Broncos name Drew Lock & Teddy bridgewater co-starters
It’s a mile-high shootout in Denver. Broncos head coach Vic Fangio has given no quarter on who his team’s #1 signal-caller will be.
The three-time Super Bowl champs brought in Teddy Bridgewater this offseason to compete with Lock, and he’s doing exactly that.
Lock meanwhile has shown greater poise in camp thus far, despite a league-low completion percentage among eligible QBs last season. Though his arm strength and deep ball ability is unquestioned.
If he can clean up his decision-making, Lock has far greater upside to help the Broncos offense compete with division rivals, Los Angeles and Kansas City.
Bridgewater may not have the explosiveness of Lock but he provides the Broncos with a safety blanket that Lock’s relative inexperience may not afford him.
Whichever option Fangio decides to go with, the Broncos need their offense to hold up its end of the bargain if they want to be in with a shout of the AFC playoffs come January.
