Denver Broncos: Let Trevor Siemian Grow As A Quarterback
The Denver Broncos are 3-0 with Trevor Siemian at the helm. Despite his early struggles in games, it is time that we let him go through the growing pains and stop calling for Paxton Lynch to start.
Trevor Siemian has been quite the surprise so far for the Denver Broncos this season.
He is calm, cool, and collected; does not let the mistakes rattle him and has been impressing me week in and week out.
However, not all fans will agree with me. Especially with his first half performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Some of the negativity with Trevor Siemian included his ineffectiveness in the red zone early on and his two passes that should have been intercepted.
I even read some tweets while watching the game that ridiculed Trevor Siemian and that “Paxton Lynch’s time” might be coming soon.
First off, for the fans that are calling for Paxton Lynch to start, do you really believe having a rookie quarterback over one who has been in the system for a year is going to make a difference?
“[Paxton] Lynch isn’t coming off the bench flawless. He’s going to miss check downs, fumble, throw interceptions, be off target.”
That quote was from a good friend of mine whom I have talked with about this. And I could not agree more. Lynch would be making the same mistakes, perhaps even more mistakes than Siemian has made.
And I will say this as well. The Broncos are not going to be blowing teams away. It has been the modus operandi for the team for as long as I can remember. The only exception is the 2013 season when Manning had a record season.
As far as the almost interceptions and bad games, Gary Kubiak would not bench Trevor Siemian for those. Now, if the team was under .500, I would understand.
However, the Broncos are 3-0. And while Trevor Siemian’s numbers aren’t Star Wars numbers (63/94 756 yds 5TD’s 3INT’s), he is getting the job done.
And the Broncos players seem to be behind him. If your teammates believe in you, then I’d say you are doing alright in my books.
Let’s enjoy the wins, have Trevor Siemian learn through the success and the growing pains, and remember that we are the defending champions. For the position that we are in nearly a quarter of the way through the season, I have zero complaints and you all should not have any either.
