Lock looked OK im preseason and his play approved in the limited time he had played
I dont think he should have even been on IR for a thumb injury that didn't need surgery.
They thought itnwas going to be Flacco all year then they got a rude awakening.
He should have been practicing immediately when Flacco was out.

We should have IR’ed Callahan and kept Lock inactive (Allen as backup) until Lock was healed. I’m not sure how they think Lock would progress by not practicing. We need to see Lock play at least 3-4 games this season or else the season is mostly a waste.

For the record, I’m not advocating for tanking. I’m solely advocating drafting a quarterback and building around him, not trying to build this makeshift offense with a “veteran,” while the rookie sits with no reps. Lock should have been practicing the second he was even remotely healthy, which is why IR was so baffling. If he’s not even ready for that, ****, what are they doing in the scouting department?
But thats the thing WHY no practice since August? He shouldn't have been shelved for so long. I think Elwat and Co. thought theyd be better than 3-6 and that theyd take Tim and Theo off IR and taht woulda boosted the offense If they were closer to .500.
Very narrow thinking there staking it all on Flacco.

Sure, and they thought it would take longer to heal, they didn't want to carry three QBs on the 53, and they would be morons to think they could get him on the PS.
There were a few other guys (Callahan etc) they should've stashed on IR and didn't but when you can ONLY bring back two people you can't stash everyone. You keep the guys who you expect to need sooner off IR.
There are very rational thoughts to why he was on IR.
There is being cautious and then there is coddling a young QB because you are afraid of breaking his mentality. If Lock cant handle adversity than he's the wrong guy for the job, nuff said.
I myself don’t think so.
Flacco was supposed to start and play well. He started. Enough said.
That would have given Lock some time to become acclimated. Most teams would like to give time to rookies. As we all know it’s a huge jump from college to the Pro’s.
There is no perfect world I guess.
Bill Williamson:
"The Broncos went from one of the more attractive organizations in the NFL to one in total disarray. McDaniels will go down as one of the most reviled figures in Denver sports history".
Theyre just in such a bad situation with good QBs coming out next year. Den CANNOT miss on Drafting a QB next year and by whiffing on Lock. That is a recipe for disaster.
He shoulda been activated as soon as his hand was healed and been practicing.
Keep in mind They trotted out a guy with zero starts last week...
