Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Yesterday, November 1, as expected, your Denver Broncos pulled downward-spiraling quarterback Trevor Siemian from the starting lineup in favor of Brock Osweiler, who was F-bombed on social media after leaving the team in 2016 and heavily ridiculed upon his return earlier this year following big-time failures in Houston and Cleveland.
The reaction on Twitter by fans can't be characterized as wildly enthusiastic. Plenty of folks see both players as pathetic.
So much so that there were more calls for team exec John Elway to sign the controversial Colin Kaepernick — or bring back Tim Tebow.
In the meantime, Osweiler has earned the honor of, in all likelihood, getting his ass kicked this upcoming weekend by the Philadelphia Eagles, currently one of the best squads in the NFL. Lucky him.
Continue to count down our picks for the twenty most memorable tweets about the Trevor-for-Brock swap — many of them just a leeeetle bit profane.

Paxton Lynch = garbage
Brock Osweiler= terrible
This is Elway’s mess. The Broncos may not win another game.

How’s that fair to Trevor when the o-line is so terrible. All the fans that hated Brock for leaving are jumping right back on the bandwagon

Brock will be Brock again, and then, what? Cry for Tebow? This is called "growing pains". Trevor will be back and better.

Yeah... I guess at this point it seems more likely that Brock will be the next Peyton rather than Trevor the next Tom. pic.twitter.com/tiLVYKM3ra

I think the Broncos still hate Brock so much that they put him behind the leaky line so they can save Trevor's body and let Brock take hits!

Is Brock a good QB? No. But there was absolutely 0 chance u could have justified continuing to play Trevor, he’s the worst QB in the league
