Lock I’d imagine would pickup where Geno left off of anytbing were to happen to Geno in the future. Seattle is very QB friendly it seems.
It's funny you say that. Fact is, that while most of us would probably say that we're not believers in Drew Lock (have to admit I'm skeptical). But as a Hawks fan, I can attest that the team really believes in Drew's abilities. The belief was that he was mishandled in Denver, and they wanted to see what he could do working into the system behind Geno.
I don't know that it's necessarily a "system" is more or less friendly for a particular QB. But rather, it's important to get QB(s) with the skills that you need to run whatever your system requires. Everyone thought Seattle would be terrible in 2022 after ditching Russ for Geno, and what transpired was completely unexpected in both cities.
Circa 2023 you've got Lock sitting again behind Geno, taking in the coaching and culture in hopes that he's ready when it's his chance to play. He didn't do much with the snaps he got tonight, but he didn't cause any problems either. So there's that.
Clearly the prime example this year is the success of Purdy in San Francisco. Jimmy G, and Lance couldn't do what Shanahan envisioned for his starting QB's over the last several seasons. Enter Purdy, by necessity, and the organization seemingly lucked-out into the type of player they'd coveted all along. Right player, right place, right time.
I'm not sure Geno or Brock will ever be great for our fantasy teams. But they're certainly getting the job done on the real world side of things.
