All 4 of the guys behind Lock right now are equally unacceptable for SEC conference play. None of them are demonstrably better or more capable of excelling against an SEC defense than the other 3. They're all borderline backups and little else.
That's one of my greatest frustrations with Odom - you have a half-dozen QBs with exceptionally successful college careers over the last decade+ here, some of whom are cashing NFL game checks. Yet you can't manage to pull together a better QB room than Kansas for 2019 when the starters gig is going to be wide open? That recent history and the pedigree of the SEC and he's still picking up scraps.
Pretty damn poor, IMO.

Funny how no matter how bad the state teams are, 4 star/5 star kids dream to play for their home state colleges in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, etc.....
Until the days that more kids who are 4 star/5 star athletes in Missouri decide to stay at home and build this program here, MU is just going to be 2nd tier. They will have to find a way to make 2 & 3 star athletes play above their level and make this team competitive.
Beckner and Lock are anomalies.....kids who stayed home and played here. We've had a few more over the years but more times than not (and not just football, basketball too) we are watching the best of Mizzou play elsewhere.
