    Default The Ringer: Touchdown Trevor is your God now

    The NFL has a quarterback problem, and that problem is that 31 teams have quarterbacks who are not Trevor Siemian.

    Trevor Siemian—Touchdown Trevor, T-Money, the Treviathan, Slim Siemian, the Trevor-Ending Story, Forever Trevor—threw four touchdowns Sunday in a 42-17 win over the Cowboys, putting him solely atop the NFL’s leaderboard with six on the season. This is true. I didn’t make this up. At time of publication, no quarterback has thrown more touchdowns in the 2017 NFL season than Trevor Siemian, and no quarterback is tied with Trevor Siemian. He has a rushing touchdown, too, and perhaps most importantly, his Broncos are 2-0.
    But every step of Siemian’s professional career thus far has been an improbability. He was a bad quarterback on a bad college team; those often don’t get drafted. He was a seventh-round draft pick quarterback; those often don’t make their first team out of training camp. He was a third-string backup as a rookie; those players often don’t ever become a team’s starting quarterback in their second seasons. He was a player in whom his team had invested nothing; those players don’t often beat out recent first-round draft picks for starting jobs.

    But now Siemian is doing the most improbable thing of all. He’s not the replacement-level player the Broncos had hoped for. In a league starved for quarterback play that isn’t actively harmful, Siemian is actually good

    Elway should just trade all his 1st-3rd round picks for tons of 4th-7th rounders "from now on." I mean, OK, we got Wolfe and Roby, but that's not much to show for seven seasons worth of 1st and 2nd round picks, especially by comparison to the horde of steady starters and roleplayers he keeps finding in later rounds. 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."
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    Don't want to create another Trevor thread, but Baldinger is getting on the train.

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

    I'm not sure that was a compliment.

    In reality, it was only triple coverage... I would be curious to hear what Baldy said vs. just his tweet. Whether he liked it or not.

    It kind of looks like a bad decision by 13. I think Fowler was wide open on that play.

    It worked, so can't be to harsh about it though.

    Will have to wait for all 22 to be up on Gamepass, but I don't think Fowler was as open as you think, where with Sanders he threw into an open part of the endzone and threw Sanders to an undefended area. Granted, if he had made a low or short throw, it could have been trouble, but that would have been a bad throw and he made a good throw to where only Sanders could catch it.

    Look, I like TS as much as anyone and I was 100% joking ... but ... bullshit.

    If you're making a projection that's fine, I've often said I hope Denver has 4 franchise QB's, but obviously it is far from obvious that TS is untouchable.

    We have Trevor Siemian, his story hasn't been written yet.

    If Browns offered Joe Thomas or Buffalo offered Cordy Glenn in any reasonable deal including TS (or Lynch, for that matter) I jump on it.

    I get that, but I'm super excited, and it made me think how optimistic the eagles fans would have been that day he threw 7 tds.... Only to have him turn out to be very average
