It began in November when Peyton Manning hobbled to the sideline with a foot injury, the latest victim of the truism that time wounds all heels. The quarterback chaos continued into the playoffs and has dominated Denver's airwaves all offseason.
A lot of times teams say they have a quarterback competition but that's really for show because there's clearly a front-runner or a favored candidate,Cheap Jerseys Authentic. That's not the case in Denver,China Jerseys Football.
Sanchez had a two-month head start, but then a weight room mishap sent him to Vail, Colorado, for surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb and he was unable to take snaps during the first week of OTAs.
Coach Gary Kubiak appears utterly unfazed by it all as he auditions Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch to lead the Super Bowl champs in 2016.
That's opened the door for Siemian, who has looked the sharpest so far.
Splitting snaps with three quarterbacks has ripple effects,Wholesale Shoes China. Not all of them can work behind the starting O-line and throw to Emmanuel Sanders and Thomas while facing Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib.
They say when you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. So, what about when you have three?
"We're not worried," wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said. "We've still got time."
You'd think with 72 career starts and several playoff wins, Sanchez would be the one tutoring the youngsters. But that's not really the case.
Then, Elway tried to acquire Colin Kaepernick at both a discount and a rebate and was spurned on both fronts as Kaepernick declined to take a pay cut and the San Francisco 49ers refused to eat some of his contract to facilitate a trade.
So, on draft night Elway outmaneuvered Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to move up in a deal with Seattle and acquire his potential franchise quarterback.
Elway quickly acquired Sanchez, who is in the final year of his deal that pays him $5 million next year, from Philadelphia. At the time, Elway called Sanchez, who hasn't been a full-time starter since 2012, the "first step in this process."
"It is different," Kubiak said. "It's unusual for the most part in this league. But I think we have a good situation, too, because I see three really good football players. ... What I'm trying to do is make sure I walk off the field every day where they've each got 40 reps or whatever and I can sit down and take a look at where they're at and how they're doing because I know the team is looking at the same thing."
"That's an interesting dynamic," Kubiak said. "Mark is the guy with the experience, but he has no experience here. He's got his own problems right now of getting everything down."
"We wouldn't have done what we did without both of those guys," Elway said. "They're both to be commended and ultimately, it was Gary making that call as far as what his gut told him to do. To me,New York Jets Throwback Jersey, those are the types of things that take head coaches from good to great. They have that ability to make that call and Gary made that call."
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have featured uncertainty under center for more than six months now.
"I know that's hard," Kubiak said, "but that's what we need to do right now to get to where we need to go."
Ideally, Lynch would sit a year as he adjusts from the spread offense he ran at Memphis to Kubiak's West Coast offense. He's working on his footwork and cramming mentally, saying it's "pretty overwhelming just because it was the first time I've seen a playbook that looked like a dictionary."
Still, Elway isn't dismissing the notion that Lynch will prove a quick study and win the job in August.
So, Siemian, who's been in Kubiak's system the longest, soaked in a year's worth of watching Manning and Osweiler and was the backup for two months last season, finds himself in the unusual position of being the QB providing guidance despite never throwing a pass in the pros.
Of course, Osweiler's next move was to leave the Broncos for Houston's four-year, $72 million deal, throwing Elway's line-of-succession plans into the trash.
Players say they're not fretting and fans shouldn't,Cheap NHL Jerseys From China, either. After all, Kubiak so masterfully managed the minefields of his QB quandary last season that a tour of the White House is on tap for Monday.
In the glow of Denver's defense-fueled 24-10 win over Carolina in the Super Bowl, general manager John Elway praised Kubiak's deft handling of the sticky quarterback situation, when he benched
