And when you start with 49% there's really only one way to go with the completion %, at least if you want to remain a starter.

As far as talent around him he also had a good enough run game to run some good play actions off of. And that WR Hall is pretty good too. 

Lock vs. SEC teams doesn't really work in his favor. Most of his damage was done against out of conference opponents so I'd pump the brakes on praising the fact he played in the SEC because overall he struggled against the SEC.

Lock in conference play:
vs Georgia, South Carolina, and Bama combined Lock completed less than 50% of his passes had 1 TD and 5 INTs.


vs Kentucky - Completed less than 60% of his passes. 0 TDs.

vs Florida 75% of passes 3TDs
Vandy 66% of passes 2 TDs 2 INTs
Tennessee 70% of passes 2 TDs
Arkansas 64% of passes 2 TDs

I think it's also worth noting that Vandy, Tennessee, and Arkansas, for lack of a better word...suck at defending the pass.

overall Lock vs the SEC completed 58% of his passes, 10 TDS and 7 INTs.

That was just 1 thing I said of the many.  Regardless if there was nowhere but up his first year that's exactly what he did,  and it went up every year, if you dont think that's a good look I dont know what to say.  His last years comp % was better than Rosen, Darnold,  and Allen's last year comp%. My point was he has the experience  and has seen pretty much any defense playing in the SEC.  He really turned up a notch towards the end of the season which I like as well, some players improve.
