Guess what...it never happened.
The teams with star QBs get the calls...you saw this with HGHenstein. They would allow Miller to pummel Smith a full second after he released the ball...then ignore obvious muggings on Hali.
Lock's ceiling is Cutler...who was a career .500 QB. I cant think of a single instance where a college QB was inaccurate...then become a precision passer in the NFL.
What you see is what you get 99% of the time....Mahomes looks pretty much like he did before he was drafted...just refined what was already there.
Lock's trajectory is a 12-15 ranked QB....which is a nine win QB every few seasons.

The upside for Lock is still unknown. Sure, he can cap out as a top 10-12 guy, but who knows. Top 3 elite? Maybe not, but we won't know until he plays an actual half season or more. Shurmur and the new toys are the wildcard here, so I'll remain cautiously optimistic that Lock can continue to improve and if that happens, then purgatory is over.
