As preseason ends, Seahawks’ QB story behind Sam Darnold not totally reassuring
Veteran backup Drew Lock’s been a starter. He has proven he can win. Jalen Milroe is proving to be inconsistent, and a longer-term question.
The Seattle Seahawks' quarterback situation has not been as straightforward as they had hoped. Sam Darnold, the team's Super Bowl champion QB, has faced challenges in the preseason. Drew Lock, the Seahawks' veteran backup and former Denver Broncos starting quarterback, has been where Jalen Milroe is now in his career. Lock performed brilliantly in practices and games when defenders didn't rush him, but when the pressure came, his passes and decision-making faltered.
In the Seahawks' preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, Lock started and looked sharp, securing a 16-3 lead over Tennessee's defense. However, after Jalen Milroe struggled with decision-making and throwing two interceptions, the Titans managed to rally and win the game 19-16. Lock advised the young Milroe to "continue to find ways to get to the next play," focusing on clearing his head and not letting pressure affect his performance.
Despite his success in the preseason, Lock still needs to improve to maintain his starting role, as quarterbacks are crucial assets in the NFL.
