Drew Lock’s Seahawks starts fuel debate over his unexpected effectiveness
Drew Lock entered after Sam Darnold’s injury and completed 16 of 22 passes, with Mike Wright saying he settled down and executed Seattle’s needed offense.[1]
Several shows judged Lock effective: Greg Cosell called him efficient, Bill Simmons called him legitimately solid, and Andy Holloway said he looked better than Darnold.[2][3][4]
Fantasy Footballers highlighted Lock’s statistical case, calling him the NFL’s highest-rated passer through 2 weeks and saying he was playing well.[5]
The conversation is not uniformly positive: Joe House would not bet on Lock on the road, while Bill Simmons said he could not tell much difference between Lock and Darnold against a weaker team.[6][3]
Pardon My Take turned the contrast into jokes and praise, calling Lock the NFL’s best quarterback in a value chart and comparing him to the Patrick Mahomes of Cooper Rushes.[7][8]

“Seattle was Atrocious. Drew Lock looked a lot better than Sam Darnold did. Made some mistakes in the defense getting cooked. This was the lowest implied point total for a team, Washington, going into the week and they scored what, 30-someth”
