Vic Fangio dropped a proverbial bomb today when asked if it was vitally important to get rookie quarterback Drew Lock playing time this season.
“I don’t think it’s vitally important. I can remember back in the strike year. Some of you weren’t born then (banter with reporters). Then another year—might not have been the strike year and a few years later. Anyway, we played a young quarterback in New Orleans for about three games and he did pretty damn good. Then [former NFL QB] Bobby Hebert held out the next year. He was part of that class action lawsuit that the players won free agency with, missed a whole season.
