Good breakdown from Corbin Smith...
Yeah I heard Lock balled out
I have a question for those that were there and watched the QBs. I get that they may have come off as uninspiring. Were they really just meh, or is there some type of residual affect of the experience of stability at the position for 10 years that everything will be compared with what was? #3 is completely different in terms of style from most any other QB we have seen.I was there as well and concur on all fronts.
- QB play was uninspiring but OK
- Walker made a sequence of very nice catches out of the backfield including a great stretch to haul in an overthrown pass
- Woolen was the player of the day
For those who weren't there, OL/DL/RB play should be taken with a major grain of salt because it was minimal contact only. We're not trying to get anybody hurt out there when it's Hawks vs. Hawks.
I wasnt there, but I think some of the uninspiring feeling correlates to, in Locks case, emphasizing the check downs and layups, over the long, exciting plays. We know he's being drilled to polish that aspect of his game.I have a question for those that were there and watched the QBs. I get that they may have come off as uninspiring.

Could there be any sense of “this is so different from the former guy that I can’t accurately assess this play”? Even with the gaps in #3s play, we could almost predict when he could turn it on(4th quarter comebacks). The current QBs on this roster are drastically different from #3 in term of size and abilities.
Just curious if there could be some sort of observation bias involved or we really are screwed at the position.
Yeah, when I was born, my Ma & Pa had me Circumspected before leavin' the hospital, I don't..... um...never mind.I'm trying to remain circumspect because they've only played each other so far, but damn I can't wait to see preseason action next week!
In my view the QBs are being talked up mostly because the stats looked good to start the game and there's an incentive to be optimistic. However, the stats themselves are meaningless in this context for a few reasons. This was closer to watching a 7 on 7 drill in shorts and t-shirts than it was a real NFL game.I have a question for those that were there and watched the QBs.
