That raises an interesting issue: Fangio cannot be happy about this trade. Paton just put the final nail in the coffin to cripple Fangio's defense, which already has been decimated with linebacker injuries. It seems like Fangio's departure is all but certain.
If Paton trades Bridgewater, that would make it even more clear. Fangio has been oddly stubborn in sticking with Bridgewater this season, when Bridgewater had a concussion, then injured his leg, and Fangio put him on field clearly hobbled and out of sorts. Presumably Fangio is sticking with a veteran to try to save his job.
Not that any reasonable people think Lock would be some kind of miracle at this point, but all available comparisons have suggested that Bridgewater and Lock are basically 50/50.
