The Broncos finished the preseason 3-0 and now turn their attention to the regular season opener on September 12th at the Giants in MetLife Stadium. The biggest decision the Broncos made in the preseason was naming Teddy Bridgewater the starting QB over Drew Lock. It was a tight competition in camp, and Lock certainly played well, but Vic Fangio and his coaching staff decided to go with Bridgewater to give them that veteran presence and stability. Make no mistake, Fangio is under pressure to win this season. After going 12-20 his first two years, and with new GM George Paton in the front office, Fangio knows if this season falls apart, he is most likely gone. He went with the safe pick in Teddy, and a guy who is a middle of the road option at QB instead of rolling it back and taking a chance on Lock. I wanted Lock to win the job, and I think he should have been named the starter, but I get why Fangio went with Teddy. I do think that Teddy is a better option at QB then when we started Joe Flacco, Case Keenum, and Trevor Siemian, but we still don't have that franchise guy that we were looking for-and hoping that Lock would be. You never know how the season will turn out, and there is a good chance that Lock will end up playing at some point for the Broncos this year due to the fact that most teams deal with some type of injury with their starter during a typical season. Maybe Lock will take advantage of that opportunity. Until then, I will support Teddy as the starter. If he plays well, the Broncos will play well, and they will be winning games-which is what we desperately want based on the last four seasons.
