Geno had the ball at the end to win it against Dallas and he took a predictable sack. Drew made the plays that he needed to make and the rest of the team rallied around him to make it easier for him. Im not saying whether hes better than Geno or not but he did what he needed to to get the win and save Petes ass. Pete needs to reward him with another start to see how he continues. Also, until Geno is 100% healthy, I dont want him to even think about startingm
Lock gives me the feeling that there’s a chance. He doesn’t seem to take as many sacks (O-line WAS healthier). I’m not sure stat wise…
He does seem to have better chemistry with DK. He got JSN going…and that is supposed to happen.
I don’t see the benefits of rolling with Geno when a lot of folks are calling for us to draft a QB (doesn’t mean PC and JS are).
Geno doesn’t have QBOTF written on him. Lock…just may.
Lock has a stronger arm. He looks more ‘dynamic’.
With that said, the first half of last year version of Geno is not easily replaced. Where’s that dude though?
Gotta be honest…I hate Lock’s haircut.
Geno is averaging 2.2 sacks a game, which is slightly
below the league average of 2.6 (despite the Seahawks giving up pressure the 3rd most of any team in the league). Small sample size caveat (obviously), but Lock is averaging 3 as of now.
And I'm not sure what the numbers look like tonight, but last week Drew Lock was pressured a good 10% less than what our OL has been giving up this season and still got sacked 4 times. If that pressure rate looks similar tonight, he'll be taking
more sacks on
less pressures than Geno.
I'm not sure I agree about the DK chemistry, either. Lock seemed to throw a lot of bad balls DK's way, just like Geno. Difference was DK caught the big ones tonight. DK is not getting nearly the love he should be for that drive while everybody hops on the Lock-train.
Geno isn't the QBOTF. I'm not sure I want him gone next season but honestly this team has holes that $30 million can help fix. It really depends on where Pete/JS see this team next year. If we are still trying to WIN, then Geno's the guy.
If we're rebuilding, keep Lock (if you can) for cheap but the idea that a rookie is going to 'grow' under a guy who still needs to 'grow' himself makes no sense. You keep Lock for cheap continuity.
