From the article

Lock sounds like someone who has confidence and belief in who he is as a quarterback that's different from the first time he was here. It's evident to his teammates.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Lock's matured approach and teammate confidence suggest upside if Darnold misses extended time.

The source expresses optimism about Lock's potential if he becomes the starter for an extended period. Lock has demonstrated growth and a different mindset than his previous stints with the Giants and Seahawks, focusing on ball security and getting the ball to talented players rather than forcing deep shots. Lock stated: "Having the mindset of taking care of the football, getting it in our guys' hands, knowing that we have the best defense in the world, in my opinion, let's keep moving the ball forward and seeing what the score looks like at the end of this." Teammates including Julian Love ("Drew has been the best (No.) 2 in the NFL for years"), Abe Lucas ("he's got the utmost confidence in himself, and he balls out and he plays really hard"), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba ("full confidence in (No.) 2") expressed strong confidence in his ability to lead the offense.
