I don't blame Lock too much for not wanting to step up into the pocket. Our right side breaks down literally every play.
Probably not, but my point more so, that guys are capable of coming in right away and performing at a level that makes you think they have something. Lock now is in year 2, despite only playing 8 games, he needs to start showing some signs of progression not regression.
I mean it's really year 1. He played a few games last year, but it's not like he played a whole season. I don't think he's the answer but 8 games into his career on a team with horrible coaching and an abysmal O-line is a recipe for disaster for most QB's nonetheless a rookie one.
I agree those are also big factors, but simply put Lock needs to start having better performances and quickly, can't have many more performances like last Sunday. That's simply put, not NFL starter quality what he has shown the last 2 weeks.
Kinda crazy to say but the way this team is currently looking that win against the Jets could possibly cost the Broncos Lawrence.
Let’s not go too overboard here... There’s also players worth keeping and building around. We have good talent in the skill positions(outside QB), but the roster construction is just so bad that they can’t be utilized properly. You can’t prioritize WR’s when your O-Line renders your offense and QB useless, especially a QB that clearly isn’t the answer. The defense is in a decent spot for a rebuild honestly. But the o-line is otherworldly bad and no improvement will be made until they prioritize that.
The only guys worth keeping are Lindsay, Fant, Sutton, Jeudy and Risner. That's a lot of holes. It's going to be a long time before we are even remotely passible on offense.
I’m not saying a turnaround will be easy but those guys are good pieces to build around. It’s just a decade of ignoring the o-line is really rearing it’s ugly head right now. And Elways inability to assess QB talent.
Agreed. Except there is no light at the end of the tunnel, its going to take another 10 years before we fix all the problems that are wrong with this franchise. Having a few good players here and there is meaningless, have to have players at every position, and we aren't close to that. And on top of that you need competent coaching which we aren't even close to having.
I mean as Pokecheque said if we were able fluke our way into a high end QB that makes the team that much better. But the issue is that we have seemingly won our way out of the Lawrence sweepstakes.
Yup. The Broncos are bad, but not quite worst team in the league bad. Like the Avs, if they can focus on the one thing holding them back it will do them a lot of good in the long run.
