Denver Broncos: Quarterback conundrum
Who’s going to start behind center in Denver? As you’re likely aware, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch are locking horns over this battle over the summer.
Will it matter who starts? That’s probably the more salient question to dig into.
Siemian isn’t special. He’s a solid option and has reportedly been described by one anonymous player as a better leader than Lynch. Speaking of Lynch, he’s by far the superior athlete. As such, he has a much stronger deep ball and overall arm strength in general.
We saw what happened when both players took the field last year. They were unable to consistently generate enough offense to keep the Broncos from making the playoffs in the suddenly ultra competitive AFC West.
If Siemian ends up starting, then the offense should be generally pretty boring. If Lynch starts, we’ll get to see more big plays, but likely we’ll also see more mistakes. All things considered, it probably doesn’t matter who ends up starting. But the battle this summer should be fun to watch.
