Lock 1 TD away from tying Wilson

[Palmegranite]

It's not as if it was a one-for-one QB trade.
Come to think of it, what was the point in picking up Lock in that trade?

Admittedly Lock is a decent backup, and I believe with the right coaching he could eliminate some of those bonehead INTs. Question is, how long will it take? He makes a couple of good throws, then relaxes, and the other team has the ball. He needs to keep that intensity up the whole time.

Drew Lock makes major mistakes when it counts.

Yes. He is Geno light.

These Pre-season records, count for nothing. 70-yard field goals, when in the regular season. The players may well have blocked it.

Players making guest appearances. The Seahawks had a Veteran, who was too old to be a Rookie. Who appeared to be there, to raise money for a service charity. The Cowboys had a Welsh comedian, who had played a lot of Rugby. Who was there as a kick returner, although the circumstances were not right for him to actually play.

Having watched football over 40 years now, if your back up is forced to come in and play extensive time, your season in most cases is over. Other than Jeff Hostetler, and a few others, they’ve only been a handful of back ups that have carried the team. Lock is as good as a back up as pretty much any and I’d rather have him then Howell who was terrible to watch.

I would add Nick Foles as a wonderful example of a backup QB siezing the opportunity that arose when Carson Wentz went down with an injury. All the way to a Superbowl championship.

Carpe Diem!!

On a positive note, kudos to whomever knew these stats. I didn't even know stats like this were tracked. Dang, does anyone know if Cortez Kennedy holds the preseason record for hot dogs eaten on the sidelines during the "game"? He's got to own the record for sending # of said hot dogs to the other team vets dressed but not playing on the other sideline.

Drew Lock throws a late-game TD pass to JSN to beat the Eagles on National TV, and suddenly he's chopped liver?


Yes, that was so last year, er, 2023...
Lock is a serviceable backup who can win some games. He might do better than expected in Kubiak's system when/if Darnold is unavailable. And he can't hurt as a veteran influence on Milroe in the QB room.

Drew Lock, with 15 pre-season touchdown passes is only one back from Russell Wilson, with 16.

Drew may pass up Russ this season!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Drew Lock is now the Seahawks all-time preseason TD leader, with 2 TD passes to Jake Bobo vs. the Chiefs.
Lock: 17 TD passes
Wilson: 16 TD passes

That is, of course, assuming Trackhawk's starting numbers were correct. Funny, I remember Russell's many TD passes his rookie year, eagerly awaiting the 2nd half of the first couple preseason games to see him get in and throw TDs. I can still see that pic of Eric Berry of KC upside down chasing Russell and getting blocked. I'm mostly drawing a blank on Lock's preseason TD passes. Mostly I recall Lock being injured in preseason and unable to make his case to be a starter over Geno.

Drew needs to stop in at any Lumen Field area Starbucks to claim his prize for this achievement.
That new record, and 5 bucks, will get him a cup of coffee.

Yes, and he leads Russell Wilson all time, as Wilson has no TDs and one INT in this year’s preseason.

Not sure what all the Lock hate is about. What backup QB, hell, what starting QB hasn’t thrown picks?

He seems to me more than worthy to be a solid backup and has proven to win a game for us when placed in action when needed.

 

[Y.A. Tittle]

I see no way that it could be any less meaningful.

Have to find something interesting about preseason games, especially when I can’t watch it

I found it an amusing post, not intended to be profound. Gave me a smile.

Indeed, Files has some Lock in him.
