Amazing how quickly things turned.  After the first 2 games this season, Siemian looked like he had improved and may have been on a path to growing into the solid NFL starter many of us thought he might become with more time and experience.

But all of a sudden, he started regressing after the Dallas game.  Not all his fault, of course (his pass protection is pathetic).  But it's been a regression nonetheless.  And for a guy that was starting from such a low spot (7th round), he couldn't afford this kind of regression.  He needed to show continued progress just to get up to "Top-20 QB" (which is only a modest goal).

I was one that thought he had a chance to make that continued progression, but not any longer.  The mental game was supposed to be his strength (grasping the offense, reading defenses, etc), but even that seems to be failing him.  We may have to keep starting him this season because we don't have anything better, but the thought that he could be the future is gone now.
