Obviously Geno’s injury was a big reason why we lost yesterday. I’m curious to know what people thought about Drew Lock.

Im seeing a lot of people say he played real bad, but I’m not sure I agree. His stats said he played bad, but I think he could have had 2 deep completions to JSN on 3rd downs if they were on the same page.

The first to JSN it looked like if he turned for the seam, he could have taken it to the endzone he was so open. Next was a deep corner to JSN that was just out of his reach. It didn’t look like JSN took the best path to the ball.

I think both were good throws that you can chalk up to lack of reps/chemistry. I’m very pleased to have Lock as a back up, I think he’s better than people give him credit for.

    I’ve always thought of Lock as a high-tier backup. He’s certainly better than some of the guys other teams are trotting out there to start. If Geno went down and we had to start Lock long-term, once he has a few weeks to gel with the first-team offense I think we could stay competitive in games. Could be be better than Geno? Sure, who knows. But it’s hard to show off what you can actually do if you just come off the bench for three drives once a month.
