With Paxton Lynch’s very poor performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars 3rd ranked pass defense, many Denver Broncos fans were relieved to finally be proven right in their assessment of Lynch.
It begs the question, are they right?
John Elway expended major draft capital to draft the guy in the first round, but after two and a half starts is he a two year project or a three year project or a never project?
Personally, I think the anti-Lynch attitudes are every bit as strong as the anti-Siemian ones and fans are just prone to kneejerk gloating when they feel vindicated. Lynch isn’t ready, but I did see glimpses of what he could be in today’s game. Those were not shared by the loudest of the critics out there right now.
There is no question when it comes to which quarterback the Broncos must roll with into the playoffs, though. Trevor Siemian or bust for the Broncos in 2016 ... and maybe beyond.
Here are some of the reactions from Broncos fans on social media to Lynch’s “win” over the Jaguars.
Paxton Lynch is living proof that measureables don't mean squat. Height and arm strength don't make a QB ready for the NFL.

"Paxton Lynch wins for the first time as an NFL starter" is about the most inaccurate statement of the day.

@MileHighReport Lynch is the worst draft pick of the Elway era. First round pick and traded a third to move up. He's a disaster.

@MileHighReport @FSP1791 plan should be to move forward w/ Siemian in 2017 but unfortunately Lynch trade value plummeting the more he plays

@MileHighReport And I knew he'd suck.

Called it.
Elway can't pick QBs
@MileHighReport Trade Paxton.
— NotSoCommonSense (@mlaud1321) December 4, 2016
Never let elway pick a QB again

Would rather cancel Christmas then watch Paxton Lynch play again

@Broncos, Paxton Lynch is a draft bust.
