Thread: Trade Siemian?

http://www.denverpost.com/2016/10/15...ian-tony-romo/

As Trevor Siemian launched a Hail Mary pass that fell 6 yards short of the end zone as time expired, the truth should have hit Broncos general manager John Elway like a two-by-four: Denver doesn’t have a prayer of winning the Super Bowl with Siemian as its starting quarterback.

But will the Broncos be ready to get on with the rest of Paxton Lynch’s life before the team gets over this crazy dream of repeating as NFL champion?

When coach Gary Kubiak walks returns to his office Monday, the most pressing piece of business in the in-box will be as big as an elephant. While Broncos Country argues the merits of Siemian vs. Lynch, this issue is so complicated Kubiak must chew on it one bite at a time.

Lynch has a big game and a big frame. We know what a football hero looks like around here. Lynch has all the physical gifts in the tool box.

Siemian is working with little more than a screwdriver and an Allen wrench. After completing only one of the nine passes he attempted at least 10 yards downfield against San Diego, either Siemian’s left shoulder is hurt worse than the Broncos want us to believe or the coaches have zero faith in him to throw deep. “He showed some toughness going out there, but we wouldn’t have put him out there if we didn’t think that he was healthy enough to play,” interim coach Joe DeCamillis said.

Really? The failed Hail Mary by Siemian traveled 47 yards in the air as time expired. Even at age 56, Elway could have come down out of the stands and thrown it farther in his street clothes.

I would be all for this.

No.

Well, it's not as bad as your other thread about getting Cutler so I'll give you that.

So if we merge your 2 threads, trade Siemian for Cutler?

No Way!

Siemian/Lynch isn't the problem. I know which one I'd rather see short-arming passes because his Swiss cheese line lets even BAD defenses pound the crap out of him while simultaneously failing to provide the run support that would slow those pass rushers down and avert the need to throw Hail Maries all game in the first place.

Romo.

What's wrong with just developing our young QBs and building that way? We don't have to bring in a beat up veteran to try to get us to the Super Bowl every single year.

Romo? Behind this OL? What'd he ever do to you?

His trade value is almost nothing.

And what team would make the trade?

Even if we wanted to, there is no way anyone would give us anything of any real value right now for Siemien.

7th round pick last year and then in his first year as a starter, the team that gave him a shot gives up on him 6 games into the season, exactly how well does that rate him to another team?

Btw, I don't think Denver has the cap space for either of them.

Peyton Manning really spoiled some people apparently. We go 6 games without a stud QB and people panic.

At least with the Cutler one, Cutler has played under Rick Dennison before. The Romo one is just puzzling. Veteran QB or not, he couldn't just slide in and play with no background in Kub's offense.
