Paxton Lynch to start Sunday against Jaguars

[PutQuinnIn]

Based on reports from Mike Klis, Paxton Lynch will be starting at quarterback for the Broncos this weekend, and the rookie says he will be more ready this time.

“I feel confident, more confident than when the season started,” Lynch said Wednesday, adding that scout team reps against the Denver defense has provided a huge step in his learning curve.

“Those reps that you get, you can’t compare them to any other reps because you’re getting them against the best defense in the league,” he said. “When I get those reps, I take them serious and try to make the throws every time.”

After Semen's biggest day, lol.

“Those reps that you get, you can’t compare them to any other reps because you’re getting them against the best defense in the league,”

This is a common cliché, but its gotta be bullshlt, right?

The 2003 Chiefs defense didn't get any better by practicing against the best offense in the league. The 90s Chiefs offenses didn't get any better by practicing against DT/Neil Smith.

I think Elway is pretty good at evaluating a QB's worth... first with osweiler, he was responsible for Sieman, and Sieman has performed. Very interesting.

[Direckshun]

Well... I now officially downgrade Denver's chances of making the playoffs.

Why the hell would you bench Seimien? He wasn't why the Donks lost.

He's hurt.

[Halfcan]

I hope jags punish him all day on the way to a big win.

[RealSNR]

If they had started Lynch instead of Semen, would Lynch have gotten gotten PTSD from all the Houston sacks?

[Mile High Mania]

Yeah, I think a few of you believe this is a benching.. Trevor has been in a walking boot with an injured foot. Likely injured it while running for his life from Houston.

[Nickhead]

im six thousand miles away and even i knew he was hurt in the overtime game. :D

He lucked out with Assweiler. If the Texan's don't offer him that contract Denver is "stuck" with him.


I think Brock would have been decent in Denver, though.

It's almost like OP left out that important tidbit about the injury on purpose... and I can't be bothered with actually reading the article.

[Mile High Mania]

In the only 6 quarters of live action he has had this year, he hasn't been terrible considering he is a rookie.

14 of 24 for 170 and 1 TD vs Tampa
23 of 35 for 223 and 1 TD and 1 INT vs Atlanta

On that INT, it was from within the endzone, threw it deep. Now, had he been a bit more experienced and read his field better, he would have seen an open 82 floating out aobut 15 yards with an easy 1st down.

@ Jacksonville is a good matchup for Lynch this week, he threw pretty well and connected with Thomas and Sanders often. They had roughly 29 total targets in those 6 quarters, my guess is those 2 really like him because he's more apt to pass.

There is no mention of an injury-per Mile High Report or I would have included it.

You should click your link. Maybe read it too.

[Otter]

I think I'd let Siemian finish out the season and start Lynch next season at this point. A little too late to be stirring the pot and leaving the girl who you brought to the dance with you at this point.

[jspchief]

From the link:

As Trevor Siemian is sidelined with a foot injury, the rookie backup says he will be more prepared this time.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Fun fact, Gaines accounted for 14 targets resulting in 208 yards and 2TDs against Denver

Sometimes I just have to laugh.

[Easy 6]

Sadly, this wont be enough to cause a dinver loss... Jax is just a huge mess

[carcosa]

C'mon Jaggies!

[OldSchool]

Fun fact, Gaines accounted for 14 targets resulting in 208 yards and 2TDs against Denver

Yup, he looked like he did during the Pre-Season of his rookie year.

Fun Fact, You're annoying as fuck.

Everybody knows Gaines sucked shit.

[Deberg_1990]

I wonder if Jerry Jones still prefers Lynch over Dak?

[ModSocks]

Yup, he looked like he did during the Pre-Season of his rookie year.

Wow....Are you really logging into your dupe account and quoting yourself???

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

That is some pathetic loser shit right there.

That's some all time CP low kinda stuff.

That is so fucking pathetic ROFL

[BlackHelicopters]

Heh

[Spott]

They'll still beat Jacksonville by 2 scores.

Excellent point !!!! Nailed It !!!

[Chiefshrink]

Jax is a mess I agree BUT don't discount how much of a psychological downer this was for the Broncos losing at home in a game they should have won and now they are on the road playing a team they will take lightly I'm sure thus not really motivated and then starting PL against a decent defense that has Malik Jackson who will want to play well and they have a decent 2ndary as well.

It will not be a cake walk IMHO.

Precisely. Siemien is going to wish he had not gotten hurt. Elway and Kubes know they are not going anywhere with that horrid o-line so lets get PL ready for next year.:shrug:

[BlackOp]

If Elway was starting Lynch....because he knew this team wasn't winning anything this year with that OL and running game...I'd be impressed. It would signal that they are in play for Romo...and want to see where Paxton is.

Writing is on the wall with Denver...if San Diego didn't lose so many starters, Broncos would be in last place.

[BossChief]

It will be interesting to see how Jacksonville plays Lynch. They have a good young defense with lots of stud potential guys on both sides of the ball.

It's also going to be Malik Jacksons chance to stick it to Elway for letting him walk...he might be in full on beast mode.

[Simply Red]

Lynch is not too bad, I'm a little concerned he may develop into something special. Semen seems to have already spermed all over the sheets.

[Rain Man]

I was wondering if Monkeyboy had gotten hurt or just benched. They're reporting a foot problem. He seemed to be healthy at the end of the game last week. Did Aqib Talib shoot his foot or something?

[PunkinDrublic]

He'll get good protection with the refs allowing Denvers O-Line to hold. Funny how Stephenson got flagged for holding all the time with the Chiefs now that he's a donk it gets overlooked.

[Camaro]

Lynch > semen..

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I recall a 1/3 of this place all over Lynch's nuts going into the draft. And now we laugh at him.

Who did it better? CP or Dorsey???

That's only for him.

[Chief Pagan]

This is a common cliché, but its true, right?

The 2003 Chiefs defense didn't get any better by practicing against the best offense in the league.

If that 2003 Chiefs offense could have practiced against a real defense they could have averaged more than a measly 30.3 points per game!

[Tombstone RJ]

Pretty much. But what's he supposed to say? "I think I'm ready because, yah know, I practiced with the starters and all that jazz. So, like, yah. I'm ready."

[MahiMike]

11 punts and they still beat the jags.

[Direckshun]

Jags have an okay defense.

Can somebody review how Lynch played? I didn't catch the game.

[O.city]

Something like 12 of 24 for 110 yards? It didn't sound good but I didn't watch much of it.

Bortles was his terrible ass self. I'm ashamed that I thought he was decent at one point. Big regression

[Mile High Mania]

It was a 'they won' type of games, he's not ready for prime time.

[Direckshun]

How much fire is there to the "Romo to Denver" smoke, MHM?

[ThaVirus]

The Broncos were really bad on 3rd downs yesterday. Dude is not ready.

[Mile High Mania]

How much fire is there to the "Romo to Denver" smoke, MHM?

Ha... guess it depends. I'm sure there's the casual fan that says "Hell yeah, let's do it".

Not realizing that he's 36 now, 37 after April 2017. Sure, Manning was 36 when he signed with Denver... and he was coming off a major neck injury, but again, Romo is not Manning.

This is his 4th straight year of missing at least 1 game due to injury. So, 37 years old going into next season with a fairly substantial back issue and 3 broken collarbones in 5 years.

http://www.espn.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4753377/a-look-at-tony-romos-injury-history

2010 -- Broken left collarbone.
2013 -- Ruptured disk.
2014 -- Two transverse process fractures.
2015 -- Broken left collarbone.
2015 -- Broken left collarbone. (yes, a 3rd time)
2016 -- Compression fracture, L1 vertebra.

But, let's look at the money. 3 years left on a big $ contract and not worth it... they rolled those dice with Manning and it worked out. Romo is no Manning.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/tony-romo-2447/

So, the fire you asked about... teams can't talk right now. Romo can't talk. Fans and media can talk and talk they shall.

But, I just absolutely do not see Elway making a trade for that player and that money with that history. Dallas will have to cut him and I just don't see them eating the $ to do that, considering they'll have to find a #2 guy and the ultimate savings won't be worth it.

Anything can happen, but Elway isn't going to make that trade for Romo.

The rumors will fly as long as Trevor and Lynch trip around the field, but Romo won't be holding a press conference in Denver.

[MeatRock]

I don't understand why Simien sat in favor of Lynch. Is he hurt?

[Mile High Mania]

I don't understand why Simien sat in favor of Lynch. Is he hurt?

I'm not sure how so many missed it... Siemian was in a walking boot all week, he missed practices. So, they benched him for the road game to recover.

And, back to the Romo thing. Why trade for a Romo and pay $23M if you can just pay out the nose for a much younger Kirk Cousins and work to be the top bidder in FA.

Tell me the kid wouldn't be interested...

[Easy 6]

They're down on the kid BAD over at the Mane, and rightfully so... 50% completions for 104 yards LMAO

[jjchieffan]

I really hope that last game was as good as it gets for Lynch, and hopefully Semen is just a flash in the pan. The Donks don't deserve to have another franchise QB. They deserve to be the Cleveland Browns.

Won't happen... but, they did get another win with another drafted QB. That's a positive... some need more work than others, so they have a bit to do with him.

[Deberg_1990]

Does Elway not see much upside in Simien?

I fee like he's played pretty good overall.

I dont think Simien is far enough behind Cousins to make that move, especially considering the price difference.

[jjchieffan]

Am I missing something? Why would Cousins not be in Washington next year? They have a top 10 passing game. And who would take his place? No way they let him walk.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I think Romo would make Denver scary good. I understand the injury risk, but he would make that offense so much better.

[Simply Red]

Dunno. Weird question to ask.

why is that weird to you?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Props for willing the Chiefs to victory Sunday!
