Trevor Siemian may keep this job longer than we thought
Before the game yesterday, the Mile High Sports team released our predictions for the 2016 season, and the consensus was that Paxton Lynch would be starting by Week 5. Now, I’m not so sure.
We can nitpick Trevor Siemian’s performance all week. Yes, he threw two interceptions. No, he didn’t push the ball down the field. Yes, he missed Emmanuel Sanders on a would-be touchdown. No, he didn’t shock the world with a 300-yard performance.
Who cares.
Here’s what we need to remember about Trevor Siemian: He’s essentially a seventh-round rookie that just went out and beat the Carolina Panthers on national television! Soak it in.
Siemian isn’t Kurt Warner and he certainly isn’t Tom Brady, but could he be the 2015-version of Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler? In this offense, maybe.
The kid showed some stones on Thursday night, and if he can keep the offense moving up and down the field like they did against the Panthers (a top-five defense), he may be able to keep Paxton Lynch at a distance for longer than we thought.
