Siemian has all the skills needed except leadership on the field. Teams have an easier time game planning for him than a motivational leader who will do anything to hep his team. He just doesn't have the "it" factor. Does Bortles? We'll find out at training camp.

Know some of the leaders on this time haven't rallied to the idea of Taysom as a starting QB, but there's no other player that energizes the offense as well as he has...

He just hasn't had enough reps with a full-strength offensive line or all the weapons available as others; and he's had the worst luck of late with injuries...

Sometimes it leaves me scratching my head, but I feel I see what Sean sees in Taysom being a starting QB, and the ceiling could be terrific; just gotta fix the offensive line...

And secure a better WRz option...
