Paxton Lynch is trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons

When Chad Kelly finally got the reins of the offense, the Broncos had themselves their first passing touchdown of the game.

Denver Broncos third-year quarterback Paxton Lynch was trending on Twitter in the United States on Saturday evening.

Unfortunately for Lynch, he wasn’t trending for any good reasons.

The Broncos are playing the Minnesota Vikings on NFL Network so Lynch’s poor performance is being seen on national television.

Here’s a sampling of the tweets about Lynch so far:

Paxton Lynch is throwing high and it is going to get his WRs killed.

He already threw another wide out into triple coverage.

His issues have always been above the shoulders and so far that has been his downfall to start the 2018 season.

If you still argue for Paxton Lynch to be anything more than a tour guide at Mile High Stadium, I can’t help you. You’re a certifiable lint licker. You ski in jeans. You say things like ‘’cool beans!’’ to your eHarmony matches.

Not once has Paxton Lynch looked like he's had any idea what he's doing in the NFL.

Paxton Lynch might be the most irrelevant 1st round QB of all-time.

Not trying to overreact here but Paxton Lynch should be in prison

First thing I did when I turned on Madden 19? I cut Paxton Lynch.

Is that petty? Lol
