ware type. However, watch him in the Bears game, he is getting pressure, he just needs that final move or second step to get the passer. He is way above average in everything else.

Agreed.

How the hell can he be above average when the missing piece of his game happens to be the most important part of the job description of his position.

If he had pass rushing skills, he would be a great LB; because of his good cover skills, and run containment. Thus, making him only above average at this point of his career.

That's like saying Alex Smith is an above average QB because he's a godly blocker.

Ummm...Okay (i'll try it in layman's terms). As a LB, your job (unless you are only a pure 3rd down pass rusher) is to play the run well, cover well, and pass rush well. As a QB, your job is to throw the football to your WR, or RB, or TE, and hand it off to your RB, not to block.
Your argument, is the equivalent of calling Justin Smith bad, because he doesn't catch TD's, or doesn't kick field goals.

Manny isn't a bad pass rusher. I see him in the backfield a lot this year. His problem is the same as the team's: finishing. He hasn't finished his rushes and I think he needs a guy on the opposite side that helps out like he had in college with Mario Williams.
He's not bad, hes just not great either.

It's not that difficult to get into the backfield if all you are doing is rushing up 8 yards deep. His problem is that he can't turn it back towards the QB.
