    So really this is more about him being a 7th round pick, and the lack of a flashy back ground or a crap ton of hype.

    Brock was a high round draft pick, Paxton, both of these guys are just into their careers and are being called busts, because they havent developed at the rate the masses thing is appropriate now.

    Im saying, had the thought process been the same 30 years ago, would those stats not be enough for people to call them busts and teams might have missed out on superbowl winning players?

    We dont know what we have after 1 year with a broken offense, much less 2nd year with a new coach, damn.
    I disagree with all of this - but you made a mighty fine post. Thank you for that, and post more. I remember you.

He's our starter, and was our starter, out of a weird set of events. And he wowed the team so much that we made a run at Kaepernick last year and tried to do everything in our power to give Paxton Lynch the job this year.
    They took a run at Kaepernick before Siemian even participated in the offseason programs prior to that year. The previous season, he clearly did "wow" the team, because Kubiak addressed the surprise of keeping him behind Manning and Osweiler, being that he just made plays every time they gave him a shot, and referred to his arm strength.

    There was no chance that a team was going to bet their season on a kid that "wowed" them in preseason and did a good job running the scout team, but otherwise had no game action all year.
