the broncos were hoping to name a starting quarter pack following the exhibition game, but instead, the position is more unsettled than ever. broncos were beaten by the 49ers, in the preseason home opener. trevor siemian played well in his first start, before he was intercepted by eric reed and returned it for a touchdown. mark sanchez, blew it by

seconds. great opportunity for lynch, who threw his first touchdown past. broncos lose 31-23. >> gary liked to have made the decision sooner than later, but things are still up in the air. >> just trying to do the best i can. and again from the things that happened tonight. >> siemian to throw, >> we made too many mistakes, obviously. they both did good things, i think they were both 10-14, you know? that's throwing the ball for a good percentage, but you have to protect the football. obviously we have to hang on to the good things, find a way to protect the ball for the team, and that's we need to focus on more than anything. >> i know i can play game and amber than what i showed in two bad plays that took away from a

it's really too bad. >> mike live doesn't know hot starting quarterback is going to be, nobody does! rob matthews. >> welcome back to the broncos locker room. mike, i don't -- we might be further away from having a quarterback announcement than before the game. >> it did not go as planned. they hoped someone would step up, and it got muddied a bit. the first in the post game press conference was the mistakes. too many mistakes. trevor had a big pick-six, and sanchez, you know, two fumbles off sacks, but you have to protect the ball when you're getting sacked. quarterbacks are trained not to do that. lynch actually had the most -- if you were grading him on a curve, the other guys are in high school, maybe getting cs.

plus. but still junior high, freshman. what we took out, lynch is going to be there at some point this season, and as elway and kubiak have said, sooner rather than later. >> what i thought was interesting, lynch talked about it would be nice to see paxton get a shot. last see what we can -- let's see what we can do. >> i think this is a preseason game, he was out there, out there late. against third but it was different what he played versus what sanchez and siemian played. still siemian versus sanchez, and they have to decide, but now, rod, i wouldn't be surprised if they go another preseason game before they make the decision. >> jeff hoffman made his major league debut. he was the top prospect that
