I'm playing the Chiefs defense. Rookie riding high, looking for a stumble.

Per Rotoworld...
Speaking Tuesday, Broncos GM John Elway reiterated that Drew Lock will be the team's starting quarterback in 2020.
Elway made similar comments following Week 17. It's been reported that the Broncos expect Joe Flacco (neck) to be healthy for 2020, but they have made it clear he will not be a starting option. Flacco, who famously said he had no interest in mentoring Lock, will almost certainly be released or traded.

Lock showed real potential for the most part when he played last year, and Elway just got him a ton of help at the skill positions. Let's hope the offensive line is good enough, and we can see how good Lock can really be.

Pretty excited to see if Lock has what it takes to succeed this year. Growing pains for a year with enough flashes of something more would be an acceptable year. Lots of young pieces that can grow together in this offense and I really like Gordon in the backfield as an experienced RB that can make life easier for Lock. No pressure, though... ;D

I agree with you that the criticisms in that article weren't especially strong to me, and that comes from someone that isn't as impressed with Drew Lock as most people.
I do think it's interesting that you think Lock looked especially different from Cutler. Cutler and Lock actually had very similar rookie seasons. Lock had a higher completion %, but Cutler threw down field more with a higher yard/completion rate. Cutler had a higher TD%, but Lock had a lower INT%. Maybe the biggest difference between the two is the fact Cutler faced much more pressure and got sacked quite a bit more than Lock. Lock started 5 games, and in three of them he threw for under 200 yards so I think it's pretty tough to take much out of those games. Of the two games he threw for more than 200 yards he had one game where he had 208yd, with 45% completions, and 0td/1int. I'd call that a flat out BAD game. The other game he had 200+ yards was very good at 309yd, 81% completions, 3td/1int. So all in all in five starts I'd say that he was a game manager for 3 games, he had one very bad game, and one very good game.
Overall based on what I've seen so far I think there is less separating Lock/Cutler/Flacco than most people think. Honestly, if you told elway that he found a Cutler/Flacco in the second round I think he would be pretty happy with that or at least he should be. Not sure if that's who you want as the face of your franchise long term but on a rookie contract for the next few years you have time to evaluate and possibly get your next QB. If I were Elway I would have been tempted to draft Eason at pick #118 because I think he has a better chance of being an NFL starter than either Driskel or Rypien and might be nearly as good a prospect as Lock. That might sound like a dig at Lock but really I was just surprised that Eason was taken as late as he was.

What I like about him most (and what has surprised me) is his leadership. Everything I read on him is positive and his teammates seem to rally around him. He also seems to really have a good work ethic. Hope he is able to make another step this year, will be tough if offseason is shortened.
I feel like I am irrationally high on Lock. I don't think he will be QB # 3 or anything, but he looked decent enough last year where if things go his way he could be around QB 8-12, with some upside. Even with a young offense in 2019 they were able to have some nice flashes, and another year should give Sutton, Lock, and Fant more experience while also hopefully having Jeudy live up to his draft spot.

What does this even mean? Where would you have him ranked and what do you think his stats are like.
There is no sold. There is what you think a guy is worth and what you would pay. So what is it for you?

I have him at 4000 yards, 27 tds, 13 ints, and 200 yards running. This puts him about 276, which is QB12 on my sheet.
I bought in one league as back up QB because he fell so low. I got him as the 18th QB off the board. So I felt that was a great buy. But other might have him lower.
