Just remember:

    Ramming this noodle-armed 7th round nobody down Elways throat when he wanted the 1st round QBotF to start is why Kubiak got "forced out."
    He was forced out because he wouldn't make the difficult decisions his job required.

    And who would you play at QB now that you have that nice cozy pocket (assuming LG and RT could still pass block -- presumably Bolles to RT).

    Yes, but we also aren't the eagles, who are destined to have that sort of thing happen to them because God hates them due to them rampantly touching themselves at night.

    That's why they have never and will never gotten a Superbowl win and we've got three and counting.

    I can't predict the future, he could faceplant some day soon, until he does, enjoy it.

    That would be a chump move. No friggin' way. QB's are too hard to find, and TS shows real signs of being legit. I love esp. that he is a 7th Round guy who keeps beating the odds and won the job twice when the organization wanted someone else to win it. That kind of brains and heart Trumps athleticism every single time

    2 weeks ago half the fans hated TS, now he's Andrew Luck.

    Btw, "That kind of brains and heart" ... barf. Why does everything have to turn into a Disney movie?

    Half the fans had momentary idiotitis, but they are on the way to healing.

    I've loved Siemian since week 1 of 2016. Andrew Luck is Andrew Luck. Siemian is Siemian. Siemian plays a different game, and one I frankly prefer to Luck's reliance on raw athletic talent

    Some of us have been very consistent in or stance on TS.

    Not about any Disney Movie bullshit, its a reaction against the draft geeks, dim-bulbs, and other assorted imbeciles who rate guys based on their draft position, 40 time, verticle jump, bench press, 3 cone drills, and other crap not related to playing/winning games of tackle football.

    Saying not many guys would throw into quadruple (maybe quintuple) coverage on this throw.


    I backed that play up and watched it at least 4 times yesterday. Called my wife over to watch it and explain everything going on so she could understand what a great play that was all over the field.

    That play and throw by Siemian was just top-notch. If we get a little bit of that every game, we won't be taking too big a step down from Manning.

    I'm not comparing Siemian to Manning. He's still got a hell of a long road to even get in that conversation. But if he can make a few plays like in-the-prime Manning (and make no mistake, that was a prime Manning read and throw) here and there. .. . with this defense. . . with this running game. . ..

    Glenn, maybe, but I'm not giving up a very promising QB at the dawn of his career for even an All Pro LT at the END of his. Evan Mathis was an All Pro too, but at 34 he was waiting by the phone two weeks before Opening Day until we called, and eventually lost even THAT job to Max freakin' Garcia. Thomas turns 34 Christmas 2018.

    It's not even about position value (else I'd be right there with you) just longevity: If I'm going to go get a stud vet LT it's so he can help me develop some hotshot rookie into a stud vet QB—that's not an option if he RETIRES before we even DRAFT the kid!
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    I dunno, keeping the raw 1st rounder on the bench in favor of the 7th rounder who can actually play seems like a pretty easy decision to me; did then, too.

    Choosing between starting Okung or Stephenson and Schofield or Samfrailo wasn't a "difficult decision" either: It was Scylla and Charybdis, and choosing to run the K-Gun offense behind that garbage with effectively a rookie QB would've been rank lunacy.
