The Facts: Siemian won the Denver Broncos' quarterback battle with his steady play. HC Vance Joseph nameed Siemian starting QB at his Monday news conference and called it "permanent."

Diehards Line: Siemian starting the season under center is the expected result following two preseason games. The incumbent has been much more consistent guiding the Broncos' offense than former first-round pick Paxton Lynch. As NFL.com summed up, Siemian is not the sexy pick, but it's the one that gives the Broncos the best chance to win out of the gate in 2017.
