Drew Lock needs to stay healthy

For one, Drew Lock cannot get injured. That is the biggest thing, in my opinion, that would impact the 2020 season. The Broncos are relying on Lock to continue his streak of games to start out his career. He has only played five games but was on a hot streak to end the 2019 season.

It sucks that there is no training camp for every player to get the full training camp experience under their belt, but it is a good thing that Lock has met up with several of his teammates on his own. The chemistry building is one of the most important things.

The Broncos did not do a lot to get Lock some help in terms of the backup quarterback. They signed Jeff Driskel but the former Lion has a 1-7 record as a starter.

I just cannot believe that the Broncos would be successful if Lock were to go down, especially with no training camp. At least Lock has had experience with some of the offensive players on the roster.
