Teddy Bridgewater vs. Drew Lock by the numbers
The Associated Press
Broncos General Manager George Paton wanted a quarterback competition and now he’s got one, after trading for Carolina’s Teddy Bridgewater Wednesday.
Assuming the Broncos don’t draft a rookie quarterback Thursday night, which remains a real possibility, it’ll be Bridgewater vs Drew Lock vying for the starting spot come September.
Here’s a numbers-based look at how the two stack up.
Experience
Bridgewater: 49 starts, 6 game-winning drives, 5 comebacks, 1 playoff start, 28 years old
Lock: 18 starts, 3 game-winning drives, 2 comebacks, 0 playoff starts, 24 years old
Last 10 starts
Bridgewater: 2,273 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, 2 fumbles lost, 66.316 completion percentage, 2-8 record
Lock: 2,508 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, 2 fumbles lost, 59.032 completion percentage, 3-7 record

Recent history says Broncos can find a valuable player at No. 9 in NFL draft
If history has anything to do with who the Broncos pick at No. 9 overall Thursday night, it likely means Denver won’t take a quarterback. The last quarterback taken ninth in the NFL draft was Marty Domres, who was selected by the San Diego Chargers in 1969. History will likely play no role in who […]

So when the new general manager comes in and […]
