Someone mentioned it earlier... right now, I'm in that Trevor mode - he was good enough to have some success and then fell back to earth. I think Lock definitely has more upside than he does and is better than anything else they've trotted out since Manning, but that's a low bar.

I'm not going to put huge expectations on him at this point and get all pissed off if he falls flat in his 3rd start (2nd on the road) against a top AFC contender. I think I'm reasonably and caustiously optimistic with him... win 2 of the next 3 to end the season, making him 4 and 5 would be a nice way to end 2019.

Maybe he's Alex Smith Light... or Alex Smith/Jake Plummer ... nobody knows, but there's some promise there and if that can consistently continue to improve, I am good.
