Trevor was named the NFL's Clutch Performer of the Week and along with teammate CJ Anderson, the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week for their performances against Skip's Cowgirls.
Speaking of Skip, here's his take on Trevor (no surprise).
Going to disagree w/ Shannon here, only real bone-headed throw Siemian has made this season thus far was the near pick 6 in game 1 where the DB suckered Trevor into throwing it to CJ.
The INT in the Cowboys game was a miscommunication btwn Trevor and DT, where Trevor read one thing and DT another w/ TS throwing to a spot (DT later stated that it was on him) and one can hardly blame Trevor for coughing up the ball on that sack as he didn't even have a chance to stop his drop and turn his head before he got pummeled when Watson (the Broncos RT) totally whiffed on a block even when he had help (if Watson doesn't improve his pass pro, is going to get Siemian hurt; already given up 6 sacks and a # of real hard hits by getting beat on his inside).
Skip has been on this whole tirade about Siemian falling apart in the 4th quarter which is BS.
Last season, Trev was 8th in QB passer rating in the 4th Q and even higher when the game was close in the 4th, and as usual, Skip has zero idea w/ what happened on that INT.
Hilarious that Skip makes all these excuses for Dak (no run game, etc.) but doesn't take into account that last season, Kubiak had to put it on Trevor's shoulders to win w/o an O-line or running game and playing hurt.
But Skip is just right there w/ all the other blowhard talking heads like Cowherd, Max Kellerman, Schein, Nick Wright, etc. who really don't know what they are talking about when it comes to QB play/development (Skip also has something stuck up his craw about Northwestern since the 'Cats keep beating Vandy).
One of the all-time greats at TE, Tony Gonzalez, tried to talk some sense into Skip before the Cowboys game about Trevor, but as usual, Skip dismissed it, thinking that he's correct.
Trevor's been getting a lot of accolades from former players who are now analysts or in the sports media, including Brian Baldinger.
But the former players best able to break down/analyze QB plays are former players and Siemian has been getting high marks from them (was getting it last season as well), with the exception of Brady Quinn and Danny Kanell.
Through 16 starts, Siemian has an 87.0 quarterback rating and a 24-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Among Week 1 starting quarterbacks with at least 16 career starts, that rating for the first 16 starts ranks 10th, just ahead of some high draft picks such as Tennessee's Marcus Mariota (No. 2 overall in 2015), Carolina's Cam Newton (No. 1 overall in 2011) and Tampa Bay's Jameis Winston (No. 1 overall in 2015).
But this must be noted: The vast majority of the current starting quarterbacks who had better quarterback ratings in their first 16 starts also had outstanding running games to support them. Dallas' Dak Prescott, for example, had a 106.4 rating last year, but he benefitted from Ezekiel Elliott, who led the NFL in rushing. Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger posted a 105.2 rating in his first 16 starts over the 2004 and 2005 seasons, but the Steelers leaned heavily on Duce Staley, Willie Parker and future Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis, who combined to average 125.1 yards per game during Roethlisberger's first 16 starts. It goes on like that, with the notable exceptions of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
For half of Siemian's first 16 starts, he didn't the same ground luxury of most of the quarterbacks who had better first-16 ratings, as Anderson missed Siemian's last eight starts in 2016 because of a torn meniscus. In Siemian's eight starts without Anderson, the Broncos averaged 74.9 rushing yards per game.
With Anderson in the backfield with Siemian, the Broncos have averaged 126.9 rushing yards per game. That has helped Siemian, whose rating in games with Anderson is 95.7 -- a figure that would vault him from 10th to fifth among those Week 1 starting quarterbacks. And for what it's worth, the Broncos are now 7-1 when they start together.

Not only that, the Broncos are 8-1 when Trevor throws 35 or fewer passes with the 1 loss being to KC in OT in a game they should have won (inexplicably, the Denver D gave up the lead late twice).
The Denver O-line still can't protect Siemian well enough (problem at LG and esp. at RT), but having a run game again has somewhat blunted the pass rush and McCoy's scheme and play-calling has been exactly what Trevor needed (no more scripted plays making up the bulk of calls and a lot more flexibility given to Siemian to audible).
Here's NFL Total Access trying to get some dirt on Trevor from Derek Wolfe.
Kyle Brandt's take on the Broncos being the best team in the West is pretty hilarious (starts at 8:11).
