Thread: Why the visceral reactions to Siemian?

I've seen a lot of discussions, arguments and debate about quarterbacks over the years. I've seen QBs like Tebow and Plummer polarize the fan base.

However, I'm not sure I've ever seen such visceral, angry reactions to the degree or frequency as I'm seeing in reaction to Siemian. These are the types of reactions normally reserved politically discussions and figures.

So, why do you react so strongly to Siemian and anything that can remotely be seen as praise or a positive reporter for him?

T you spelled "Lynch" wrong.

Very little lynch hate going around. Some concern about if he'll make it, but nothing like the angry reactions to Siemian.

Honestly, he bores the ever loving shit out of me. He's not watching paint dry Brady Quinn boring, but he is close. He's not nearly as bad as the fainting goat, which is a plus.

He's a bust after 15 months, it's visceral to you but it is to the 2 or 3 people that don't think he's a bust.

I have no idea what you just said or which QB you are referring to.

No way one can call a seventh rounder a bust. He has way exceeded expectations of his selection by making the team let alone his production last year

Myself, I prefer Lynch because of first round pick, bigger arm and more athletic.

I want the QBotF to win the job, which ever he is, but I'd prefer it to be a guy we invested heavily in.

That being said, Lynch didn't impress me tonight.

I don't see any visceral reactions to Siemian. At all.

It is an interesting question.... Especially because I dislike lynch so much, in part because he looks like a pirate, in part because of the way king goes on, but mainly because I see a bad mix of Brock and Tebow and just don't rate him.

I think I like the underdog story and therefore automatically dislike lynch.

Therefore, it's possible others are emotionally invested in the first round draft pick (and all that is associated with first round picks) and want elway to be right, as well as hope our qb play reaches manning/elway level again and don't trust a seventh rounder to get there.

It is definitely a weird psychological response to having choice.... If you have two qbs, you don't have a qb lol

Lynch...he's already a bust...15 months into his career...it's kinda "visceral" to the 2 or 3 people here that don't think he's a bust...you wouldn't know because you have a hard time understanding almost everything.

Why am I always explaining shit to you?

Is this local media? Or just forum members? I've been to Denver twice this year and listen to Denver radio occasionally and I'm not hearing anything overly negative or unfair.

My AP sports feed said Trevor was pulling away with the job. Al and DMac reported the same.

TS is by far the favorite of local radio.

TS will be a career qb, whether starter or backup.

That can come in and win you a few games, unless he takes his mental game to the next level and starts checking out of plays like Manning. His arm strength will only get him so far.

Lynch may not even be in the league for long if he plays like this. But again, we have to see him in the next game with the ones.

Because it's the battle of mediocrity. No one is trying to take the spot by force. Trevor should be way ahead of Lynch but Lynch is hanging on by a thread. The gap isn't far and what is making fans mad is that it just seems like a battle of the backups.

We need something greater or at least one of these guys to step up their game.

If not, then we won't win the division.

GEM pretty much nailed it, it's his playstyle. He's too conservative. You want a QB with a tremendous belief in his ability to make a difference, and Trevor playstyle is to avoid anything negative. QBs with that knack for believing they can go hero mode and win the game often do. It's the Aaron Rodgers effect. That dude just has it in his ******* mind that he *will* find a way to win the game. You don't see it in Siemian. Instead, you see a guy who is playing to avoid interceptions at all costs when another QB would be willing to shoulder the responsibility, take the reins and will his team to win.

It's hard to root for a guy that doesn't seem to believe in himself.
