Trevor Siemian Gets The Start (by Spilly)
Week 2 of Guest comics brings us Trevor Siemian by Spilly, frequent Draw Play menace. Well start with his words
So Trevor Siemian is the new quarterback for the Denver Broncos, which pretty much no one expected except for Sam and any other Northwestern fan in the world. As this site’s Broncos fan corespondent – I think the fanbase is pretty on board with it. No one wanted Mark Sanchez – though we all assumed there would be a year of him while Paxton Lynch was being groomed to take over. Rumors are going around now that they’re accelerating Paxton’s development – so maybe using Siemian is a cash move (though so far, Sanchez remains on the team), or maybe they’d rather have two young possible starters to compete for next year. Whichever way it works, it’s pretty much gravy for fans, who really aren’t going to complain a lot a year after winning the Super Bowl.Oh and yeah his last name is either ejaculate or the 9 millionth Harambe joke on the Internet.Lastly, big shout out to Dave, who is getting married last week. You and I have been pals now for about three years now, and I’m happy you’re taking this awesome next step. You’re a good and cool dude, which is totally true and definitely not irony Twitter speak.-Spilly
If you’ve been listening to the podcasts you know this news makes Sam extremely happy as Trevor is a Northwestern grad. In fact, even though I’m writing these words on August 31st, I’m sure Sam has wasted valuable airtime on this week’s podcast talking about it some more now that I’m not there to reign him in.
I really don’t know what to say because I am seriously writing this so early and I’m afraid by the time it goes live Mark Sanchez will be a Viking because they needed a replacement after Teddy died. If that happens, just remember, Dave called that shit. If it doesn’t happen, well, Draft Experts are always wrong too.
The Broncos really are kind of screwed. As much crap as we gave Peyton last year (Much of it deserved), the one thing you can’t deny was that he still had his own brain. His body may have been a soft overcooked chicken parm but he still had that tactical brain of his that knew how to run an offense. Siemian, Sanchez, and Paxton may be physically more capable, but none of them have that brain. So while at first glance it seems like the Broncos will be fine because they kept the defense intact and didn’t need a QB last year anyway, they kinda did and Peyton won’t be as easy to replace as we first thought. I expect at least.
The AFC West will be an interesting division to watch. The Chiefs and Broncos are both playoff caliber teams. The Raiders seem to be on the upswing and many people argue they could also compete for the playoffs. The Chargers feel like a disaster but Rivers, Gates and Co. are good enough to make things interesting at minimum, if they can stay healthier than previous years, especially at O-Line.
ALSO. IMPORTANT NEWS. TOMORROW WILL HAVE THE BEGINNING OF A 3 COMIC SAGA BY A SPECIAL GUEST, PLEASE COME BACK TO SEE IT BEGIN.
dicks out for trevor sieman
Dicks out for Harambe
Dak’s out for Harombo.
Sanchez is already a Cowboy and the Vikings traded for Bradford….
Like days ago…
Trevor Semen, nice ring
Poor Dave, has to be on vacation when the Vikes trade a first round pick for Sam Bradford…
Dave must’ve posted this literally as the Vikings traded for Bradford.
So the butt fumble has been replaced by a monkey.
Still better than 11-34 with 3 picks vs. Temple (Paxton Lynch)
Would you rather have a quarterback who is mentally capable but physically incapable, or a quarterback who is mentally incapable but physically capable? That is the fascinating conversation brought up by the 2015-16 Broncos. It’s not very useful to know what you need to do but not be able to do it, but it’s also not that useful to be able to do something and not know when to do it.
So no one is going to mention the fact that, by the time this posted, Dave was right that Sanchez was off the Broncos, but he was wrong about which team?
If he’s willing to hold a clipboard as a third string mentor for an unpolished rookie sensation for $2M in Dallas, why wasn’t he willing to do it for $4.5M in Denver? Or did the Broncos not want to pay the $4.5M plus the opportunity cost of the 6th rounder they would have given the Eagles if they’d kept him?
Denver cut him, because they didn’t want to pay 4.5M + 6th round pick for a 3rd string bad QB.
Trevor, is your dick out for Harambe?
As a Broncos fan, I’m really excited for Trevor, but he faces down a lose-lose situation.
If he plays well, he’ll be dealing with a ton of simian/ape puns. If he plays poorly, the inherently pessimistic fanbase will crucify him.
Regardless, kickoff in 2 days! Thank god football is back.
Harambe and the Siemian, rated PG-13. Coming to theaters never
“I really don’t know what to say because I am seriously writing this so early and I’m afraid by the time it goes live Mark Sanchez will be a Viking because they needed a replacement after Teddy died”
That explains why there was no mention of Sanchez going to Dallas..
