The Facts: The Broncos will formally begin their offseason work Monday when players report for their first set of voluntary workouts. HC Vance Joseph has repeatedly said the work in April, May and June for the two QBs -- Siemian and Paxton Lynch -- will be mainly to learn the new offense. Each also has at least one major item he'll have to wrestle with as well to win the job. For Siemian, the biggest hurdle in the months to come is to know when to say when with the ball. In short, he takes too many hits and he often takes a risk or two with throws outside the numbers that he shouldn't.

Diehards Line: Siemian has spent his offseason at the Broncos' complex as a reminder of that -- he had surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder just after the 2016 season. While the struggles in the offensive line last season have certainly been factored into the evaluation, Broncos coaches still want Siemian to find a way to reduce the pounding he took. "That comes with being a young QB," Joseph said. "You learn that part of when the down has expired, get rid of the football and live for the next down ... A couple of those shots he took last year he could have probably prevented." And Joseph will be looking for him to avoid those going forward.
