vincec Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Brian Griese didn't stand a chance in succeeding a "legendary" QB who retired after winning a Super Bowl. Same team, same situation, bigger legend. I would think twice, too. Good move for Osweiler. For Texas? LOL. Maybe, but he's really put the pressure on himself now. He doesn't have a lot of experience and would probably benefit from some patience but that is out the window. He'd better come out looking like the next Tom Brady or he's going to get lambasted given what they signed him for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 For all their success the Broncos outdid the Dumerville fiasco with the way they botched this QB transition. Could they bring in the Amish rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If I was Denver I'd go for Fitz not a boom or bust guy like RGIII or Kap. As others have said their D can win them games alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 7 starts http://www.9news.com/sports/broncos-offer-to-osweiler-3-years-more-than-45-million/69607526 Updated - leaves SB champs for Texans. That's nuts on both sides; what is Denver going to do at QB and not sure if OZ is proven yet to be the guy. On a side note Schopp and BD were talking about scenarios about Denver trading 3 first round picks for TT, to which I say hell yeah! I'm getting a Rob Johnson feeling on this one. Huge contract with limited action. Well, at least the Texans didn't give up a 1st rounder. Wish Rob Johnson was the next Peyton and he was doing a farewell retirement ceremony If I was Denver I'd go for Fitz not a boom or bust guy like RGIII or Kap. As others have said their D can win them games alone. agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commish Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If things had worked out differently - Kubiak made a push for Taylor last winter - Taylor might already have a Super Bowl ring, in fact, he may have been the Super Bowl starting QB last month. Glad he's a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 So this wasn't all a dream? Good lord, Texans. This is getting someone fired soon. Terrible contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think Brock Osweiler is set to be the Rob Johnson of the Houston Oilers, and the Houston Oilers are getting set to be the "Grass is Greener" have-nots of the QB Sweepstakes.you're showing your age!

Nihilarian Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 That really is crazy money for a guy with 7 starts who went 5-2 was not so great at times. The Brockster, the RB from Miami in Miller, an O-lineman all for a mere 126 mill over four years. The Texans were desperate for a top starting QB, but man what a huge gamble. Then John Elway must have a backup plan with someone in mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Wow , $37M guaranteed after 7 games as starter http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/brock-osweiler/ the money might be a safer gamble then the 3 # 1s for RG3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Huge roll of the dice by Houston. Regardless of how it turns out for them, it's bad for us. Agree on Houston rolling the dice large - and I wonder if they weren't driving up his price bidding against themselves. It's probably bad for the Bills, but if he flames out it lends credence to the "stupid contract, outlier" argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Old man Peyton going to get a phone call today? As a QB coach to mentor . Maybe even part time as player since Brock is gone. Jim Harbaugh has high praise for Kaep http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000643108/article/jim-harbaugh-colin-kaepernick-still-a-great-player Edited March 10, 2016 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
