Ok, so ... what exactly do you guys want me to make a grand prediction on after 5 games with Lock?
Do you want me to predict something like he will be a top 10 QB going forward or that he is going to be just an average guy, bouncing between 7 and 10 wins every other year, teasing the fan base with greatness?
I don't believe either one of those to be true at this point because the offense has quite a few holes that will help shape that future. Denver needs a legit speedster at WR, a better RB2 (bounce freeman) and OL work.
After 5 games,
and I believe I said this already, Lock appears to be the best QB they've put in the spot since Manning. It appears they've figured out that QB riddle and they don't have to spend a high draft pick on another QB this year.
I like the fact that they brought in a new OC and soon to be a new QB Coach and I think they have a very talented young cast of weapons around that offense, thanks to solid drafting the last 2 years. (after years of failure)
Am I ready to annoint him like everyone did Mayfield after his rookie year? No.. I'm not going to say that Lock is at an elite level and ready to spend the next decade and a half at the top of the QB ranks.
Based on the 5 games, I certainly think he has the tools and the skills to get there, but he's going to need some help on that offense, which is not that much different than every other QB.
So again, what exactly would you specifically like me to predict regarding Drew Lock?
