Let me get this out of the way, no matter the quarterback under center the Broncos are 4-0. Trevor Siemian exceeded expectations with how he can control the team’s offense and at times can win a game through the air. Paxton Lynch, on the other hand is the first round talent and most talented quarterback on the roster. Lynch will get his shot at the Atlanta Falcons for his first NFL start.

Lynch can elude defenders better in mobility and will sling it through the air when given the chance. On Sunday, he will throw for over 300 yards and rush for a score leading the Broncos to another victory. The defense of the Falcons can be easily exposed at linebacker and the secondary. Now that the Broncos’ tight end Virgil Green is expected to play Sunday, he will be a comfortable target for the young quarterback in his first start. Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders established a solid rapport early with Lynch in Tampa, which should translate on Sunday.

The Broncos coaching staff also showed trust in the rookie letting him unleash his arm on third and seven when Siemian left due to an unfortunate injury. Head coach Gary Kubiak did not shy away from molding the offense to meet Lynch’s skill set. Lynch worked from the shotgun mostly in the game last Sunday and do not look for that to change.
