Fraction of the cost and at this point, I have no complaints. I'm fine being 5-2 with a conservative passing game, if the alternative is bigger pass plays with more mistakes and possibly not being 5-2. I have no delusions that Trevor is the QBotF... it may or may not be Lynch, either. Time will tell.
I've never been a fan of the caretaker QB, but with this defense and the way they can play on offense with a solid ground attack, they have the receivers to make it count when they do attack. Trevor had some nice plays this past week, DT had a bad drop. The offense (esp the OL) is having way too many penalties at this point with holds and false starts, they killed two drives last week that would have gone for first downs early.
The OL has been a mess, both lines have had issues. And, if that's the worst of it, they can survive and do well. Win the division? Maybe... advance to the playoffs? I certainly believe that.
Denver could have written off this season as a pure 'reload' season, but they haven't and that's what I really like. They'll continue to draft a QB, depending on who is available and that's smart. And, if someone comes along in FA that makes more sense, I'm sure they'll give it a look.
But, I won't complain about Siemian at this point... he's done his job pretty well.
