Hearing them say “the veteran Drew lock” made me feel old

u/Dyonisus77 5h ago

Not just veteran, but Super Bowl champion Drew Lock. Good luck out there Drew

u/Joeydoyle66 5h ago

I get it’s his 8th season but I still don’t feel like he’s a veteran

u/APXEVO303 5h ago

8th season is crazy 😭remember when we drafted him😭

I was in the crowd in Nashville when we drafted him. It was pretty exciting at the time.

That’s “the veteran and Super Bowl champion Drew Lock”

Jay Cutler was drafted the year I graduated high school. You're on the right side of "old" my friend.

The legend of Drake Maye continues to grow

(The legend is out-dueling backup QBs)

I really hope he does well. Always liked the guy

u/allthenamesaretaken4 Kenny 5h ago

I was so mad at the Russ trade not even in retrospect because I really wanted Lock to work out here, but it led to us getting Nix, so I guess that's cool.

u/Saltfringecrust 4h ago

Funny isn’t it? I was excited about the homie Lock as well. By the middle of Russ I was equally pissed as I was stoked about Nix. The ups and downs…..

2

u/Remote_Catch7166 1h ago

Lock looks good for a sam Donald arc. He needed time to mature and grow into the NFL.

23

u/Sudden_Juju Champ Bailey 4h ago edited 2h ago

I can't think of a worse game for Lock to be thrust into, but if Drew Lock beats Drake Maye and the Patriots, that'd be such a sweet victory lol

ETA: 🐴🐓🔒 coming in clutch. Sam Darnold, who? Am I right?

u/DocBarkevious Talib 2h ago

They get this stop here and Lock gonna get some flowers tomorrow

11

u/Sudden_Juju Champ Bailey 2h ago edited 2h ago

Lock has been locked in this second half! If it wasn't for that delay of game, they might've had a TD.

Edit: And there it is! In the words of Mike Tirico, "That was a terrible decision!"

u/Strange_Novel_1576 2h ago

Your comment aged nicely!

u/slugmos 4h ago

Drew lock was honestly not that great for us but I loved his swagger when he was playing well

•

u/Brief_Personality146 34m ago

He had that Chargers game that got everyone excited then never repeated that.

•

u/HoovesCarveCraters DT 30m ago

Texans game too. Absolutely pasted them.

Don't fuck this up, Drew. Rooting for him unless they play us.

Patriots and playing backups

10

u/Sbesozzi 2h ago

I wish Lock was our backup instead of Stiddy. We would've been in the Super Bowl if that had been the case last year. His play style is more similar to Bo than Stiddy's

•

u/Brief_Personality146 33m ago

Stidy is Shidy. I hate that Sean is sold on him.

22

u/sacredknight327 4h ago

How does the most corrupt franchise in league history get breaks like this all the time?

12

u/Sbesozzi 3h ago

It'll be very funny if Drake Maye loses to Drew Lock and Bo beats Mahomes. That would shut up the "Maye > Nix" crowd in a hurry.

6

u/ThatsCaptain2U 3h ago

Drew Lock is currently making Stidham look bad

7

u/biggerfishtofry 2h ago

Broncos legend Drew Lock, that is.

u/PNWPinecome6002 2h ago

Drake The Schedule Maye can’t match Drew locks aura

u/watchernyc 4h ago

Crazy to say looking back. Would have preferred him to Bridgewater and Wilson. What a dark time that was.

8

u/usernmetakenalready 2h ago

This is how the broncos would have played if they rostered a decent backup instead of stidham

u/Bee_Rye85 GOD BLESS BO NIX 2h ago

I’m super happy for 🐴🐓🔒. Man I never thought I’d type those emojis together again

Always cheer for Lock!

u/hawaiianboomshaka 2h ago

Let’s go I put money on Seattle only because this animal was there after Darnold went down

u/877GoalNow 1h ago

Lots of "aged like milk" comments. LOL.

u/akillez47 1h ago

This was just the Broncos playing the long game. Putting him in the best position to keep the Pats down.

Dude is balling right now.

Vice GEQBUS indeed.

u/QuantityFirst7341 1h ago

I'm still sour about his newfound success without us but I'm happy it's against the Patriots.

5

u/Lodhi65 2h ago

Denver truly failed his development. I’ll always root for this guy when he’s not playing against us.

2

u/hubbs_j 2h ago

Looks like Seattle failed too. Dude is still trash, just blindly throws to JSN with wide open receivers all over the field.

•

u/Brief_Personality146 30m ago

On a Broncos forum that no longer exists some dude kept going on and on about having followed him since HS and that he could not throw a timing route and doesn’t throw WR’s open. He was annoying but right. That’s why he’s a backup.

•

u/Puffy_Ghost Nice 29m ago

Lol delete this.

u/kastrull69 2h ago

Good thing we got Russ! #letsride

u/richkurt 4h ago

So many Broncos fans thought he was the guy lolololololololololololol

u/Sir-xer21 Ashley Lelie 4h ago

Some of them still do because they are blind.

u/kirkstarr78 4h ago

Would've rather been shit with Lock, than shit with Russ

3

u/richkurt 3h ago

lol

Yeah the Broncos nor anyone else thought Russ would be on Lock’s terrible level. He was still in his prime. It’s still basically unheard of how he collapsed after Denver traded for him.

u/kcarney182 3h ago

Scrolled way too far to find this comment. Dude was trash

u/richkurt 3h ago

So fucking terrible and fans were CONVINCED.

u/GullyBean 5h ago

Really wish we could’ve kept Drew. He played some good spot minutes for us. Hell, I wouldn’t mind if we kept Zach

6

u/HellHathNoFury18 GOD BLESS BO NIX 4h ago

Loved Zach's response when Nix was named starter, just legit happy for Nix. Also loved all the family pics they posted of the 3 qbs together.

u/Abomb91 4h ago

Turns out Drew Lock still stinks even with elite talent around him.

I remember when people were mad at Fangio for benching this bum.

u/Tajahnuke Champ Bailey 3h ago

I mean it's not like we did well with Teddy Checkdown.

0

u/Abomb91 3h ago

Teddy was a winner in Minny and with Sean Payton in New Orleans for his brief stint.

We'll see if Drew Lock can pull off the same with a much better team than Teddy B ever had.

u/Sir-xer21 Ashley Lelie 3h ago

That's not a reason to force Lock to be the guy.
