It's more archaic than urban dictionary.

Lynch has his window. Siemian is injury prone. All college and now nfl career. From severity of injury even though he claims to be ready by otas. I doubt it players always say they will be ready but coaches dont take risks and doctors need to sign off. He might be ready for training camp.

Add soft as baby shit to TS' long list of shitty attributes.

Is Trevor already being labeled as "injury prone"? Really?

Well he was hurt in college and gets hurt easily in the pros. He has a small frame and any damage to his body seems to reduce his already average arm to a noodle...

So...yep.

And before I hear any of that shit about the line - it sucked but it was ranked 24th. So it's bad, but it's not historically bad, or so bad that 'no one could survive behind it' and we should know better.

People use the bad line as a catch all for everything.

I can give you a list of bad QB's that were cut in the past by the Broncos because they were not even good enough to be back ups if you wish. Its not unheard of to see first round picks totally flame out and not even make the team. Siemian has shown that he has problems staying healthy so i dont think he will ultimately be the answer here so if by chance Paxton cant prove anything than im 100% sure that Elway and Denver will look elsewhere for a starter. The only way Paxton remains if he cant win the starting job is if he can be a competent backup but that remains to be seen right now.

First of all, I find it very disconcerting to argue with you. I feel like I'm getting cussed out by Emma Watson!

There's no reason for Elway to give up on the draft pick he moved up in the first round to select just because he's a slow developer. Instead Elway will do what is logical.

He will give Paxton another chance in 2018, but he will also bring in some competition for him via the draft next season - if he thinks he has to based on Paxton's performance. That way he wins either way. If Paxton finally figures out how to play in the NFL in his third season, fine. He wins the starting job and the rookie sits behind him.

BUT, if Lynch continues to struggle it's certain he doesn't get extended for his fifth year option (exercising that option would require paying him a boatload of $).

Under that scenario they would do with Paxton what the Seahawks did with Russell Okung, (a much higher 1st round pick than Paxton BTW). They let him play out his 4 year deal and then cut him loose by refusing to exercise their 5th year option).

I suspect that Elway might get rid of Paxton after the 2018 season if he just completely flames out. But, he'd have to be pretty bad not to even keep him on the roster since he's making virtually nothing by NFL standards (less than $1M).

But given Elway's investment in Lynch, and especially all the physical athleticism and talent that led Elway and his scouts to draft him in the first place, there's no way they will willingly conclude that Paxton is a bust - unless he just goes out and shows no improvement since last year - and that he's just not able to play in this league.

He never finished a season in college

That's true. According to Tyler Polumbus the line isn't terrible. It wasn't great last year for sure. But, there were certainly worse OL in the NFL. IN fact Polumbus is worried that the OL will get worse this year if they don't find a T in FA to replace both Stephenson and Okung, as well as find a RG to replace Michael Schofield as a starter.

Max Garcia has been no prize either, and Matt Paradis has just had 2 hip surgeries so who knows how he will respond? But, you can't replace everybody and expect things to improve.

The Broncos look to start Paradis and Garcia and find three new starters, one of whom might possibly be Connor McGovern whom they will give a look at G. The others would be FAs since the draft is unlikely to yield OL starters. It's an historically bad draft for OL this year, maybe the worst in 20 years.

Why the **** do you cling to what Polumbus says like it's gospel? If I wanted to know what that sack of shit had to say I'd just google his stupid name. I get sticking to some sources - I like PFF- because of the numbers and various people watching the games, but man, if you say Polumbus one more ******* time four thousand puppies will die.

Between college and his first season in the NFL? Hell yes he's "injury prone." These are not accidents. He's listed at 6'3", 220 but he's lighter than that, probably around 210. He's nothing like some of the bigger QBs in the NFL like Cam Newton or Ben Roethlisberger. What do people think is going to happen when lightly built, 210lbs. dude gets hit by someone like Von Miller, Tamba Hali, Kalil Mack or Justin Houston?

5th degree shoulder separation, strained ankle ligament, etc., etc., etc.

Some guys just know how to get hit to avoid injury. Trevor does not appear to be one of those guys.

He's frail. His chest is weaker than his arms.

He's an 8 year pro OL who is still friends with the players in the locker room and gets text messages from them all the time. So, he counts as an expert. You don't.

It's funny because I don't think I'm an expert. But I also don't think parroting one source that you like is insightful. My god, you're a dumber version of me with an even bigger ego.

What does his dick taste like, Cugel?
