However, if they don't show that at the end of year 1 of on-field experience, I'd be shopping for my franchise QB competition, particularly in the draft, as my backup plan. The QB is by far the most important position on the field, especially in this era. This past year, there were more passing TDs than punts. I believe that's a first, and it shows us how important having your top-notch QB is.
Since Lock's year 1 has come and gone, and since he still has a long way to go to be a top NFL QB, I'd be looking hard in this upcoming draft to get the best I can as my backup plan. Let Lock and the new guy compete. Don't waste time sitting on your hands developing a guy or waiting until he gets it, like this franchise has done with Siemian and Lynch. If I'm responsible for the success of the team, the QB is my priority. It isn't the success of any one player. That's their responsibility.
But, I think the staff will go after a vet in a "win now" mode, due to the expected ownership change as well as 2021 the last contract year for Elway and maybe the last for Fangio and his staff if they don't win. Short-term thinking...when fails, costs the Broncos several years of losing.
