Sanders has no favorite in QB battle between Siemian, Lynch

Emmanuel Sanders doesn't know who'll be throwing him the ball in 2017. The Denver Broncos are set to stage an offseason quarterback battle between last year's starter Trevor Siemian and 2016 first-round pick Paxton Lynch, and the receiver apparently has no horse in the race.

"It really doesn't matter to me, honestly," Sanders said Monday, in response to the question of whether he minds the competition going down to the wire, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

"It's about who is going to be the right guy. In due time, we will figure that out. That guy will show up and make the necessary plays. The coaching staff and (John) Elway and all those guys there will make the decisions. Obviously I've just got to do my job. The ball is going to come, I got to catch it and make plays."

Sanders said the Broncos should give the two quarterbacks enough time for a proper competition, but added it's in the best interests of the team to lock in on one guy sooner rather than later.

"Obviously the earlier that we can get clarity, the better," Sanders said. "But do we want to rush that process? No. We don't want to rush that process. We want to have the right guy. I know those two guys are excited. I'm excited to see because competition brings out the best in you. We're going to see who it brings out the best in. It's going to be pretty cool to see."
