Will the Broncos try to sign Sloter to the PS? I mean, we're already betting the Vikes suck at evaluating QBs...

I wish the best for Trevor, class act. Wish it would have worked out different for him here but the facts are the OL and running game have been putrid and he simply isn't good enough to overcome those team shortcomings. I wonder if Keenum is honestly but hopefully Elway and company finally fix the RT and OL issues.

Trevor Siemian is a good guy...and I'm about to be a dick...

You know...the running game was 12th last year, and Football Outsiders ranked the line as the 9th-best rushing line in the league. In no friggin' way was the running game putrid last year.

He was supposed to be a career back-up, like Kubiak was during the 1st 10 years of Elway's career, but was pushed into the starting job with little warning. Now he's going to the Vikings who are going to ask him to be what he was supposed to be in the 1st place, a career back-up. I wish him all the best.

He has better skin tone.

Some could say it was even with Talib deal too, but I'm always of the belief of not packing in shit. Like the Tebow to Jets deal.

Pass protection, especially from left guard and right tackle left a lot to be desired, specially on obvious pass downs.

Football outsiders ranks them 29th in pass blocking, in an effective tie with Indy and Houston at 30 and 31.

I was thinking this. The Vikings were obviously not happy with the concept of Kyle Sloter being their backup. The question now is whether he makes the team as the #3 QB. "But, Sloter is going to be a starter for the Vikings!"

Basically this. The word coming out of the draft was that Denver was smart to pick up another cheap training camp arm in the 7th round. Normal career for a 7th round QB is practice squad, until their eligibility expires, and then goodbye! They're out of the league and nobody remembers they were ever there.

Trevor exceeded these meager expectations, and through Elway's personnel failures he was given the starting job. He couldn't stay healthy, couldn't overcome the feeble offense he was given, but nobody sensible ever thought he could elevate the play of the players around him like a Peyton Manning.

That is not his fault. Kudos to a guy who maximized his potential. Good luck Trevor!

Trev looks to be a guy like McCown. Journeyman bridge starter, nothing more. NOTHING wrong with that, great job in that! He can have a long career doing that and make some good money.

You don't have to make the hall of fame to be a NFL success.

I don't get the hate for Trevor. He was frustrating to watch, mostly (he had good moments), but the BRONCO coaches are the ones that put him in the position. It says a lot that he beat out Lynch. I wish him the best as well.

Well he absolutely sucked and played us out of the playoffs his first year. Then he sucked even more and could never do well unless everything was perfect around him. I don't know, why else would you hate a god awful player who is consequential?

Did you read what FIAZ wrote? He's a back up QB. Did you expect him to be John Elway? It's your fault to have such high expectations to play beyond his means.
