No leader yet in QB competition Neither Lock nor Bridgewater is leading in the competition to be the Broncos' starting quarterback in 2021, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports. "Still even Steven," said co... Impact Lock handled the initial offensive snap on the first practice of training camp last Wednesday, but he and Bridgewater proceeded to split those reps in ensuing sessions. As intimated by Fangio, who previously said in the offseason that the breakdown would be "50-50" between the pair, the status quo will reign for the foreseeable future, likely in both practice and during the preseason when the No. 1 offense is on the field. Lock hasn't exactly lit it up since the Broncos selected him in the second round of the 2019 draft, completing 59 percent of his passes, averaging 219.6 yards per game and putting together a 23:18 TD:INT in 18 starts. Meanwhile, Bridgewater is more of a game manager, so it'll be interesting to see if the Broncos opt for upside or stability under center this fall.
