re: It doesn't matter how good Lock does this Saturday

I disagree.

This team needs a reason to get excited, a good/great game from Lock provides that.

Momentum is a big deal in football, this team can still make some noise.

I believe they are revitalized right now, a bad game kills it.

If Lock comes out and lays and egg, it's gonna be tough to dig out of that hole. Guys will start to mail it in, snowball effect, etc.

If what I hear is true, this team is gravitating towards Lock as a leader, and if the rumors about Mauk are true, there's the reason they didn't give the effort for Mauk.
