    I like both QBs, it's who is better between the ears. So I haven't a clue, I hope the coaches do.

    Right, because I believe that to be true. The other things I said were the same things I'm saying in this thread. You make it sound like I was running Trevor Siemian down which simply isn't true. Trevor's played well and I've acknowledged that.

    Slick I totally agree with you but I still think Siemian starts next week. This to me is still a good problem to have as we have to completely capable QB's. Lynch's obvious athletic abilities really stood out today, Siemian can make all those throws too but not with that velocity and as impressive as Siemian looked on the move Lynch looks better. We have right now a howitzer starting and a developing rail gun behind him, it is only a matter of time before the switch happens.

    I'm thinking they still stick with Trevor. He has played really good. But...Lynch has way more upside and if he's ready now then why not right?

    I feel bad for Trevor because that leash just got shorter. If he wants to be starter he will have to play mistake free. Atlanta is going to be our toughest test until the BYE imo so I think Trevor better play smart.


    But Lynch is definitely our future.

    I think it will be Siemian, because he looks to give the team the best chance to win NOW and they are a Super Bowl contending team.

    When you look at Siemian from the perspective of his first three NFL starts and first 100 pass attempts, he's played just short of amazing. He's clearly more comfortable in the pocket and makes more accurate throws. We have more receivers thrown into hard hits in the one half with Lynch than happened with the three and a half games with Siemian.

    On the other hand, while he would almost certainly be a blow to the Broncos chance to win now, Lynch showed the great athleticism that we are all excited about. When he has more experience under his belt, he has the potential to be a very good QB. The strength, mobility and cannon arm, "could" be an amazing combo for the Broncos for a long time, but we've all seen lots of athletic QBs come and go that couldn't be quality NFL starters, forget top tier ones. My hope is that Lynch can be a top tier QB in time.

    Right now, I think Siemian is the obvious choice to start, since the Broncos aren't going to anxious to simply put Lynch in to get past his growing pains, when the team is sitting 4-0.

    Um, are you really disagreeing that Lynch has better physical tools than Siemian? You can debate who gives us the better chance to win right now, but there is zero debate as to who has better physical tools. Come on man.

    Siemian probably gives us a slightly better chance to win if the o-line is playing well, but if they are playing like shit like today, Lynch gives us a better chance because he can escape the pressure.

    I'm fine with that. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Lynch's physical tools are obvious.

    Both looked impressive. One has done it for 3 1/2 games more. So IMO Trevor gets the nod and we have a little piece of mind at #2

    I'm utterly shocked that anyone at all is debating that their physical tools are even close. Lynch clearly has the better arm and is much better at evading pressure. It's not even a question.

    Tweet from Mase:

    "With Lynch at the controls, the Broncos averaged 2.5 first downs, 40.8 yards and 2.17 points per possession -- all well above NFL averages."

    Until Siemian is completely ineffective, gives up a bunch of turnovers, or costs us games, I don't see us making a switch to Lynch. Lynch's potential is obvious, but I think Siemian is the guy for now. I think Lynch even outplayed TS today, but I don't think he's done anything necessitate a switch.

    Well when you say things like that it means you are running Siemian down and feelers get hurt.
