So many positives for both..who is winning the job after pre week 1?
I think the roles should be switched next week and we see how Lock does with the 1s.PULL.GENO.NOW!!!
Don't waste anymore starter time on him, this is clearly Locks job...stop the games.
I agreeI think the roles should be switched next week and we see how Lock does with the 1s.
It's interesting that heading out of training camp the observations were that Geno was performing best inside the pocket and it was Lock working best outside of the pocket on the move. The first preseason game was exact opposite. Drew looked strong in the pocket and Geno was doing his best RW impersonation.
I love your rosy, optimistic predictions and positive takes (Ha!) Seriously, I enjoy your negativity; you're like the little red devil whispering nasty negatives in one ear while Jiminy Cricket whispers platitudes and flattery in the other ear. Often you start making more sense than Jiminy, because, at times, he's just too positive, too Pollyanna-ish to be taken seriously. You're the guy I want to listen to before I invest money, to see if I've thought it through or I'm about to make a horrible screwup by being overly optimistic.Geno Smith is trash. Drew Lock is trash w/potential.
As long as Geno finds a way to not turn the ball over throughout the preseason no matter how anemic it will look at times, Pete will go with Geno. It's all about the ball. Pete really believes that. Drew killed himself with that turnover.
Both players played as advertised, which is bad. Drew Lock needed to show he was no longer inconsistent, and he couldn't even do that against 3rd stringers.
Pete really believes he can win games in the modern NFL running the ball and playing defense. You need a playmaker at QB since 2003 and beyond. Drew Lock is a playmaker, but he will also make plays for the other team as well.
Taking a shot with Lock is the right call, as he at least has potential. If he crashes and burns, you get a top pick. If the light bulb comes on, how ever slim of a chance it is, you now have something at QB, it's a win, win. But the coach is probably going to go with Geno for the fewer turnovers.
It doesn't really matter in the end, we're splitting hairs about who is the prettiest between two fat, ugly chicks.
A young Charlie Whitehurst vs. a poorman's, washed up TJack. It doesn't matter. The Seahawks are not going anywhere with either one of them.
5 wins was my prediction back when the schedule came out. Tonight did nothing to persuade me to think otherwise. If anything I might've aimed a little high.
Yeah, I was hoping for a few more running plays mixed with safe, short passes. Just a few more cuts and let them bleed out gradually, rather than trying to slash the jugular with one big play, Hero Ball. Major backfire. Worst case is Myers misses a longie at the final whistle and we get out with a tie.I forgot about the QB battle and just wanted to crush the Steeler fans.
Mafe provided a great chance to win, and I was hoping to kill most of the 1:17 by running into a 3 point try for Myers.
Except for one game last season, Geno led Seahawk offenses have trouble scoring tds. This has been consistent with his time on the Seahawks. That is the biggest issue. He can throw short to medium range passes all day and rack up an high comp pct but come away with zero pts on drives. That isn't good enough when the opposite side is scoring tds however. Geno played most of the 1st half and the Seahawks were down 17-3 to a team led by two retreads - Trubisky and Rudolph.Geno Smith is trash. Drew Lock is trash w/potential.

I want Lock too. You don't need to sell me on how underwhelming Geno is, but Pete has a turnover fetish, somethin fierce.Except for one game last season, Geno led Seahawk offenses have trouble scoring tds.

Here's are the stats from last preseason game vs Chargers - https://www.google.com/search?q=202...-8#sie=m;/g/11rc1v88y5;6;/m/059yj;tb2;fp;1;;;
And so far the first preseason game this season is very similar to how he played that game. It's also very reminiscent of his regular season games against the Steelers and Saints last year.
