TheRealMcCoy Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Feels like this deserves its own thread since this was a legit competition unlike say Lawrence and Minshew. I figured Lock would be the starter too, so this is a mini upset. Broncos fans how you feeling? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I never thought Lock was going to be the starter....Broncos have a top level defense and will have a good run game...Fangio is looking for someone that will manage the game and play it safe. Lock obviously had higher upside for the offense but he also had the ability to lose games with his decision making...It is boring but something an older defensive coach will almost always prefer. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Okay, I'm going to say...wow...I didn't expect this. Obviously didn't follow the battle, but I kind of didn't expect Bridgewater to unseat him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Lock sucks, so I was hoping we'd see him week 1. Less happy that we will be seeing Bridgewater week 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 if i was the broncos i'd have given Lock every chance to win the job. i understand Teddy brings a higher floor (lock's floor is non-existent), so i guess they feel the roster is too good to have an erratic QB spoil it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I'm a bit surprised; I thought Lock would win. It would have been easier to go Lock for the upside and switch to Teddy after Lock has a bad stretch to stabilize the team. Lock is pretty much done with this, and needs to count on an injury.

grizmo78 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) As a Broncos fan, I'm disappointed. Teddy isn't going to be a long term difference maker. Worst thing is to be a middling team for years on the verge of playoffs or a perennial one and done team. The competition was close enough that I wish we would have gone with the higher potential player and see if it worked out. If not, then we relatively bottom out and take a shot at a new QB next year. Also makes the decision not to take a QB this past draft even more questionable imo. That said, there is so much talent on this team and will root for whoever is behind center, so Go Teddy!

I’m kind of the opposite. I’m more confident playing Bridgewater in week 4 than I would have been playing Lock. Feels like Lock can give you a few 300+ 3 TD games every year if he’s in a groove. Not sure you have to worry about that playing against Teddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock would have thrown 3 picks against the Giants with the talent they have on the backend and the crazy disguises Patrick Graham loves to utilize. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Lol Broncos can’t figure out the QB position for the life of them. Had a dream QB fall to them and they passed. Fangio is clueless and continues to show that he is. Edited August 25, 2021 by agarcia34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
