Denver Broncos: Week 6 Position Grades

Quarterbacks Grade: D-

Trevor Siemian now replaced Paxton Lynch and re-inserted back in the starting quarterback saddle. Siemian was 4-0 as a starter coming to the San Diego Chargers’ His play last night was not indicative of the type of play Broncos fans were accustom to. Siemian was off all game missing throws and not using his progressions properly as a quarterback. With his play last night, everything is on the table at quarterback. Yesterday’s performance resonates with some fans, saying it is as terrible a start since Tim Tebow. There may be an agreement after that game. Siemian receives a D- grade.

A Hail Mary is a last shot to win the game that requires arm strength to get the ball t the end zone. Regardless of how injured it appeared Siemian is coming into the game yesterday, he has to make that throw count. If his throw were further, Broncos would be going for two points and a chance to tie. Siemian has played better than this in starts, but at that moment in the game we needed his very best.

Siemian could ill afford that type of game with Paxton Lynch on the bench. The Broncos needed spark from their offense and Siemian was a reason, but not the reason. Right now as we move on to the Houston Texans, everything should be on the table at the quarterback position. Again, the Broncos beat themselves last night. Before you point any sort of blame on the quarterback look at the offensive line first.
