Are the Broncos struggling to motivate Paxton Lynch?

 The Broncos reportedly are struggling with their former first-round pick Paxton Lynch.

The Denver Broncos have just finished their first week of the team’s offseason team activities. The biggest issue revolving around the organization is who’s going to be under center to open the 2017 season.

Trevor Siemian, who was the team’s starter last season, is going head-to-head with 2016 first-round pick Paxton Lynch for the starting gig. This quarterback battle will be a huge deciding factor for the fate of the Broncos franchise for what could look to be the foreseeable future and apparently the team is struggling to get a handle on their former first-round pick of this past draft.

According to Bryan Broaddus of Dallas News, a couple of his Broncos sources have told him the team is struggling with Lynch.

"“I talked to some guys in Denver; they’re having a problem with Paxton Lynch right now because they can’t get him to buy into the things like Dak Prescott bought in, where early in late out, that kind of thing,” Broaddus said."

The coincidence in a Dallas Cowboys beat writer making this known publicly about Lynch is the Cowboys pursued Lynch in the 2016 NFL Draft during the first round only to lose out to the Broncos acquiring his services.

Broncos beat writer Mike Klis went to Twitter to address these allegations.

This does seem like a Cowboys beat writer just trying to give further validation that the team got the better quarterback of the draft in Dak Prescott, but he is claiming he got his info from Broncos sources, so it’s something to keep an eye on.

If Siemian wins the starting gig once again this time with a different coaching staff and in the meantime keeping Lynch on the bench, one has to wonder why? The reasons Broaddus is suggesting could answer that question.

The Broncos invested not only a first-round pick in Lynch, but traded the team’s 2016 third round pick to Seattle to move up and secure Lynch. The fans are going to want to see sooner rather than later if the investment was worth it and if Lynch is the team’s future at quarterback.

Time will tell who starts for the Broncos, but all eyes are on Lynch now and this report further proves that point.
