The Broncos will introduce Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback on Friday.
Has Denver’s long-awaited quarterback drought finally ended?
Not since Peyton Manning led the Broncos to a Super Bowl 50 championship has the team featured a steady presence at the position or a playoff berth. Here’s a look back at the (lack of) success for those who have followed in Manning’s footsteps. Good luck, Joe.
Trevor Siemian
Starting record: 13-11
Statistics: 495-of-835 passing (59.3) for 5,686 yards, 30 touchdowns and 24 interceptions.
Bottom line: Siemian, a 2015 seventh-round draft selection from Northwestern, beat out a veteran and first-round pick to start in year two, and then lead Denver in 24 starts.
