That would depend. If everyone else is pulling their weight and he still looks terrible then I would probably give Zanders a look fairly quickly, maybe after the Georgia game. And in terms of having the "it" factor, most people that have been around him feel he has it in spades...
"He’s one of my 10 favorite kids I’ve ever worked with. He’s just a tremendous young man. He has that presence to him that’s more important than his talent. He’s a leader of men and he’s going to have tremendous influence not just on the football field but in life. … He’s a guy that has a really good chance to develop into a big-time pro prospect if developed properly at Mizzou."
"I felt like he was a top-five talent in the class. There was (UCLA commitment) Josh Rosen, who was by far the most talented kid in the class. Then I felt Drew and a few others were in that next group. When they get some man strength, when he gets in the weight room a little bit and matures, Drew’s got a chance to be as good as anybody."
"The term I use is he’s got that no-flinch mentality. Nothing bothers him. His hair could be on fire and you wouldn’t know. He’s just super cool in a good way. He’s super cool but doesn’t project himself that he’s cooler than you. That’s a unique gift. He makes others feel like everything’s all right and that he’s got it under control."
"Drew Lock is an NFL prospect the day he steps on campus. Drew doesn’t need to hear that from me. He doesn’t need that extra pressure. But there’s a handful of guys who when they go to school their freshman year I know for a fact GMs are tracking them. There’s a lot that has to happen, but he’s one of those guys."
-As most people already know those quotes are from former NFL QB Trent Dilfer who is around the best QB prospects in the country on yearly basis. And it wasn't just him saying those type of things, even the coaching staff was raving about his intangibles and leadership abilities for a freshman prior to the season. The problem was he wasn't given any time to get in the weight room and mature and gain some of that "man strength" before he was thrown in there. And not only was he not physically ready, he was thrown into an awful offense and situation. The majority of the QBs in the NFL HOF would of appeared not to have the "it" factor had they been put on that offense and played in the SEC as a true freshman. He might not end up being a great college QB but making any long term prognosis about him based off last year is foolish.
