  1. Never forget when Mile High Report and Benjamin Allbright kept slandering and talking shit about Siemian just so Paxton Lynch could start.

  2. I don’t really wish him any ill will, and it sucks to see someone struggle this hard at their dream, but at some point you gotta think about a career outside of being a QB.

  3. Can we please get over hate-jerking over this guy? Lynch has nothing to do with the Broncos anymore. Let’s all move on — goddamn.

  4. I think almost any other player in his shoes would’ve given up by now. Props to him for staying at it and trying to follow his dream

  5. Not a fan of hating on him, but it’s an interesting tidbit for sure.

    My prediction: Greatest.Redemption.Story.Ever when he wins the NFL mvp and leads the undefeated NY Jets to the Super Bowl championship in 2025. Book it!

  6. Funny (kind of?) but he was never actually benched in the CFL. Was barely ever even on the active roster. That would be like saying a rookie practice squad QB in the NFL was benched after he never played a down.

  7. Poor bastard is basically Wile E Coyote at this point. I mean I guess you got to respect that he keeps trying.

  8. The guy has made 9 million in career earnings already so he’s financially set for life. Maybe he just wants to play as long as he can wherever he can and doesn’t care about the money and the accolades honestly. If you were in his shoes, wouldn’t you do the same?

  9. In his defense, the receivers were terrible too. I watched the game and they weren’t helping him at all. The XFL was pretty good football though. They have a chance to solidify themselves with the NFL being so soft
