BCJet Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This is an Excellent signing Siemian has a good deal of starting experience, can get to his second read, is accurate on short slant-type passes in the middle of the field (Gase speciality) and is a decent athlete. He’s probably just as good as tannenhill ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to hate a guy that never played. Maybe it was the fact that they gave up a 5th rounder to get him for one year. That would chap me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc855 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This is a very “win now” move. The reality is Sam could get hurt even if only for a few games like last year. The jets wanted a backup that could still make a playoff run if Sam goes down. Solid move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just sign him for like 6 years and forget about it?

Integrity28 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Mac tried to acquire Semian from Denver last year or the one before. Probably another intentional move to get a backup QB, despite not having a starting QB at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtina Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Great move. Finally a backup QB half the age of our previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Perfect. Candidate, length of contract, terms, dollars, and fit. Another appropriate valuable off-season addition. Funny how the prognostications about "no one will want to come here" , and "we'll have to grossly overpay players to sign here", are being disproved with each subsequent move. Nice..

jetstream23 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 1 hour ago, Patriot Killa said: I’d say. he didnt look THAT bad in Denver, he’s just best suited as a back up. There was also a stretch where he looked like a solid starter. I'll have to go back to his game logs but I vaguely remember a stretch (meaning more than just 2 or 3 games) where he was possibly looking like the longterm answer for Denver. Not sure what happened after that but I like the same things that most people here are saying.... 1. Starting experience (20+ games) 2. Still young 3. Cheap 4. Has shown an ability to lead and win some games Nobody is expecting a Wentz/Foles situation here but we could have done far worse than Siemian. Question - What does this say about the development (or lack thereof) of Davis Webb if he can't even earn a #2 job after two seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell, Crowder, Mosely, the trade for Osemele were all good upgrades....but they were upgrading positions from like a C to a B+ or an A. At Edge and Center we still have either D players or Incompletes IMO. My grade for FA would be an Incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Edge and Center we still have either D players or Incompletes IMO. My grade for FA would be an Incomplete. I take into account the draft pick for the pass rusher. So that lightened the need for that. And that he has never traded down. The center is the true hole. I had him at a B+ before signing Poole, Compton etc. Now I will say that I don't think he can get an A+ at this point. The highest he can get is an A. If Barr stayed and he signed a center, then an A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlito1171 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 A backup with Starter experience who can come in for spot duty if needed. Siemian was decent with the Post-Manning Broncos I dig it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing's really changed. I don't care about camp arms throwing to the future meat cutters of America. Signing Siemian means we will not be retaining Webb. Which is ok, just a little disappointing. Would have liked to see Webb play as the #2 with a chance to hang on in preseason. Now that's doubtful. Siemian is a pretty bad QB. But at least he's cheap'ish I suppose. I don't really expect him to step in and win, same as I wouldn't have expected McCown to do so. So it's not a terribly exciting move IMO. Young and bad instead of old and bad, but cheaper. Guess that hope that comes with an unknown (Webb) is still a powerful driver for me vs. the known failed meh guy (Siemian), but I can certainly understand the move. NFL teams always want a guy with experience as the #2, even if they sucked in that experience (and Siemian was pretty sucky tbh). Sidegrade IMO.

Not to pile on Mac, but we could have carried over 7 more Million to this year's cap if he paid McCown this same amount last year. Why would there be this difference when Siemian while not the exp. vet as much as McCown would be an even more trust worthy backup. With that darn 7M we could have had more to spend on a FA pass rusher or center. Geez!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Yea at this point Sam shouldn’t need a big brother....not saying Sam has arrived but he has a year under his belt there’s no need to have a mentor hold his hand. You have to trust that Gase can coach him up and Sam can continue to learn how to navigate being a franchise QB through his own experience...
