Kyle Sloter may not be ready for the big gig but he showed plenty when he had the opportunity.
That's the knock on Trevor Siemian. He played constantly looking to the sideline last season as if he needed approval and not reassurance.
Sure Siemian has a big-time arm. He's showed it, many, many times.
Sure Siemian is tough. After all he pulled himself together after a Buccaneer planted him face first in a Florida field.
Overcoming his injury and never once complaining earns Siemian high marks.
You know, kinda like the laconic, Stoic cowboy popular in Western lore.
Yeah, Denver's redone offensive line could hold their blocks a fraction of a second longer and Siemian could deliver the ball just a bit faster, like a passing thought.
Siemian is not that bad. It's just that Denver's offense needs a small bit of magic, someone who can make something happen when the odds are against the Broncos, you know, when it's first-and-98 and Denver has the ball on it's own 2-yard line.
Who do we have?
