As big of a trainwreck as this season has been, if the stupid Broncos had just stuck with Siemian over Osweiler or Lynch they'd be right in the middle of the AFC West race right now. They certainly would have beaten the Raiders yesterday if Siemian had started.
What we knew all along has turned out to be true: Siemian is the best of a bad bunch of quarterbacks.
They need to fire Vance Joseph and Elway needs to find someone better than himself at drafting offensive players. His defensive drafting has been more or less outstanding but the only picks on offense that have really worked out were Matt Paradis and Garrett Bolles.
There's no reason, on paper, that this team should be worse than the 9-7 team they fielded last year. The offensive line got better, the running backs got better (and healthier), the defensive line got better, the secondary is just as good, the linebackers are the same, the wide receivers are the same, the tight ends (while garbage) are the same.
And yet they're on the longest losing streak this city has seen in 50 years.
Elway hired the wrong coach, plain and simple. Hopefully he's smart enough to cut ties right away.
