Two things that impressed receiver Emmanuel Sanders about Siemian was his slow heartbeat and his lightning bolt of a right arm. "If there's one thing that is a big strength of Trevor's is how much he can handle," Kubiak said. Kubiak said he won't pare the playbook for Siemian despite his inexperience - his only NFL snap was a kneel-down last year. Siemian learned Kubiak's West Coast offense last year when he had a birds-eye view of the Broncos' QB conundrum that required the coach to gather his team every Monday from mid-November on to inform the players whether Manning or Brock Osweiler would start. I try to be a good teammate, work every day, put my head down and be the best guy I can be." Siemian realizes a lot of NFL fans are asking who he is. I think we're really fortunate here we've got a lot of great leadership here in the locker room," Siemian said. "I don't think I want to change who I am or who I am in the locker room. And he has no designs on changing his understated style, no plans to switch from the quiet, leader-by-example type to one who's more vocal. Siemian says he pays no mind to the stress of the job. "He's probably got some commercials to shoot or something." "No, I'm sure he's pretty busy," Siemian said. He has no plans to hit up Manning's phone, either. I'm just trying to be the best man I can be every day, be the best teammate and take it from there." "So, those shoes are way too big to fill. I could probably get in a lot of trouble trying to be a first ballot Hall of Famer," Siemian said. Siemian was just as calm after the announcement as he's been every other day during his remarkable rise from part-time college starter to Peyton Manning's surprise successor. "I believe in this kid and what he can do for our football team." "I feel like it's the right decision," said Kubiak, whose team opens against Carolina on Sept. He wasn't even unnerved Monday when coach Gary Kubiak informed him he'd won the job - making him the only QB with no passing attempts to take over a defending Super Bowl champion in Week 1. Not by his six-month audition for the Broncos' starting QB job that began with him as the dark horse against veteran Mark Sanchez and first-round draft pick Paxton Lynch. Not by the knee injury that ended his college career at Northwestern and scared away everyone but the Denver Broncos, who made him the 250th overall pick in last year's draft. We have one that came up and fortunately Donovan Edwards was heads up and got on that that loose ball back in our own end.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. So, we didn’t want to give them anything, we didn’t want to give them any of those type of gifts. ![]() “It’s a very good strategy - field position, win the turnover battles, and they’re really tough to beat. “And so yeah, we talked about the importance, stressed the importance of ball security,” Harbaugh said. Harbaugh also revealed what type of conversations he had with his quarterback ahead of what turned out to be a tough test against the Hawkeyes: The Michigan coach said that he “loves” the young QB’s style of play as he described McCarthy’s composure in the pocket. Harbaugh had nothing but good things to say about McCarthy after another eyebrow-raising performance against a formidable Iowa side. But I mean, he reminds me of a young Jimmy Harbaugh.” And there’s nobody that loves that game more than I do,” Harbaugh said. So much so, that Harbaugh himself admitted that he actually sees a bit of himself in McCarthy (via Isaiah Hole of Wolverines Wire): It was another strong performance for the highly-promising QB, and his heroics against the Hawkeyes unsurprisingly drew some high praise from Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh. ![]() That’s JJ McCarthy’s new record as a starting quarterback after Michigan Football took down Iowa on Saturday 34-27.
