Gary “Coach” Eklund (Absolutely Sports): Trevor Siemian holds onto the job for the season
Are you ready for the Paxton Lynch era? We sure are.
It’d be one thing if Lynch were sitting behind Peyton Manning, even Mark Sanchez, but with Trevor Siemian as the only thing holding Lynch from the starting job, it’s only a matter of time. Actually, according to us, it’s only a matter of four weeks.
The Broncos will face off against the Panthers, Colts, Bengals and Buccaneers in their first four games, and unless Siemian comes out of that stretch with a 3-1 record or better, there will be plenty of people calling Lynch’s name. We’ll see if Gary Kubiak and John Elway listen.
