Could Siemien Be a Lot Better With a Full Week of Starter Reps? [Mod edit]

Losing your starting QB is never ideal but if you look at it from a production standpoint, Winston's numbers so far this year seem manageable.

Not including last night, Winston has averaged this through 6 complete games:

15/25 186 yards 2 TDs .5 Int

Winston has also made some big plays with his feet extending drives. There's no way to replace Winston's arm talent but I don't think it's unreasonable to think Siemian could hover around those per game averages. But it's the same as it was with Winston, real simple, take care of the ball. If it's not there throw it away.

And Trevor nearly got (those numbers) in 3 quarters of relief... Pretty sure Taysom can get there or better, while also offering his running skills.... we'll be fine.

(BTW - Taysom through his 4 games last year averaged 22/30 232 yards 1 TD .5 Int 52 Rush Yds and 1 Rush TD - Per game)

People need to just get behind Taysom and drop their bias at this point about the guy, Sean has stated many times that Trevor is the "in game backup" due to the game plan with Taysom at other positions... but should the Starter not be available going forward, Taysom would be the QB1 the following week.

Like it or not, this is Taysom's team from here on (as long as he is healthy).
