Thread: If both healthy, which QB starts week 5 and why?

I honestly don't know what to think. Still, this is the quote, "Because he is clearly more talented and seemed more than mentally ready to handle regular season football today.

Bolded for emphasis. Where is the data?

Slick, the way you are posting, sounds like your feelers got hurt.

What data? You can just tell from watching them play that Lynch has better physical tools. You don't need data to prove that.

And the "more than mentally ready" part didn't mean he is more mentally ready than TS. Just that he is more than mentally ready enough to be effective.

Have you played the position? I have! Trevor clearly has the physical tools, more importantly, he seems TO ME has the mental aspect of the game down. I like his throws better.

Any other questions?

If they're both 100%, I have no doubt that Siemian starts.

2+ quarters, 14-24 and one TD, is great for a QB's first live action. Wonderful. Excellent. But it isn't enough to unseat Siemian yet, unless something is going on in practice that would cause the coaches to make the switch even without the injury.

Both seem to be developing great. But if they're both healthy, nothing we saw today would seem to dictate that Lynch should now get the nod, when he didn't before.

"Former QB thinks Trevor Siemian is a better QB than Paxton Lynch."

The hot takes.

I didn't say that. I like Siemian know. The future is untold.

You played QB huh? Well you aren't first place right now in the BF pickem standings so what do you know?

Well it should count for something.

Wave, I'm still laughing. Just when you drive me up a wall...

Yeah, you pissed me off, Tned. You used words like "idiotic" and "lack of understanding" when I wasn't even questioning why Siemian was starting.

At this point I can't imagine a knowledgeable fan questioning Kubiak et al on handling Quarterbacks.

Whoever they decide to run out there next week will be the right choice, and will be prepared appropriately.

Ok this should count for something too.

Idk anymore, I'm conflicted.

Danny Kannell played QB but he has the worst football takes on the planet. Having played it doesn't necessarily mean you can evaluate it. And not having played it doesn't necessarily mean you can't.

Trevor spins it very well, is accurate, is very mentally stable, controls the huddle and has shown nothing but humility and leadership.

I think Lynch has those same qualities and more. But...I really believe we will stick with Trevor and once we go Lynch we don't go back. Atlanta is next and it's another test for Trevor. If Trevor beats Atlanta then that buys him even more time, imo.

This is a good problem to have though people! However, If Denver got offered a high draft pick for Siemian I don't know how they turn it down. We are in excellent position either way.
