Aqib Talib Says Trevor Siemian Is Better Than Brock Osweiler After Win vs Texans
- Updated: October 25, 2016
Following a dominant 27-9 win over the Houston Texans Monday night, Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib endorsed quarterback Trevor Siemian over the departed Brock Osweiler.
According to Lindsay H. Jones of USA Today, Talib expressed his belief that the unheralded Siemian is superior to Osweiler despite their huge difference in salary: “If you look at it overall, [general manager John Elway] saved a bunch of money. And Trev is a great quarterback, man. He’s better than Brock in my eyes. So it’s a win-win situation.”
The numbers appear to support Talib’s assertion, particularly when taking Monday’s game into account.
Siemian threw for a modest 157 yards and one touchdown, but Osweiler struggled to the tune of 131 yards and no touchdowns on 22-of-41 passing. The former Bronco averaged a meager 3.2 yards per attempt as well.
