Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

When you’re a losing team, you don’t not play the rookie quarterback because you’re afraid of more losing.
Let the kid practice then let him play.
He needs to at least prove he’s not in over his head. If he his, he’s never going to not be in over his head.
No but Garrett Bolles at LT.
That is enough reason not to play what you think could be the future, so you don't get them killed.
That said, Lock should be practicing with his teamates right now and we should be shuffling the line and Bolles should not see meaningful snap for a looong time imo.

That’s not always the case. Some rookie quarterbacks struggle early and play well as they gain more experience. Some quarterbacks play well their first few starts and regress their first full season. .

We might have different definitions of “in over his head”.
I think a player can lose and play poorly without being in over his head. It’s a matter of whether or not he can learn from his mistakes and adjust accordingly. It doesn’t necessarily have to happen quickly, but it needs to happen within a reasonable amount of time.

I would agree as a starting point. If a quarterback is showing growth in the back half of those 16 games then it would probably be worth extending the assessment. Regarding Lock, 4-5 games won’t be enough to assess. We’ll see indicators of what he has but I don’t think a few games will be enough. Jared Goff looked overwhelmed in his first 7 starts. His first full season showed significant growth.
The team will eventually be forced to play Lock, even if only to fill seats.
Also..The 2020 QB class isn't very good, imo.
I agree with you. I don’t think the top guys are as good as they hype around them. Herbert seems to flub when the pressure is on and Tua, just doesn’t impress me like every other Alabama QB in the last half century.
Who I do like is a few years down the line, Bo Nix. When he’s on, I’m watching. I just wish College ball wasn’t all about the Option and they only work out of Shotgun. I would love to see him in a Pro-Style offense working under center.
If the Broncos didn’t think Lock was the guy they wouldn’t have drafted him in the 2nd rd. He doesn’t have to play this year. I personally hope he does because i want to see him play. Next years Draft we need to add OL, CB, and a WR who can stretch the field.
If waiting until next year means we see Lock with a better oline and better receiving weapons then i can be patient.
Lock playing this year will not make or break his career.
He will practice at least 3 weeks and next season how he approaches the offseason and camp will tell us more about him than a couple starts this year.

I don't know Bolles isn't as bad as Wilkerson. Bolles will at least hold and tackle the defender and not let them have a free run lol

If you go back and watch some of the plays closely,Wilkinson would get the rusher to the outside. Flacco would simply not step up in the pocket. Wilkinson hasn’t played well however several sacks were on Flacco.
