The 2nd one wasn't but it was instead a safety blitz altering his throw. And I'm not boarding the "awesome" train either, but I can understand some Broncos fans feeling a bit salty since a lot of the narrative was "No seventh round QB has ever done this!!!!" conclusion jumping.
fwiw, I thought going into the season he was/is their best option. He has a lot of upside and he seems to not get worked up over things, even when he makes mistakes.
No you didn't. No one did.
between him, lynch, and sanchez? yes, I absolutely thought he was the best option because he was there last year and at least was familiar with the system. LOL @ Sanchez being an option.

When the other options were the Sanchize and a first round rookie, "no one" is a bit of an exaggeration. And I say this as someone who really liked the selection of Lynch.

Ruddo beat me to it, except Dak Prescott's on the Cowboys. However, if Seattle wanted to trade with Dallas instead, Lynch and Prescott likely would have had their teams swapped, the rumors were Broncos liked him too.

Okay Football Nostradomus, who's your pick to win the Super Bowl? My wife will be in Vegas this week and I'd like to place some bets.

Do you really think it is a stretch to say the best guy is the guy who was in the system last year vs. Mark Sanchez or Paxton Lynch? Come on, dude.

I guess I just underestimate Ruddo's overall knowledge of the league. I figured only Broncos fans knew who the dude even was.
I didn't know much about him other than he was with the Broncos last year. So, again, unless you think I'm a complete idiot, it isn't hard to see how anyone would think that a guy familiar with the system was better than a rookie or Mark Sanchez (lol).

I don't remember to be honest. I guess I was expecting very little and I was very impressed by how he looked throwing the ball. Sorry for the hyperbole. That screen pass to CJ Anderson was perfect execution in the very first game against an incredibly talented front 7.

His first throw of the game---screen pass to Thomas that he had to sidearm because of the defender in the passing lane---really caught my attention. He deceptively quick as well. He looked really good.

I'm cynical by nature so up until today I saw Siemian as basically "Kyle Orton who could throw an unbelievably tight spiral". But man, today got me to raise an eyebrow. He led long, clutch scoring drives at the right times in the game. Plus he made both WRs happy, or shut them up depending on your POV.
