His release is much quicker than Brock's(Brock had this weird looping thing on the back) and he seems to be making decisions quicker as well. Brock's arm was stronger however.I'd like to see Trevor launch a couple - even if incomplete to loosen the box up. It looks like the Broncos made a better choice.
I think is latest take is Lynch takes over in October, which is very possible. If the FG was good I think suddenly 178yd/1td/2int would look worse to a whole lot of folks.
Hats the obvious thought, but what if it's wrong? What if you are basing your assumption on draft-round only?
True, but let's remember that they could have won by more if not for their rookie RB fumbling in FG range and the Panthers defense making a fantastic play on Simian's first INT, again, when they were in FG range. All things considered, playing in prime time against one of the top defenses in the league in his first NFL start, I'd say he well. That TD throw to Anderson was nice, the way he looped the throw around the oncoming pass rusher. The second INT was bad, but that will happen with a young QB.
If Wentz has a game like that, given what PHI gave up, I would not be thrilled and that's considering he has been sitting with a broken rib for the past month. If Wentz was a year into his career and had a game like that I would be even less thrilled.
I would say look at that poor man's Alex Smith. He'll make a great backup in this league.
Really? That's surprising. I'd love to see a young QB for my team play that well in his first game against an awesome defense.
Also he acts like Siemian is a 2nd year player but in reality he was buried behind Osweiler.
last night:
Yea - bet that was tough to write - a bit of a back hand compliment "Did what was needed vs Cover 2 concepts" after he spent the previous week saying that Lynch should be the starter.
After 4 years of waiting, I'm thinking he's not going to own up to whiffing on Hillman v. Moreno.
sometimes you are just wrong on almost everything....yet still have a podcast and radio show to perpetuate
Makes sense to pay him if you own Draft Kings or other DFS services where good advice is bad business.
he looks average, but if you grade on a curve (i.e. 3 career starts and someone who hasn't taken a majority of first string snaps until late in the pre-season), he's doing just fine. All of the mistakes he has made are correctable. He isn't throwing into coverage, he isn't forcing bad throws (ok, maybe a couple vs Cincy). He is going through progressions and when he sees something isn't there, he tucks and runs.Shutout said:
Going with Moreno over Ball and Hillman in 2013 probably made me more money than any move in my FF career. ... Now back to Trevor Siemian.
Loving this kid. Great stuff.moleculo said:
James Stewart once ran for 5 TDs in a game. It's not the situational stats I am looking at, it's the ability or lack there of to be able to do all the things. To me he is managing instead of being on the leading edge and winning. That's not a bad thing. That's better than a lot of other guys we see in the league but the question is really long term and what really counts. Can he beat the steelers and pats and Seahawks and Vikings and the sort because at the end of the day a 11-5 record against average teams doesn't get it done in Denver.need2know said:
Um, he was down early at Cinci 7 - 0. Then he was down 14-10 in the 2nd (your exact scenario), and down for a third time in the 2nd half. Not too bad on the road.
Down by 7 and 4 while in the flow of the game is not what I asked. I said down by 14 and more importantly I am referring to the scenario where a game starts off funny and quickly he is down by 14 or in the 4th he is down by 14. I'm talking about real football scenarios and if he has what it takes to be the man. I don't think he does. I'm not trashing him but I think he is more Alex smith than the next big discovery. I think it's fools gold and false hope to think he is very good. He has done nothing that I can't say I saw Kirk cousins or mark Sanchez do for 2-3 games at a time.
I know it's not quite the same as coming back from 14 in the 4th, but Siemians very first career start (a mere 3 weeks ago - I'm sure you watched), he brougth his team back from down by 10 entering the 4th quarter to win by one. In 3 career games, he has 2 4QC and 2 GWD...against the defending NFC champs.
