Denver Broncos: Teddy Bridgewater’s advantages over Drew Lock

2. Bridgewater will likely be the better practice QB

It can’t be overstated that, while Bridgewater is not as physically talented as Drew Lock, he’s certainly been more accurate with the football and over a much longer period of time.

In training camp and OTAs, you can’t sack the quarterback. Although Bridgewater can’t just sit back there and get touched by all 11 defenders before making a throw, there’s a slight advantage here in terms of being able to work from a mostly clean pocket.

Lock as a gunslinger and Teddy as a game manager makes this point pretty crucial when it comes to the way each guy practices.

It’s not out of the question that Lock would make more mistakes against the Broncos’ number one defense in practice than Bridgewater given he is typically trying to make the big play.

Bridgewater’s conservative nature can only take a team so far, but it might help him win a camp battle against Drew Lock if it means making fewer mistakes and more consistently accurate throws.

The Denver Broncos may have to weigh preseason games pretty heavily because of this factor.
