I don’t blame Denver for trying with him. Of course you can’t compare Lock to Mahomes because a talent like Pat comes around on average ever 10-12 years with Rodgers being the last one before Pat.
Pat has shown me what I want in a QB in the post-Pat Chiefs era (assuming I don’t kill myself in the sadness of living in a post-Pat era), and Lock is as close to what you would normally find...Very strong arm, mobility and a willingness to be coached.
Accuracy will surely be Lock’s downfall. He just doesn’t have good touch at all on his downfield throws. Time will tell if coaching and fundamentals can help rectify that. There is however no doubt that this guy also gets nervous under duress. That’s what makes him so different than Pat, because Pat was making touch throws downfield on the run or fading away like it wasn’t a problem. I’ve also never seen a QB so confident and even tempered like Pat in high pressure situations.
Basically what I’m saying is I don’t want limited QB’s anymore in my life watching this team. The day will come when we need to replace Pat, and when we do it better be a QB with high potential and upside instead of an average retread or game manager.
There’s a reason the Packers were sniffing around him and almost took the kid.
