QB Controversy

[Cyrus12]

Gonna be an interesting week here at .net

Naw, no controversy. Geno is the guy this year. Lock is a good backup and that's probably where it's at right now.

Although I will say that maybe the team is better when it doesn't rely on the pass thrower as much. Might be a good idea to take this approach with Geno when he's back.

Lock. I've said it all week. All due respect to Geno. He's a nice guy, but we know where nice guys finish.

 

[Ozzy]

I’m team Lock. Don’t fault anyone for thinking Geno but I think Lock has some potential if used correctly

 

[Titus Pullo]

Lock the rest of the way.

 

[JPatera76]

I honestly like both, but I agree with PNW, and I also think Lock is quicker on his feet when run and has better chemistry with DK. (I don't hate lockett.. but i feel he's almost looking for a PI every play now a days. Some valid some not so much.)

 

[WarHawks]

Regardless of what happens from here on out, there's no need to see Geno in a Hawks game again. Let him walk.

Lock offers more flexibility but Geno makes decisions quicker…that is a tough call for Pete.

Lock is a good backup, but I hope nobody thinks he's a Super Bowl-caliber QB. Not after what I saw in Denver.

 

[Titus Pullo]

Lock will be starting somewhere next year.

Might even be in Denver again.

 

[LastRideOut]

Geno is more accurate than Lock is. Though, Geno does panic when maybe, he doesn't need to. I didn't see that from Lock today so I will give you that.

Still think Geno is the safer choice though. If PC goes with Lock the rest of the way, I'm fine with it.

Well... whats that? the Train wreck that IS denver? or all the coaching changes and everything else that DID NOT help lock at all there? Here, he's has the most stability he's ever had in his whole career.

That would be funny...as long as the slug we sent them doesn't come back here after he's cut...

 

[Spin Doctor]

There is no controversy. Geno Smith is going to start the rest of the year -- though I think that Carroll should really should see what we have in Lock.

 

[CouchLogic]

I don't care who it is, I hope neither is starting next season. Good players, but...

What are we starting Lock for? If you're picking Lock so he can "develop", ok, I disagree with that approach, but I understand it.

If you're picking Lock because you think Geno is more hurt than they are letting on, ok.

If you're picking Lock because of a very middling performance against one of the worst pass defenses in the league and think this is an indication he is actually the better QB, I have no idea what the heck you are thinking.

Geno's last game, against Dallas, was an order of magnitude better than what we just saw from Drew and yet somehow there is "QB controversy"?

What is with the weird anti-Geno obsession with some of our fanbase?

 

[Welshers2]

Listen I hate to be the bearer of bad news to you Lock fans but I hope you realize there is 0% chance Pete plays him over Geno once Geno gets to 100%. Trust me on this. I think Geno is better but I am saying this from my knowledge on Pete Carrol.

 

[strohmin]

You have to give it to Lock after this game, you just have to. He saved Pete's ass.

Recency bias. Also, 6-7.

Geno is just a meh QB. At this point he really strikes in as a better version of Fitzpatrick. Few weeks every year he comes out and looks unstoppable. The rest of the year he's treading water and looks mediocre. He isn't the future of the franchise, nor do I think Lock is for that matter.
