Broncos week 11 power rankings: Drew Lock the focus of displeasure

NFL.com (Last Week: 23rd; This Week: 25th): Dan Hanzus talks about Drew Lock and asks if John Elway & Co. will have much more patience with their quarterback. It’s a fair question that many are pondering themselves.

Lock may not play this week against the Dolphins, but whenever he does play again this season, he really needs to make a case for himself to be the future of the franchise.

The Score (Last Week: 24th; This Week: 24th): The Score gave their take on one unheralded Pro Bowl nominee for week 11. For the Broncos, they gave the nod to left tackle Garett Bolles.

While this has nothing to do with this week’s matchup, it’s still a nice acknowledgment for Bolles, who had struggled in years past. He has come a long way after struggling during the first couple of years of his career as a first-round pick.

ESPN (This week: 23rd; Last week: 22nd): Was the team’s decision to decline Garett Bolles’ fifth-year option a mistake? Jeff Legwold thinks so. If they do not re-sign him, they’ll have to restart at that position. Whoever they choose to have at quarterback could have a tough time if they go a different direction.

CBS Sports (This week: 22nd; Last week: 20th): CBS Sports lets it be known that Lock needs to get better and that he was ‘ordinary at best’ against the Raiders.
