Siemian acknowledged that improvements within the Broncos' offense are needed when asked about concerns shared by Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders regarding the team's passing game, 9News Denver reports.
In fairness to Siemian, these frustrations are likely a continuation from last season's mediocre play from Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler. Still, the Broncos have invested a boatload of money in Thomas and Sanders and have three 100-yard games combined between the two since Week 9 of last year to show for it. Siemian has deserved praise for his smarts and underneath accuracy through two weeks, but the team's red-zone struggles, Siemian's apparent unwillingness to throw deep, and ineffectiveness when doing so will be glossed over for only as long as the team wins. Once a low-scoring loss or two hits the team's record, there will be clamors for big-armed rookie Paxton Lynch.
