Why Jalen Milroe will take over as the Seahawks backup QB by midseason

The Seattle Seahawks have a solid QB room by many accounts. Others say Seattle has nothing but question marks at the position. All I know is that Jalen Milroe will pass Drew Lock on the depth chart by midseason.

Drew Lock may be reduced to the role of the Seahawks' emergency QB by Week 9. That's less a slight on Lock's ability than an endorsement of Milroe. If Milroe continues the growth he's shown from his first appearance at the VMAC up to minicamp, there's every reason to expect he'll be ready for the backup role.

As has been noted, and correctly so, Lock has a major advantage over Milroe in the competition for the backup role.
