BUT (for those of you who think anyone with a microphone wants Lock to fail), Stoke said he is really pulling for Drew and that these OTA's don't mean a whole lot. What really matters is what you do at training camp. Still, it's disconcerting to see the same old problems resurface on day 1 of OTAs.
The other interesting piece they discussed that I hadn't thought of is how much of a bummer this is for Vic Fangio. Usually if a QB is good, it doesn't matter who he plays under, he does well. If he stinks, same thing. It's very rare that a QB all of a sudden becomes good after a change of coaches and systems (Tannehill is the only one I can think of where this was the case). If Lock doesn't start or stinks it up this year, then Vic was dealt a pretty bad hand and could get fired because he had awful QB play.
No you don't understand, it's just a big media conspiracy to ruin Drew Lock, because....reasons.....Quote:

Actually I'd rather that he's HC with a brilliant OC and a long leash.Quote:

I liked that he's an older fellow who believes in modern offense. It shows flexibility and awareness. What is stopping him -regarding things in his control- are those awful game management choices. Those are inexcusable and remind me of another vaunted defensive HC who was a stud DC.Quote:

As for Bridgewater looking better than Lock, I’m just going to assume that’s mostly because it’s easier to look better when you’re throwing bed wetter passes compared to big boy NFL throws.
It’s impossible to argue that Bridgewater isn’t better at Going through progression but if those progressions end up being straight to dump-offs as often as it does for TB what’s the point.
I look forward to watching Broncos fans remember how much we hate throwing to a 3 yard route on 3rd and 8.
That’s my homie!Quote:

Again, who cares what Bridgewater did? He's supposed to be mediocre. No one expects him to do anything impressive. I don't care if he threw 10 picks. I'm more concerned about Lock throwing two. If you Lock stans are going to be this invested in us also pointing out how bad Teddy is when we point out Lock's struggles this is going to be a long, sad year for you.Quote:

I’m just going to add… I don’t know what the representative size sample of “first team” vs “second team” reps is right now, but every “highlight” video I see shows Lock throwing to 3rd string WRs vs guys like Simmons and the starting CBs and defense and TB throwing to starting WRs like Jeudy vs the scout team defense.
Like I said, I have no idea what the splits are, but It is something I’ve noticed.
I thought I had read lock started with the 1s but they were probably rotating both guys through. They have said it will be a 50/50 split for starter reps through camp.Quote:
