Aaaaaaaaaaaaand…YA BLEW IT, Drew Lock!!

Avert my eyes, they burnnnnnnnnnnn.

BUT on the other hand, Drew Lock makes throws like this and you're just left shaking your head, wondering where and how he goes so wrong so often.

That's Dime City right there. And I will say, Lock got denied another would-be TD pass here:

So if Penny Hart comes down with that second ball, and D'Wayne Eskridge drives back to the football harder on Lock's first pick, would the narrative around him change? I think it's too late for that. Speaking of tardiness, Lock was too slow to look Eskridge's way on that route concept. Footwork, timing and fundamentals continue to plague Lock at various turns in his turbulent career to date.

Lock was 7-of-15 passing for 92 yards by halftime. He nearly threw a third pick before the break and damn near decapitated his receiver on the play. It doesn't feel too early to submit this blog, because anything Lock does from the third quarter on won't mean much. He'll be against backups at best and non-roster Cowboys defenders at worst.

UPDATE: He did it again. Oh no. Where the hell is Lock putting this ball? I know it's on the receiver for not digging that catch out, but come on. Help your teammate out here!!

I don't think a risk-averse, defensive-minded head coach like Pete Carroll is gonna roll with someone who makes as many dumbass decisions throwing the ball as Lock does. Geno Smith has been in the offense longer, still has plus-if-not-spectacular mobility like Lock, and doesn't put the rock in harm's way as often.

Update #2: Turns out, yeah, Pete's rolling with Geno.

I was hoping for more from Lock, who was at the center of one of the few remaining preseason storylines that mean anything. I once believed in his upside. I still do to some degree. Too bad the Broncos once upon a time thought it'd be a bright idea to replace the offensive coordinator who helped him go 4-1 as a starter during his rookie campaign with Pat Motherfucking Shurmur. Because he's known for being a forward-thinking, progressive offensive mind, right? Woof. Vic Fangio pretty much got himself fired with that hire alone.

Shurmur and Fangio torpedoed Lock's development to a large degree, in my opinion. But the NFL is a bottom-line business as we all know, and Drew Lock just ain't it at this point. Sad as it makes me. Because I mean, the dude has a cannon arm and seems like a lot of fun.
