Denver Broncos preseason quarterback review, week two

As was the case with the rest of the Broncos’ quarterbacks, it wasn’t a perfect night for Lynch, but it was a fun one.

Lynch came into the game and started slow, but really started to pick things up and get the offense moving down the field. There are a few throws in this game that really stood out to me, and you can look at them all here:

Lynch is showing some serious poise, and while he’s not perfect in the pocket and coming from under center, he’s capable of making these kinds of plays:

His athletic ability and ability to drive the ball down the field are second to none on this Broncos roster, and second to no quarterback I can remember being on this team since Jay Cutler coming out of Vanderbilt.

The talent is off the charts, but Gary Kubiak said after the game that at this point, it’s not about talent.

“I’m going to play the guy that I think is best for our team. We have three guys out there battling. Obviously [Lynch] is a young kid. He did some really good stuff tonight. He made some mistakes, too. I think I’ve continued to tell you guys that he is behind the others from a knowledge standpoint as far as running the group. Obviously we need to keep coming, keep bringing him along. We’re going to keep working here, find the guy that we think is best for our football team and go from there.

“He’s always been in the mix. I just told you guys that he’s behind the other two from a knowledge standpoint, but we’ve been out there competing every day. Everybody is in competition to play.”

That’s good to know because as of right now, Broncos fans want Lynch. It could be his turn to get a start in the Broncos’ preseason game next week against the Los Angeles Rams. Typically in the third preseason game, the starters play the most extensive snaps, and Lynch could be in line for plenty of work over the next two weeks.

He doesn’t have a ton of time to get his knowledge of the playbook to where Gary Kubiak might want it, but the Broncos may have to simplify things and have Lynch learn as he goes.
