As a young player, Perkins has known exactly 1 NFL offense, and no doubt not the full play book.
To go to Denver and have to digest a playbook on the fly as a potential QB2? Despite Lock's issues, I think Lock is a lock.
I remember the concern on this board (and from Jourdan) when BEFORE the 1st preseason game, the Rams decided to go with Allen at Center. A guy who played a bunch of games for the Rams at Center. So he will have had over a month to get in synch with the Oline and with Stafford. Someone bringing in Perkins as a QB2 is the proverbial changing horse in mid-stream. It would be unfair to him or the team. Won't happen or I'll eat my keyboard.
Of course it won't happen. I don't think Denver is going to do that. I just think they should do it.
What is important re: the offense is that they run the WCO with its labyrinthine calls. If you don't know it, you're gonna need time to get up to speed. That wouldn't be an issue for Perkins.
Lock can know the offense backwards and forwards but he's a bad QB. He locks onto receivers and struggles to get through reads. Just making a very simple point that our QB3 is better at what they need at their backup spot than the guy they have on their roster. Lock is way more talented than Perkins, who has questionable arm strength. But IMO Perkins would be better for them.
But it seems like mentioning Perkins in any way this particular offseason garners responses like he's being overrated. Not doing that here. Just observing that Denver's QBs are that bad.
