Feel free to chime in if you like, but I think it's been discussed every which way at this point. I'm curious percentage wise how many are for a change and how many would stick with Mauk as the starter next week.

Upvote if you'd make the change to Lock.

Downvote if you'd stick with Mauk.

Lock has looked good enough in his opportunities that I am interested.

The WRs are the ultimate problem on this team, absolutely no doubt in my mind about it, but they have done relatively better under lock.

Part of that may be he will give them a concussion with the laser beams they throw if they don't catch them.

I'd start Mauk with a quick hook at the ready.

Keep rotating Lock in with the idea of lengthening his playing time.

If I'm GP my only cause for pause to a complete switch is if I think my OLine could get my quarterback beat up and beat down. Harsh, but true.

Mauk starts to see if he can developed a rhythm, if not make the switch for 3-4 series, repeat if necessary.

I would start Lock. He's shown glimpses of brilliance that Maty just doesn't offer. And as mentioned by others, the offense plays up to his level more when he's in charge.

It's not personal against Maty, just business.

There really isn't ant difference in performance between the 2 QBs. Mizzou isn't going to win the east. Might as well develop Lock.

He was great in interviews after the game talking about his progressions on his sack.

As I expressed in the other thread, I think the success of the QBs ability to deliver has a lot to do with how the offense as a whole performs. I think Lock outperforms Mauk at this point. I see a different offense when Lock is in there. To me a switch is what this offense needs at the moment. It's something to build on. It's also something to advertise to recruits. This is the QB you would be playing with. This is the future.

I would tell the guys this week that QB1 is up for grabs and see who takes it. I would bet good money that Lock would.

I don't know if you make the switch yet.

I think you up Lock's number of series. Give him a chance to take it on the field.

Even though I voted for a change, mostly just because I'm ready to on to preparing for the future, not because I think it's a fix for this season, I think that's pretty reasonable too.

I just think 1 series a half is hardly enough to get any rhythm or learn much.

Agree 100%. He needs more playing time. At the very least, we need to have him play 3-4 series in a row. Let him get some rhythm and consistency with the offense.

I would personally just play Lock and roll with it.

However, at the very least he needs to get a couple consecutive series. Hopefully if that happens he leaves GP with no choice.

In order of preferance:
1. Go Lock the rest of the way
2. Go Mauk the rest of the way

Just stop this freaking rotation. It jacks up all continuity. We complain about the WRs but they are catching a different type of ball from each QB. Against Kentucky Mauk moved the ball well and then we pulled him and he never looked the same. I think this rotation is worse than option 1 or 2. It's time to pull the trigger or put the gun away.

I agree with this approacH if this years success is the goal. Pick one and stick with him. If the coaches are building toward the next 2 years, then keep getting Lock reps until he overtakes Mauk.

That's what makes this young man seem even more special. He's had good outings without getting a rhythm with the offense. He gets in there and they just gel immediately. This just screams starting QB. They always brag about Mauk having the "it" factor. It's hit and miss. To me Lock has the real "it" factor.

--------------CMP- ATT--YDS-- CMP%- YDS/A- TD-INT- RAT
Maty Mauk-57---110---654--- 51.8---- 5.95---- 6--- 4--- 112.5
Drew Lock-15--- 25----225--- 60.0---- 9.00---- 1--- 1--- 140.8
(From ESPN)

It's pretty apparent to me which QB has more upside, granted 25 passes is not a lot to go on but EVERY drive Lock has it goes into the opponents territory, save for the tipped INT.

EVERY drive, EVERYONE.

When Lock comes in I feel like I'm watching a Mizzou offense, when Mauk is on the field I feel like no one is ever open(or he doesn't see them), and the defense is playing the run. Mauk has not improved his play in his entire career. If you want proof here are the numbers.

2013: 68/133 1071yds 51% 8yds/a
2014: 221/414 2648yds 53.4% 6.4yds/a
2015: 57/110 654yds 51.8% 5.9yds/a

ESPN
the fricking guy is getting worse

Last year against SEC opponents Mauk never cracked 60%, NOT ONCE

I know GP most likely won't let Lock start this year. Hypothetically, I think they should move Mauk to the slot and let Lock play QB. Mauk is athletic enough to be a slot WR in the SEC. It kills two birds with one stone by helping both our wideouts and qb's

I like getting Lock a series...but I agree with this as well.

Mauk started 9/10 and was driving the ball early...once lock got his series, it was seemingly downhill.

Maty had a hot hand, and seemingly got it cooled by the Lock series. Sometimes you just gotta roll with whats hot.

Drew Lock killed his own chance to be the starter. It was in that drive where he went like 4/4 but then missed that wide open TD. Had he hit that we would have been winning and there's no way you could go back to Mauk.

It sucks I know, but Drew had his best chance and didn't convert.
