QB Situation

[listopencil]

Then why did Denver draft an edge rusher?

Because he was there.

Because fans (I) could spell his name.

I had a friend on FB last night pondering why the Broncos aren’t willing to make the switch from Siemian to Oz. I thought about that as well and came up with this possible explanation.

Lynch is still waiting in the wings. I’m not sure what his timeline for return is but my understanding is he’s throwing at practice now. I can’t help but think they’re waiting until he’s ready and not making the switch to Oz because it’s a bad look if they swipe a couple wins with Oz then go back to growing pains and ugly losses with Lynch.

Ideally Lynch will get 7 starts this year. Looking ahead he will likely be inheriting a 3-6 team at that point. That is actually a good situation for him because without tanking the season the team can expect him to play with everything on the line. What else is there to lose? That would give the team at least some evaluation before going into a QB rich draft.

If Lynch gets 7 Siemianesque starts then the team can look at a draft pick or maybe even look at bringing in Kirk Cousins.

I’ve been a supporter of Siemian mostly because I want OUR QB to succeed. Last night the offense as a unit made a lot of mistakes, but Siemian made more than his fair share. He is just not improving or even holding steady. The line is slightly better this year and the run game is significantly improved, yet Siemian can’t seem to get it right.

Time to really start looking at what’s in the team’s future at the position.

Don't be surprised if Case Keenum wins the starting job.

Not sure what you mean by that. Case Keenum is the starter .....period. The Broncos have made that quite clear through both their actions and their words. There will be no QB competition for the starting spot in Denver's training camp this year. Paxton Lynch and Chad Kelly will duke it out for the backup role.

Bye Bye Siemian.

At the 32-33 mark (lol) is that a toss sweep to Henderson with Janovich blocking out in front of him? I'm pretty sure it is. I keep playing it over and over again.

I would agree with your observation on the toss sweep.

I just love the video because it is like football is close. Man I hate to wish the summer away, but I am so ready for training camp and the regular season to get here.

Bye Bye Siemian.

Who are you? Siemian signed with the Vikings months ago. We prefer our posters on the Broncos boards to be slightly knowledgeable.

 

[GNG]

Okay.

Chad Kelly in shape and ripping it at Denver Broncos minicamp

Chad Kelly news (nice catch up on Chad) Jake Butt quote

Kelly makes the most of extended reps during rookie drills 

Chad Kelly interview - comes across committed and level headed - looks in good shape

Going to be a fun battle for that back up spot between Lynch and Kelly. Make or break time for Lynch to see if he can even make it as a back up in this league.

Bye Bye Siemian.

Siemian has been gone for weeks now. This thread and the post you quoted date back to last October!

I mean he'll be outta the league within a couple years. He's that bad.

Months

Months

I feel better knowing he doesn't know how long Siemian hasn't been on the team either LOL.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Well he wasn't wrong... He has been gone for weeks and months.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. It wouldn't surprise me if Trevor Siemian enjoys many years as a capable backup. Yes, he's not a good starter but could play the back up role well. My guess is that he'll make more NFL money than many on the Hoop will make in half a lifetime.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see about him.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan but I saw enough to make me believe he can probably have a decent, backup QB role for a number of years.

I've seen that too with him.
