I hope i've not said this too many times but I'd REALLY like to see Lock get in some meaningful reps before we commit to anything or anyone. And that includes the draft (or at least some of it).
What would be the downside? We might not make it to the SB? Geno might come up short of MVP honors thus jeopardizing his shot at the HOF?
Unless the FO is positive Lock is NOT the guy, to me this is just irresponsible management. The SB is out for this year and probably next year as well. We know who Geno is by now and with Lock just 26 yo, if he's not the future at QB, and I'm not suggesting he is, we'll need to draft a QB and start grooming him like post haste.
I don't think we can afford another draft where Pete and John draft (let's say) the Old Dominion QB in the 6th so they can feel like they're the smartest guys in the room.
Defense is top priority, no doubt, but IF it's known Geno is all we have at QB, we should be looking for his replacement with one of our top 4 picks. He played for a craptastic team with a mediocre coach, but if we can let him sit and learn for a year or two, Tanner McKee, IMO, could be a day 2 steal.
