    Default Paxton Lynch lands in CFL, hopes to get back to NFL

    Five years ago, quarterback Paxton Lynch entered the NFL as a first-round pick of the defending Super Bowl champions in Denver. Now, he’s gone north of the border, up Saskatechewan way.

    Lynch made his debut on Monday in the CFL, at Roughriders training camp.

    “It’s been difficult,” Lynch said of the transition to the Canadian game, via John Hodge of 3downnation.com. “A lot of the pre-snap stuff has been a big adjustment for me. When you break it all down and get down to the core of it, it’s really football — it’s the same, just different terminology and things like that concept-wise.”

    It also entails a greater sense of urgency on every drive, because the CFL gives teams three chances to cover 10 yards, not four. Lynch, happy where he is, nevertheless wants to get back to the NFL.

    Good for him. He definitely lazied his way out of the NFL, but maybe the reality of not having that paycheck was the kick in the pants he needed. Not everyone is willing to go to Canada to get back to the NFL.

    I will always resent Lynch for taking a roster spot from Aqib Talib's #1 choice for Broncos QB:

    Kyle Sloter.

    He has/had so much god given ability

    Odds are against him to ever play meaningful NFL snaps again, but the chance does exist

    Best of luck to him, just to bad we wasted a pick on him when we did.

    I’ll never understand drafting a QB with work ethic concerns.

    I hated the pick at the time and still do.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Flacco's son vs Paxton for the 3rd string job. Has to be the most apathetic competition in QB history.

    Worst 1st round pick in Broncos history. NFL history. History of the universe.

    Made even worse by the fact that Dallas was trying to jump us for him and our backup option would have been Dak. That haunts my dreams.

    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    With PL, you could at least view his talent and see how it could pan out, if he wasn't lazy-as-shit

    TS never could give any team a chance to do anything in the NFL
