Drew Lock Thread

[Butler By'Note]

I'm not sure he'll be available. Brees is done after this season and I seriously doubt the Saints will actually turn the team over to Taysom Hill, he's a gadget player, not a QB. So if they see something worth keeping in Winston I think they'll try to hold onto him.

Although that could...

So, just read some interesting Avalanche news. The Avalanche are doing away with the black helmet, gloves and pants that they wear and those will now be blue. Personally I think this is a better look than the black.

I would tend to agree with you here. I want to see a QB struggle, and not have a great game, because I can learn how they deal with adversity? Whether they can overcome bad play early to get their team the win? And whether they can bounce back from mistakes (bad interceptions in this case) to not...

I think Zach Wilson is the guy. He's got accuracy, he's got a good arm that can make every throw and he's got the mobility to make defences have to account for him. I don't think Denver has any legitimate chance at Lawrence or Fields, they're going 1-2 and there are too many QB needy teams ahead of...

Not to mention he's only started 1 season at the FCS level. I'm not high on any QB that's only had one season starting, whether it's FCS or FBS, because it's rare that those QBs turn out be pro ready immediately. Kyler Murray is one of the few exceptions.

I love everything about Lance's...

Cool, the best QB the Dolphins have had since Dan Marino had to go to Tennessee to succeed. And the Dolphins are still searching for the replacement from Marino. Tua has been okay in his first 3 games, but hardly has shown he's the answer at this point. We'll see. Some other Dolphins fun facts:...

The player couldn't get himself onto the field. The coaching staff (for all of their issues) haven't been shy about elevating and playing players from the practice squad, and players from the street. Just look at the players who have cycled through the d-line this season as a bunch of examples of...

He's the Patriots version of Brock Osweiler, except he was traded before he could leave as a free agent. He'll end up back in New England when San Fran moves on.

Here's an interesting, well reasoned look at the offense and the issues from against Atlanta.

OR the opposition takes their foot off the gas a little bit and it allows Lock to make some plays. Against ATL his biggest plays late came when the Falcons backed off their pressure looks and allowed him a clearer look. When they start dealing up the pressure, and pressure looks (like they had early...

Number 1, you could not call better plays. It's not just as easy as calling play X and it'll work because it's the right call. There's two teams on the field, and often times you may have called a great play, but the defense just happened to call the right defense for that play. Or your players didn't...

I agree they need to keep the staff intact for another season for two reasons: 1. We need players to actually develop in a system to see what they have. 2. If you keep firing coaches (whether it's HCs or coordinators) every 1 to 2 seasons you quickly run out of coaches that will be willing to be a part...

Some highlights from his 19 carry for 160 yards and 3 TD performance against NC State two weeks ago.

The kid is an absolute stud. PFF has him listed as the most elusive RB in the NCAA so far this year. He leads the NCAA in touchdowns so far this year (17 17 so far after 4 first half TDs this afternoon) and is a 5'10 220 pound beast who excels in yards after contact.

Assuming he comes...

But are they true first rounders? Or QBs who will be picked in round 1 because teams are desperate for QBs?...

That will slow down speed....

They obviously have a reason for it, I would guess that Bausby will be signed to the practice squad on Monday....

Yep, the Chinook winds blow off the mountains and it changes everything. We don't get Chinooks as powerful as we did when I was a kid anymore. But I can remember one time (probably 25 years ago) where it was in the -20's (just below zero Fahrenheit) all day, the Chinook winds started blowing around...

Lots of reinforcements returning to the Broncos this week. Fant, Hamler and Gordon have all been cleared to play. AJ Bouye and Dre'Mont Jones will both be activated from IR before the game, both will play. And the coaches are currently debating on whether DeMarcus Walker will also be activated from...
