This QB battle is about as exhausting as an 80-hour workweek. Gary Kubiak may be sweating inside closed doors at Dove Valley, but he is handling it like a pro. Trevor Siemian, Mark Sanchez and Paxton Lynch should be the rankings through a week and a half of camp. Siemian looks more poised in the huddle than Sanchez and has fewer turnovers than the veteran. It would be a terrific story, if Trevor Siemian would beat out a veteran in Mark Sanchez and the first-round pick Lynch for the starting gig.

Sanchez can be effective in the offense because of his short and intermediate throws. Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Bennie Fowler have all shown comfort ability to take short throws for big gains.   The only areas of concern for Sanchez are his turnovers and the errand throws to a receiver. Maybe Sanchez’s timing is off with the receivers for there to miss open looks, but that must get better for him to take the job.

The future is Paxton Lynch. Yet, Lynch may not be ready for game action; however the Broncos have to play the Chicago Bears for there to be significant movement either from Lynch, Sanchez or Siemian. Lynch is the most mobile of the quarterbacks and is an area the ex-Memphis Tiger must do more of win the job over the other two. To reiterate my previous points, Siemian and Lynch, in my opinion, will take the spot over Sanchez for starter.

As I posted on Twitter, you be the judge who the starting quarterback. It is all about what you have read. Remember to continue to vote

Next: Bennie Fowler
