I think even the biggest Homer would admit he's never going to be an elite QB....he might end up being a top 15 or so. You cant teach anticipation... If Doinks get a shot at a top QB next season...do they pull the trigger? I watched the Bears go in QB circles for years...while Rodgers dominated them. They payed big money for Cutler...and nothing changed. Lock reminds me of a poor man's Cutler... IMO..you have to keep drafting QBs until you get a top one. Your franchise will stay stuck in neutral until you do...Lock keeps them in middling territory. It was a dumb move...unless nabbing a cheap back-up QB for a 2nd was the goal. |

This is where donk fan/elway extoll the virtues of paxton freaking lynch and talk about how they HAD to give him another year (even though his ceiling was miles below Mahomes' floor).

How long do you think it will be before Lock is in the MVP conversation?

He played in college for 4 years...and his HC says he doesn't know how to play QB at the NFL level? What was he doing that whole time? That's not a good sign... Your only hope is he somehow defies the odds...and becomes what he's never been. Just like people were hoping Keesum would be something different...Chad Kelly would somehow not become insane...or Flaccid will be a player he hasn't been in 5 seasons. I'm trying to think of a single instance where a project QB became a top 10 QB? Brady maybe? Last edited by BlackOp; 08-12-2019 at 02:04 PM.. |

Andy kept Smith because it was the politically correct thing to do...Mahomes, as a rookie, was destroying shit in practice though. Smith even said he was "other-worldly" before he played in a real game. If we start hearing Flaccid saying Lock is doing incredible shit...and making throws he's never seen before...I'll share your optimism. |

This game? Eeesh. If you say so. Ok, let me be clear here. If we still had Brodie Croyle playing QB i'd be pretty excited over this kid too. I'd be looking at the positives too. But, i'm not so... He threw an INT, but there shoulda been 3-4 Ints. Two of them were just straight up dropped by the defender. He had two nice passes, got a receiver's head removed and everything else was a check down. |

There were rumors circulating last season that the Chiefs were mulling the idea of trading Alex during Mahomes' rookie season because Mahomes in fact, was so good right away. Mahomes was making insane throws the moment he got here. We Chiefs fans told ya'll but no one listened. Ya'll chalked it up to homerism. The Chiefs brass couldn't even contain their excitement. Meanwhile in Denver, the coaches are doing their best to temper the fan's enthusiasm. |
