But his penchant for turnovers has made this a competition. The other two don’t and won’t cut it. “There’s sometimes that the play that’s called isn’t going to get it”.

The Broncos will play the Carolina Panthers in the opener. “I am proud of all three of them”. Rookie Paxton Lynch, who closed out the game, was 15-of-26 passing for 113 yards with two touchdowns and an interception against a host of 49ers reserves. And that is despite being in an unwinnable situation. Let’s be realistic-he is not ready to be a starter. “He needs to sit a year”. “But those guys have been playing well too in front of me”. Yet he’s still been the best quarterback on the field for the Broncos. To “rise all boats” as we heard with Peyton Manning? He believes that the best option for Lynch and the Broncos would be to give Lynch additional time to learn and develop.
Fans are always the first to react. It would be nice to see the young players perform. Poor, poor quarterback play. That will only mount the longer this is delayed. They are what Elway and Kubiak should have known they are.
Sanchez and 2015 seventh-round pick Trevor Siemian entered the preseason as Denver’s co-starting quarterbacks. You go out and run plays. He won’t get much better.
Mark Sanchez is still a California kid. Unlike Siemian, Sanchez at least threw the ball more than 11 yards down the field.
Neither one of those quarterbacks will change. They have a defense that is arguably the greatest defense that this league has ever seen. It’s not very good either.
He threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to John Phillips late in the third quarter and another covering 4 yards to Durron Neal in the waning minutes.
No longer will players be listed as “probable”, a response to the league indicating that almost 95 percent of players listed as “probable” in recent years were found to have played in the ensuing game, ESPN reported. “I knew this was going to take some time”.
“We made too many mistakes, obviously”.
Because of all of this, the Broncos simply don’t need much from him.
McDonald has made the most of his opportunities so far this preseason. He hurt his shoulder while attempting to bring down San Francisco’s Eric Reid before he crossed the goal line with a 42-yard interception return on the first play of the second quarter. Wide receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are back and healthy. “It’s just a decision with the ball, and putting yourself through it over and over again”.
Rams 21, Chiefs 20: Todd Gurley rushed for a touchdown in his preseason debut, and Los Angeles defeated Kansas City.
We do know this is hardly ideal.
The idea is good in thought.
The biggest knock on Gabbert after he replaced an injured Kaepernick as the 49ers’ starting quarterback last season was his inability to keep drives alive on third down. You stumble. You’re caught off guard, but you gather your feet as quickly as you can before the damage gets worse and you get knocked out.
“No, we continue with the competition”, Kubiak said.

Time to put your money where you mouth is with your rookie quarterback.
