text: Kizla makes associations with no correlation.  Manning took a pay cut because his skills were declining and he wanted to go out with a Super Bowl win.  Phillips went out because of contract terms - better deal with the Rams.  Siemian got hurt because he got no protection (though injuries can happen to even the best protected quarterback but last year the entire backfield got hurt) and Lynch is chasing squirrels and needs to get his head out of the clouds when it may be he needs more time or is just not up to being a NFL quarterback.  Siemians stats are good for a first year quarterback - better than Mannings in his first year.  It may be Lynch takes over but it won't be because Elway or Joseph are listening to Kizla.  I suspect if Siemian remains healthy he will be surprising.  He doesn't seem to get rattled by anything and he is smart - smarter than most of the quarterbacks in the league.  Fortunately for Bronco fans, Elway and Joseph know more football than either Kizla or I do.
