Thread: Trevor Seimien

I've tried to stay away, but watching and listening to Siemien is akin to Orton. Nothing exciting about the guy. He's decent, not flashy. He says all the pc things. Thank goodness he doesn't have the fainting goat aspect, but it does look like he may be keen on throwing int's when trying to force it in there. He's serviceable, will manage the game, but don't expect to get excited.

I don't think anyone has any illusions that he will be anything more than a game manager. His job is just to hold down the fort until Lynch is ready.

I think after last preseason, there was some excitement about him. Enough that they kept him on the 53. But we didn't get to explore because of who was already here. That also works against him because when you aren't flashy, it's really easy for fans to want the new shiny toy to play. He's in a no win situation.

Honestly, he's already hit the jackpot by becoming a starter so soon after being a 7th round pick. That is exceptionally rare at that position. So even if he loses his job at some point this season, he has done enough to at least secure his spot as a backup in the league for years to come. He probably never expected in a million years to start for Denver getting drafted behind Peyton and his assumed successor in Oz, so really everything past this point should be gravy for him. I'm sure he realizes he's on borrowed time the closer Lynch gets, so hopefully he's just going out there and enjoying it while it lasts instead of caving under the pressure.

I wonder, if he's named the starter, if he'll get a bump in pay. Pretty cheap @ $615k for a starting QB!

I doubt it. Elway doesn't seem in the business of giving out charity, and Siemian doesn't really have any leverage to ask for a raise this season.

The only bump in pay he will get is if he actually performs well throughout the year and holds onto the starting job.

If he gets a bump in pay any time soon it likely won't be in Denver. I can't see Denver giving a raise to someone who they are planning on replacing soon.

**** that!

They should ask him to take less!

He could definitely play well enough to back up some other team next year, which would also probably get him more money.

That was kind of what I was saying in the game thread. I was hoping to be "wowed" by one of these guys and Siemian just seems so bland to me. I will root for his success but I'm not seeing anything special from him.

He's literally the starting quarterback.

I don't like him as a player. I'm starting to dislike him in general.
