When will Lock get chance ?

If Geno has a bad game in Detroit, when will pete make the change ?

I think a minimum of 6 games, unless he REALLY nosedives

I don't see Lock doing any better to be honest. If we are getting it handed to us then I have no issue with trying something new to at the very least keep Geno from getting killed.

Lock is horrendous under pressure. Geno at least keeps the ball relatively safe.

 

[Seahawker]

I think our best chance is to start the lefty Ahlers, run the ball 70% of the time and go for it on 4th down (not 4th & long) every time between both 35 yard lines.
I'm kidding of course but at least it would even up the time of possession, keep our defense off the field some, mask O-Line problems and I think Ahlers could provide a spark/keep the chains moving. Desperate times...

My bet is Christmas Eve game against the Titans.

 

[Rosco]

Geno will probably get the first 4 games and get the axe, if he keeps looking like shit.

No , I don't think so.

He shouldn't make the change at all. Going to Lock doesn't make sense. Might be different if Lock had ever been capable of putting even a little bit of pressure on Geno.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Quarterback changes aren't willy-nilly decisions that should be made lightly. I know the idea gets thrown around here a lot at every single negative outcome, but it's not a small decision.

Bring back dangerwich...

 

[seabowl]

When the defense starts playing like an NFL team.

Get a room.

Who said it's a small decision? Or even implied it? Who are you arguing with over that point?

It's generally a fairly popular topic and has been suggested several times. Also, the OP references the Detroit game, which shouldn't move the needle on this topic regardless of result.

No one explicitly said it's a small decision, but there are replies in this thread alone about this being something that should happen relatively early in the season, which is the implication you're asking about.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Not that I'm vilifying the OP, which is a reasonable topic and a hypothetical "when?" scenario. My answer, though, is that it shouldn't happen regardless despite frequent suggestion that it should.

Lock is not good enough to overcome this horendous defense.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

Hopefully never he's already had his chances. I'd rather we clean house as soon as new ownership is in place and move on from both Geno and Locke.

 

[TwistedHusky]

Hopefully never is the best answer.

The only scenarios where we have to use Locke are bad. And the likely results of using him aren't great either.

Unless the goal is tanking for a stellar QB in what looks to be an incredibly deep QB draft class coming? We don't want to see him being used.

I don't think it will be until he gets hurt. But when Lock gets his chance, Geno might not get his job back... just sayin.
