Drew Lock has had a rollercoaster of a preseason. In Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers he completed 11 passes on 15 attempts with 102 passing yards to go along with 2 touchdowns and a 131.1...
This play is frustrating for multiple reasons. Lock is throwing from a set position in the pocket with no pressure being placed on him. It is an in-stride throw that you would expect every quarterback in the NFL to be able to make 10 out of 10 times.
The second aggravating part of this play is it was a miss over the middle. In addition to where the miss took place, Aaron Fuller, the intended target on the play, was wide open with green grass all around him meaning it could’ve gained more yards beyond what was required. Now there will be some who will argue Fuller should have made the catch since it hit his hands, which is understandable as he should’ve caught it, but it does not excuse the miss by Lock.
I wrote an article about a month ago where I argued Lock should be the Seahawks’ Week 1 starting quarterback because of the upside he brings with him compared to Geno Smith. I thought the arm strength and athleticism he brought to the table would add a dimension to the Seahawks offense that is not available with Geno Smith at the helm. Despite Smith having an underwhelming preseason that saw him post a completion percentage of 59% and passer rating of 78.
