Paxton starts again

[WARHORSE]

Im actually fired up about this... If its going to be against anyone.....Jags are a good choice.

[Freyaka]

Let's be honest here. I'm not very optimistic. He played pretty bad against the Falcons and the Jags have the #4 pass defense. This could be a really, really rough game. I hope he does well, but I'm setting my expectations super low because last we saw him, he clearly wasn't ready for the NFL.

[Poet]

He's going to struggle. Badly.

[Tned]

Rotoworld isn't very optimistic.

"The Broncos have already said Siemian could play without practicing, but the situation is officially a concern. If Siemian doesn't practice Friday, it's hard to envision him suiting up against the Jaguars. Paxton Lynch would be a major downgrade for Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas."

More recently, now that it's confirmed.

"The talented Jaguars pass defense has been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just one opposing signal caller to top 280 yards against them on the year. Lynch struggled against a weaker pass defense at home against Atlanta in Week 5, managing 223 yards on 35 attempts with one touchdown and one pick. He took six sacks behind a sub-par Broncos offensive line. Lynch will be a low-end two-quarterback-league play in Jacksonville."

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/11206/paxton-lynch

That said, while I'm not excited in terms of the Broncos chance to win, because he's almost certainly a downgrade in that department, like last time, I'm excited to see what Lynch can do and how much he's grown in the last six or so weeks.

[Freyaka]

I think even Trevor would have struggled. We have got to figure out how to run the ball.

Why you say even TS it makes me laugh. Like "Even Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Dan Marino, John Elway, or Drew Brees," would struggle makes sense. I know what you mean, it is just kind of funny.

Jax's offense isn't a world beater like it was last year, but they have a lot of weapons. If the defense doesn't fix itself up we are in for a long, long, long road.

I'm not saying it in the manner you compared it to, I'm just saying that Trevor is thus far based on evidence available the better of the two QB's currently and even he would have struggled if healthy. I think no matter who the starter was, offensively this was going to be a difficult game. Our defense should end up feasting on the inept Jaguars offense.

In the same regard, I found it funny a couple days ago to read multiple Rotoworld entries talking about first how the offense in general would suffer a major downgrade with Lynch, and then talking about a major downgrade to Thomas and Sanders.

I think it's a bit overblown. I still think a lot of his problems was knowing a week ahead of time that he was going to start and he spent the week thinking about how he needed to not screw up and putting pressure on himself. While he was inaccurate coming in in relief, he was MUCH better in that game and got better as the game went on.

So, I'm hopeful that with those first start jitters gone, he will perform much better in this second start.

[BroncoJoe]

I hope Paxton does great.

Just please - ban Lynch12.

I actually take a different take on that. The reason he looked better in relief is because the Bucs had no tape on him, they hadn't prepared for him. Their entire week was spent expecting TS and they got Paxton instead.

The Falcons on the other hand new what was going to be on the field and were prepared for it.

I don't put too much weight in the "have tape on him" theory. He simply didn't play well against the Falcons.

I mean, teams had years of "tape" on great QB's like Elway, Manning and Brady. It didn't stop them from winning games.

[Joel]

Putting ANY QB (or RB) behind this line is setting him up to fail. It'll be amusing to watch Lynchs fan club make all the same excuses for him that they dismissed out of hand for Siemian, but otherwise there's little to be psyched about here. Either we beat a team any legit playoff team MUST beat (in which case, big deal) or they beat us (in which case we'll get a week of analysts talking about how the reigning Champs are in a tailspin, only a SINGLE game above .500.)

[HORSEPOWER 56]

One of the reasons Lynch struggled vs Atlanta is that the pass protection made Vic Beasley look like Von Miller. Unlike what we did vs KC and made it a little better in the second half, we didn't make any adjustments vs ATL. We still haven't figured out how to help out the right side of our Oline in pass protection.

I'm interested to see if Lynch has improved since then. I'm hopeful he has. I also think everyone is overrating how poorly Lynch played. He did a decent job in the intermediate passing game (something we don't have anymore - with Siemian it's either 5 yd passes or deep shots). I will watch with guarded enthusiasm.

Our OL and prob no OL in the league has allowed as much pressure as lynch got in that game. I will try to find the stat again on the high percentage but it was over 50% off drop backs he has pressure. I want to say 60% but i will not say for sure till i find that stat again. But siemian has seen at most upper 30%. That in mind.

Lynch did not help the OL either with scrambling and slow decision making. But it would be really hard for him to repeat that performance. Lynch has a quicker release but slower descision making for sure.

[atwater27]

I cant wait to watch him play, but really hope he doesn't get killed.

The other team having tape doesn't give you happy feet and have you panic in the pocket. I think it was far less about what the other team game planned and far more about what Paxton didn't do well, which was made worse by having two backup tackles (not that the starters don't suck as well).

As it is, Beasley, Jordan, and Houston are halfway to the HOF, just on their performances against the Broncos line this year.

It was a rough game all-around for the rookie QB, who finished the day with a 38.1 passing grade while also coughing up a couple of fumbles. Lynch especially had his struggles when he was put under pressure. On 17 pressured dropbacks, Lynch was able to manage just six pass attempts, and he completed three of them for 40 yards and an interception go with a 31.9 QB Rating. Lynch found most of his success today when he was throwing quick passes in the short-to-intermediate range. When Lynch got the ball out of his hands in 2.5 seconds or less he completed 16 of 20 passes with a 112.3 QB rating, but when he held onto the ball for 2.6 seconds or more he was just 7-of-14 with a 39.0 QB rating.

47 drop backs, 17 pressures.

Oh how I remember it...AFCCG and got beat. (Spend a 1st rounder on a Qb). Go 7-4, lose to the Chiefs and replace the starter for the 1st rounder. End the season 9-7 and miss the playoffs. The sub was made JUST BECAUSE. No injury, but for ego.

The Broncos weren't the same for years until PFM came to town. Do we really want this QB fight again? 7-4, WON THE SB, just got beat by the Chiefs, and peeps can't wait to see the #1 pick play.

Not the same; despite several similarities, there are also several key differences. Siemian wasn't last years QB, and Plummer wasn't a 2nd year 7th rounder whose ONLY snap before 2006 was a kneel down. We knew what we had (and didn't) with Plummer, but Siemian's far less of a known quantity. There's no way of knowing what Cutler would've become if both he and Kubiak had stayed in Denver; Lovie Smith's hardly known for developing QBs (Grossman and Orton, anyone?)

Be careful of the false dichotomy, too: Just because Plummer (or Siemian) isn't the answer doesn't prove Cutler (or Lynch) is, nor vice versa. If it were as simple as either/or, Cleveland wouldn't have gone through a dozen QBs in as many years.

If Plummer and Cutler offer a lesson from which we can benefit, it's that NEITHER had quality NFL coaching to develop them, nor quality NFL protection and run support giving them time to learn how to scan the field, read defenses, go through progressions and generally run an offense. Plummer got happy feet because awful Cardinals teams gave him no pocket; Cutler forces passes because the Bears gave him the same problem. By the time Plummer got to Shanny and Kubes it was too late; he was a finished product who only got frustrated by their disciplined offense. Flip side, Cutler only had a few years with them before going to a defensive team that treated its offense as an afterthought.

So don't make Lynch run before he can walk, or you'll end up with another injury-prone QB scared of his own shadow, throwing desperate passes even on the rare occasions he DOES have protection, because he never knows when it'll break down, only that it WILL break down, and usually sooner than later.

[Valar Morghulis]

Plummer and Siemian are not in the same situation

[Poet]

Trying to draw comparisons to the Plummer/Culter scenario and this scenario is absurd. For one, Plummer was a veteran and TS is a young upstart. Secondly, and more importantly, TS lost his job due to injury.

Kubiak was been committed to TS as much as any HC can be committed to a guy like TS.

"even trevor" vs "trevor would have struggled also". . . potato, po-tahto, either gawd damn way we need to run the ball. . . and maybe even pass protect a little bit also. . .

Offensive Line Woes

While neither quarterback has played well the past two weeks, it would be completely unfair to pin both of the losses on that position. The reality of the situation is that the entire offense has been abysmal, especially along the offensive line. In week five vs. the Falcons, the line was still missing starting RT Donald Stephenson and starting TE Virgil Green. Paxton Lynch was pressured on 46% of his drop backs. He was sacked six times in total. A couple of the sacks were due to the ball not coming out of his hand, but the majority of them the rush got to Lynch in 2.75 seconds or less; an awful performance for the line to say the least

Damn dude, you truly are clueless. I hope to God you aren't really an adult with a wife, because that means you have reached your ceiling and that is very scary. Much better to think you are the preteen your posting quality would indicate.

[Davii]

Lynch was pressured on 46% of his dropbacks, sacked 6 times and hit 14 times. You are wrong! Denvers o line was at it's worst that game.
Offensive Line Woes

While neither quarterback has played well the past two weeks, it would be completely unfair to pin both of the losses on that position. The reality of the situation is that the entire offense has been abysmal, especially along the offensive line. In week five vs. the Falcons, the line was still missing starting RT Donald Stephenson and starting TE Virgil Green. Paxton Lynch was pressured on 46% of his drop backs. He was sacked six times in total. A couple of the sacks were due to the ball not coming out of his hand, but the majority of them the rush got to Lynch in 2.75 seconds or less; an awful performance for the line to say the least

Looking forward to Paxton playing and doing better, not looking forward to uninformed Bronco or Lynch fanboys blinded by latent pirate homosexuality if he has a decent to good game calling for him to start the rest of the year. If he has a great game that is fantastic, but right now Siemian is the better QB. That is a peer-reviewed verified fact and I won't even entertain a discussion on this because I am right according to the biased sources I read.

How do you think Lynch will do tomorrow? I haven't watched the Jaguars, but I hear their pass rush is pretty good.

I believe he's gonna have a good game, and BRONCOS defense is gonna help out to where BRONCOS should win easily.

[atwater27]

I just hope he has been studious and devoted learning the playbook, the offense and understanding what he has to do and hopefully he understands he will be pressured a ton. I also don't want him to get killed behind our very questionable O-line. If we can't beat the Jacksonvilles of the NFL, we dont deserve to get to the playoffs.

Word. Ignore is a crutch for lack of self-control: If you don't want to read something, just don't read it. And if you're UNABLE to read it without a Pavlovian "need" to reply, well, that's not really the internets fault (just the internets problem.)

No it's not.....I use it because when I've driven 1000 miles in about 18 hours and just want to see a few posts ignore cleans up what I needed it to and I can enjoy the posts that I want to read.... I can still skip but it helps make a thread cleaner for me.

I didn't get to see him in the last game so I'm hoping for a good game.

If lynch wants to be starter he needs to beat siemian out for the job. He will not be given that.

Yes, this is true. Simply not impressed with Lynch as of now. Siemian had his best game against the Chiefs imo. It is kind of obvious that Siemians big problem is durability. Lynch is awfully inaccurate. Fairly simple passes too. How many throws did he sail over the heads of WRs? Simple 5 yard down and outs. A lot.

There are going to be some major decisions in the off season. Bottom line is a great OL makes average QBs good and good QBs great.

I'm not a QB coach or know much about QB mechanics but, I'm a little curious as it stands right now, what are Lynch's intangibles that makes him a far more worthy prospect than Siemian?

I agree it's a little concerning regarding Siemian's durability, however, I'm not sure how long even Tom Brady could stand being behind center on our O-line. The one thing that's stopping us from being a 13-3 team again is our O-line. If Siemian had a second or two longer to go through his reads, and if our run game wasn't getting mauled before they get to the line of scrimmage, we'd be just like the Cowboys, but better. Because our defense is in a different world from theirs.

You'd have to ask Lynch12 that...he drolls on and on about how much more talent Lynch has than Trevor... As for me, I don't see anything about Paxton that screams future starter aside from where we drafted him. Draft position is not itself an indicator of anything. QB's fail and succeed every year and where they were drafted has no bearing over that.

[Hawgdriver]

Coming out of college, he was highly regarded for physical measurables--height, weight, zip on throws, speed/athleticism. At his pro day, he demonstrated excellent accuracy, hitting 70/75 targets with impressive arm strength in windy/noisy conditions, missing others perhaps as a result of distractions on field. Concerns about not taking snaps under center. Considered even-keeled and focused on job, carries himself well. Objectively, he the 3d best quarterback in his draft class, rated as a late 1st/early 2d type prospect.

PFF said he was good at quick release, accuracy, touch, athleticism, zip, track record of constant improvement as the game got bigger. Said concerns were accuracy w/ hardest velocity, failure to see underneath zone defenders, back shoulder ball placement, ugly throws when rushed/pressured, and 'lulls where his accuracy is all over the place.'

Bottom line: great prospect who has continued to develop since high school, shows a skillset viable to the position.

[Hawgdriver]

Paxton has physical attributes that a Trevor Siemian will never match, but Trevor perhaps has a better knack for the decisions required of the position at this early stage in their careers, and his abilities are roughly equal to the task. While Trevor's skillset/ability might be lower than Lynch's, Siemian has been able to master the mental aspects of the position with greater facility than Paxton so far. I don't think we will know who is the better QB until 2018. Paxton might be 'developing' some of his fundamentals right now, which can cause erratic performance if he's conflicted between old mechanics and new.

I'm excited for both, only wish they had a better offensive line. The lack of run game and pass protection make it hard to truly grade either of them with great accuracy, and Lynch's continued progression in development to the NFL game makes it next to impossible to really give the guy a fair grade.

It's extremely hard to accurately judge Lynch. Nobody but some of us fans (I became a little guilty of it during training camp) thought he would be NFL ready coming out of college. He's a project, with the physical tools to be special, but as all athletes in all sports, it's not uncommon for them to never move from "potential" to performer.

At this stage, you've got a kid who is having to learn how to call plays in the huddle and work on some really basic fundamentals like that. It means that things that should be second nature to a QB, or things he's having to actively focus on not ******* up, which means he can't just focus on making plays, which is where you want him to be.

Personally, while his accuracy was just as bad or worse, I think he was better in the pocket, trying to buy time, make plays with his feet (unsuccessful, but good decision as to when to run). So, I saw improvement from Atlanta to Jax from him.

PFF doesn't yet have the pressure/no pressure breakdown, but regardless, he didn't grade out very good at all.


Quarterback grade: Paxton Lynch, 38.0

Lynch leaves plays on the field but defense picks up the win

This proved to be a frustrating display by Paxton Lynch in his second career start with inaccuracy plaguing his performance. Lynch missed on seven of his 12 incomplete passes and perhaps most frustratingly left plays on the field by putting too much air under deep balls, under-throwing them and allowing coverage to recover. Twice Lynch’s receivers had separation down the field but lofted throws allowed Jags’ CB Jalen Ramsey to recover and break up the pass. Lynch went zero of five on passes aimed 20 yards or more downfield and has only one completion on deep passes through two starts of his rookie season.

[Tned]

Ok, Cecil posted some stats for Lynch's second start. Some good and not so good.

Not surprising, and what I thought watching it, his accuracy was even worse than last time by a big margin.

In his half of relief, his off target percentage was 21.7% (6th worst week 4) and in his first start 20.6% were off target (6th worst week 5), both numbers courtesy @cecillammey

This week, the not so good (or downright bad) was that he was second worst in the league with 33.3% of his passes off target.

RT ‏@CecilLammey Paxton Lynch 2nd in Week 13 in off-target percentage (33.3 percent), only Tyrod Taylor higher Sunday (38.2 percent) #Broncos @1043TheFan

The good (once again, he was under pressure only in the mid 30's, like in the Atlanta game, so again, the line held up reasonably well for him -- compared to some other games) is that he got the ball out very quickly, which is nice and consistant. In week 5, he was also 7th fastest in the league at 2.35. The quick release helps behind that line:

RT ‏@CecilLammey Paxton Lynch was blitzed 32.1 percent of his dropbacks (6th-highest) in Wk 13. felt pressure 35.7 percent of the time. #Broncos @1043TheFan
RT ‏@CecilLammey Paxton Lynch had 7th-fastest time-before-pass average in Wk13 (2.37 seconds) #Broncos @1043TheFan

The mixed bag -- good in that he attempted long balls, bad in that he missed on his five attempts over 15 yards.

RT ‏@CecilLammey with so many deep shots (that didn't connect), no surprise #Broncos Paxton Lynch 3rd in air-yards-per-attempt (12.0 yds) Wk13 @1043TheFan

[Simple Jaded]

Lynch is already better than Tebow (it's not even close) however, watch Elway dump Lynch like a bad habit and show once again that QB's this bad only get so many chances.

The mixed bag -- good in that he attempted long balls, bad in that he missed on his five attempts over 15 yards.

RT ‏@CecilLammey with so many deep shots (that didn't connect), no surprise #Broncos Paxton Lynch 3rd in air-yards-per-attempt (12.0 yds) Wk13 @1043TheFan

That can't be true. He didn't miss on all his passes over 15 yds. The one DT went down and scooped to put us in FG range before the half was 18 yds.

[Hawgdriver]

His accuracy ('ball placement' in Kubes words, I like) was a head scratcher. I'm not going to read too much into it. When he's officially 'rolled out' as a product, then I'll bite. He was thrown in b/c of Siemian's injury. Siemian needs to stay healthy...

That's really the key. The kid gets backup reps and then is thrown in there because the starter can't stay healthy. I don't like what I see, but bringing out the pitchforks when he's a replacement for two games and struggles is pretty much ridiculous.

Since the Siemian people want to use passer rating:
Siemian's first two starts: 74.4, 1 TD, 3 INT
Lynch's first two starts: 73.2, 1 TD, 1 INT

Siemian had a month of first-team reps for his two starts. Lynch had four days in his first start and 8 days in his second.

No, Mo, I'm not just trashing Lynch. Use your words young man.

HP, I'm going by Lammey's passing chart, which is based on air yards beyond the LOS. Since DT went down immediately, there was no YAC on that, so I'm not sure. Maybe his chart wasn't quite accurate. I'll see if I can post that here.

My guess, and only a guess like everything we put forth on a message board is that the head scratcher is two fold.

1. He was inaccurate in his first game and a half, but he was much more inaccurate this week. So, from that standpoint, there was regression in accuracy. More inaccurate, while looking far more poised in the pocket, which you would have expected to lead to better, not worse, accuracy results.

2. As Kubiak reported, they had been running extra long practices to get Lynch, and some other rookies, more up to speed, and he had at least the week of first team reps, plus first team reps over the bye week when Siemian was healing up, and likely quite a bit more mixed in.

[Tned]

Here's Lammey's beyond the LOS chart for Lynch's second start:

I just looked at game pass, and it was 18 yards (LOS 32, caught on 14 -- amazing, because I've been told that DT NEVER catches low balls resulting from bad throws -- go figure).

I see what I did. I looked at Lammey's chart quickly, and was thinking the lines were every 10 yards, like a real football field and didn't pay close attention to the numbers. Since the one completion was halfway through, I said greater than 15, but the lines are every five, so that 18 yard completion is what I thought was a 15 yard completion at quick glance last night.

Looking at the chart this morning, I got no idea how I thought the red football between the 15 and 20 yard line was 15 yards, other than as I said, when I quickly glanced at it, I must have thought they were 10 yards apart and didn't pay attention to the numbers. Mostly just a sleep deprived brain fart.

Lmao. Stop being a troll. You are referring to the low pass siemian did anfew weeks ago at the ankle of dt. Lynch threw his further in front of dt allowing him to dive for it. Which i will argue is never his strength. And that one off his finger tips you will argue until blue he should catch.

My guess is *Paxton* has been concentrating on developing fundamentals--footwork, shifting in pocket, throwing mechanics--and is still absorbing offensive concepts and system. He's half-baked right now, he spends brain cycles on things that confound the ability to focus solely on the ball placement task. He'll probably need several months or longer before the automatic things are automatic.

But who really knows. I guess he'll get another chance this weekend to improve.

I'm fascinated by the topic. Could use new thread. The OL is as mysterious as a . . as a ... well, it's some mysterious shit to me. I like to hear from dudes that know their business about the inner workings of offensive line play..and why Denver's is near the worst in the league, when so many other areas are at least competently average. I mean, without the historical trainwreck narrative...more of a skills and tools narrative--how they are being abused, rather than the personnel failures leading up to the current distaster.

seriously, though. . . wynn was hurt last week, and kilgo's gone. . . i read that we worked out some dudes earlier-- mostly friggin' receivers, of course. . . so with no roster move made at this point, i guess they must be counting on wynn to play. . . at least, i sure hope we aren't going out there with four DLs. . .

even assuming that billy is ready to go, the roster construction's a bit odd this year. . . two long snappers, norwood is still on the roster, only one nosetackle, etc. . . i hope marlon brown really is a beast next year. . . in the meantime, i also hope our DLs don't get worn the F out against that physical running game, with precious little depth to rotate. . .

Dak Prescott does not have that many starts. The thing that is fair to judge imo is who was passed up for Lynch. Heck, can also judge who was passed up for Osweiler.

Elway took Osweiler over Russell Wilson in 2012 and kirk cousins for that matter. He also took Lynch over Prescott.

Is that unfair? Maybe, hindsight is always 20/20. However, that is an issue imo.

To be fair to Elway and the organization though both Osweiler and Lynch were rated higher than the other QB's you mentioned. Obviously the draft is a crapshoot anyway but considering what Denver was looking for at the time they drafted those guys it wasnt far fetched to say they took the guys who were projected be the better players going into the draft. At one point this offseason Dak was being looked at pretty hard by Denver but when they had the opportunity to draft Lynch who was projected higher they took it. Oz has clearly showed that the limited time he had in college has played a factor into his maturation process as a pro but the book isnt quite done on him yet as he still has just but one full season under his belt in terms of actual starts.

But i would also guess that had Siemian or Lynch played behind the Cowboys Oline they may have faired much better than they have this year in Denver because of the Oline woes. Right now Prescott is benefiting a lot from a great Oline and a most likely the best RB in the NFL right now. Just like our QB's are benefiting from having a good defense (much like Wilson his rookie year) to which you can still win games with great defense. Cousins is really the only one out of the bunch that you mentioned that actually carries his team offensively but strangely enough he was not the first QB chosen in that draft by the Redskins as RGIII was actually drafted (or wasted of a draft pick depending on your view) in the first round. Sometimes when it comes to how good or great a QB will be is the situation to which they arrive in. I think ultimately Denver is a great enough organization that either Siemian or Lynch will have success here but there are some other parts of the team that needs to be addressed and corrected not to mention its going to take more than one season for these guys to mature enough in the mental aspect of the game itself.

I do think Russell Wilson is even better than what people give him credit for. He was the top rated passer in the NFL last year and that was without Lynch and Jimmy Graham was injured. Also, if you look at it, he has been sacked at a far higher rate than Luck. I think Luck has close to 500 more pass attempts and Wilson has been sacked more times.

Yes, he benefits from a great defense, but if you look at his QBR rating, especially in the 4th quarter, it is pretty special. He is the quint essential west coast offense QB imo.

Anyway, I guess the point is drafts are judged on a few key issues. One, is if a top draft choice is starting or on the team he was drafted by 3 or 4 years later, and if players from the same position drafted are more productive than the player drafted.

It is what it is. Obviously in Lynch's case, it faaar too early to make any conclusive opinion. Just that Dak Prescott is really looking like the real deal. Yeah, he is benefitting from. GREAT OL and RB, but have to give him credit. He is making plays. He is not just game manager.

[spikerman]

To be fair, if teams really knew what Wilson would become and what Prescott looks like he might become they wouldn't have lasted until the 3rd and 4th rounds respectively. Elway isn't the only one who didn't have them as highly rated as they should have been in hindsight.

Yeah true. That is the way it would be judged. The same position is the big factor.

Fact is in 2012 the Broncos were drafting a QB for the future in the SECOND round. I do not think Osweiler was ranked in most scouting reports ahead of Wilson or Cousins (could be wrong. ) As of now, those two QBs seem be the far better prospects.

It really is not fair, but that is how draft picks are judged. One of the ways. Obviously, he has been great with other decisions. In fact at this point he is achieving legendary status as a GM.

Is that unfair? Maybe, hindsight is always 20/20. However, that is an issue imo.

I would only say it's fair if you have the discussion in the context of the success/failures of drafted QBs in general. So, a good exercise would be to look at all the QBs drafted in the first round over the last 15 years. I did, it's an eye opening experience in terms of the "throw a dart and pray" skill which is drafting NFL QBs. You don't even need to go to second round QBs (but can for fun) to see what a low percentage of QBs drafted early (first/second round) turn out to be quality starters.

[Tned]

I'm late to the show, so I assume it's already been pointed out that Jerry Jones was trying to trade in front of the Broncos to pick Lynch, so it's not like he rated Prescott higher than Lynch. Picking QBs is a crap shoot, it is literally a roll of the dice with all but a few of the true, true blue chip prospects.

The trend outside of 2004 is that AT MOST 1-2 first round QB's pan out per year, sometimes it's less than that even. 2002 and 2007 didn't have any starters pan out nor did 2013.

Yep, with Grossman and Pennington barely successful, but did start for a few years, and the book is still to be written on Bortles and Bridgewater, but at least Bridgewater looks good, but you can't know for sure this early in his career.

Bortles really doesn't look that bad either. At first glance he looks like he's regressed, but if you look at his interceptions, the guy's had terrible luck with his WR's this year. A huge majority of his INT's are passes that the WR has in their hands and then tips up into the air. That's 100% on the WR (just like the one that Harris intercepted this week)

I kinda felt I had to include Grossman and Pennington simply due to the fact that they did start for a decent period of time and made the playoffs. I nearly included Sanchez, but he never really stuck with a team long term long Grossman/Pennington did.

[Hawgdriver]

Tannehill?

[Freyaka]

Tannehill?

Yea, I suppose a case could be made for that since he is a current starter.

[BroncoJoe]

Not worthy of a new thread, so I'll just put this here. I can hear heads exploding already.

Understood, just meant that with 13 and 10 starts respectively, it's too early to know on Bortles and Bridgewater. Especially Bridgewater, I think there is promise, but hard to say.

I used the term "successful" with Grossman and Pennington, only from the perspective that for us QB spoiled Broncos fans, there aren't many of us that would be happy with either of them as the starter.

Yea, really. I posted that as a joke last week, but I guess TJ Yates coming to the Broncos is no longer in joke territory.

[tripp]

Is it Gary Kubiak's offense that's making Lynch play poorly, or is Lynch just simply not playing that well?

Let's say for example he ran a style of offense similar to the Patriots, would he perform better as a QB? I know the O-line wouldn't change in terms of protection, but is our system too complex for him?

I look at Peyton's struggles in this style of offense, and I can't help but wonder if maybe it's our style on offense that's creating more problems than anything else.

Kubiak has had very good success with every QB he's ever coached. I'm going to guess Paxton.

What's funny is Tned joked about that last week...now it's actually happening.

This will not be a good sign for Lynch12, oh he'll try and spin it, but this doesn't bode well for the staff's faith in Paxton to get it done.

4 QBs have run his system here in Denver....all with the same meh or worse results. You'd be crazy not to at least question it at this point.

Lol and people think kubiak doesn't fall in love with poor quarterbacks. There's no reason yates should be working out for anybody. This says to me that kubiak is realizing that Trevor isn't ever going to be healthy to play week in week out, need a backup but tj yates? Smh

[Lynch12]

Kubiak system can only work with an o line/ strong running game. Always been that wayI. Without the misdirection, play action stuff the passing game is going to struggle especially without a run game.

[Lynch12]

Kubiak play designs as far as the straight up drop back passing game goes sucks, his pay calling sucks when it comes down to that as well.

[Valar Morghulis]

Maybe, but Peyton already started to struggle in gase's offense the year before and the other three are all more or less rookies

I do think the majority of issues stem from the oline, including the possibility test that post of hood scheme is no longer effective against a larger, but equally athletic defensive line

[BroncoJoe]

4 QBs have run his system here in Denver....all with the same meh or worse results. You'd be crazy not to at least question it at this point.

Well, 2 of them won the Superbowl last year...

That said, I get it. However, last year we had a broken-down HOF QB, a backup that wasn't all that, and this year essentially two rookies. I don't think we're seeing Kubiak's real offense.

[Lynch12]

At some point you have to run your ( real offense ). How the hell can Trevor not run the real offenze when he's been studying it for a year and a half? At some point its fair to question kubiak.

[BroncoJoe]

Sure - at some point. The fact he was dealing with a QB last year that wanted to run his own offense, then a QB that isn't all that good plays a part. Plus, they were both learning the new system - yet we still won the SB.

This year, I agree (sort of) that Trevor should have a better understanding, but let's not lose sight of the fact he's never started or played in an NFL game until week one. Understanding and executing with live bullets flying are two different things. It takes time. Paxton was not in an NFL style offense in college, and his learning curve is going to be much greater.

It's FAR too early to throw our SB winning HC under the bus at this point.

I think it's more to do with Lynch coming out of a very low IQ QB system. Not meaning he's low IQ, but that they didn't require to do much other than take the snap and throw the ball. So, just calling plays in the huddle that he's getting relayed in his earpiece is completely new territory for him, not to mention more complex offensive concepts, probably things like reading defenses and making protections changes, etc.

It's not that he can't play, but that he has a ton to learn, which interferes with his ability to just make plays.

How can we run his "real" offense when his real offense requires competent o-line play and we have yet to see that?

It's not throwing him under the bus, its throwing his offensive scheme and play calling under the bus. Whether Trevor is rookie or not he should have the entire playbook at his disposal after a year and a half man. Whether he can perform it is another thing but the entire playbook should be being used for Trevor.

And dont kid yourself wade Phillips and his defense won kubiak that superbowl, it absolutely had zero to do with his offense

[Lynch12]

Kubiaj should be at elways office drilling him about the offensive line, unless of course he and elway both think they can still make great offensive linemen out of undraftees and late round picks like the glory days which has proven to be a bad formula for us.

So what's Trevor excuse for not being able to run the ( real offense )? Only thing he was askrd to do lazt year and a half was learn the real offense.

I do think the majority of issues stem from the oline, including the possibility test that post of hood scheme is no longer effective against a larger, but equally athletic defensive line

My thinking is that it's partially due to the larger/faster defensive players, but in large part due to many player safety rules making it much harder to engage low/cut defenders to the ground. They are trying to run the zone scheme much more upright than in the past, and it's much harder to pull it off effectively.
