And no, I'm not saying Lock is going to be anything like TB. But we really don't have any idea what he's going to be, is my point.
He could have the intangibles to become a very good QB, maybe even a great one, if all the pieces fall into place for him. Or he could end up being just another JAG. Time will tell.
Personally, I think that IF he has the mental toughness and football IQ necessary, he could end up being a top 10 QB. He ha a long way to go and a lot of learning ahead, but it's not impossible.
This season will tell us a lot about Lock and what he brings to the table. I believe that he's going to show that he's a legit starting QB. Though that may not show up in DEN's W/L record necessarily.

People always bring up Brady when defending their underwhelming, young QB...there is a reason it's only happened a handful of times in the past 30 years.
Brady was never known as an "inaccurate" passer...I challenge anyone to provide an example of a 2nd round or later QB that had accuracy problems in college...that amounted to a great QB.
It rarely happens....
If accuracy and anticipation could be taught...there would a lot more quality starting QBs in the NFL.
