From the article

there won't be a pivot to Drew Lock, who started and performed well against the Arizona Cardinals and otherwise doesn't have any turnovers through (essentially) two games played. 'We have a great backup quarterback in Drew,' Macdonald told Seattle Sports. 'Drew is a tremendous quarterback. He's a starting-level quarterback.'

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Lock's clean play (no TOs in two starts) makes him viable if Darnold falters.

Backup QB performing well in limited action; started against Arizona Cardinals with no turnovers through essentially two games played. Head coach Mike Macdonald praised him as a 'tremendous quarterback' and 'starting-level quarterback,' but ruled out an immediate pivot to Lock despite the contrast with Darnold's turnover issues. The source frames the QB decision as less about Lock being a franchise QB and more about whether he would be less of a liability than Darnold if Darnold continues to struggle.
