For whoever was wondering what the odds are.......here ya go.

And Os could be #4. Let's wait and see what happens. Maybe we end up drafting a really good QB before or just after Peyton hangs it up. Maybe Os becomes the second coming of Brady.

Brett Favre was one of them (taken by the Falcons). Wasn't Drew Brees also a second or am I mistaken?

Matt Schaub was a 3rd. I'd take that production out of Os.

Look Chopper, we didn't draft your boy Foles and you hate Osweiler, we get it. Given the current circumstances, I'd give Osweiler much better odds of being a productive NFL QB than Foles.

When Foles makes his first probowl and Oz washes out, please feel free to bump this thread, but until then, for the love of all that it holy, give it a rest. Seriously, nobody gives a shit and we don't need a new thread praising Foles and/or ripping Oz every other day...

Considering the Eagles took Foles in the 3rd, wouldn't the Broncos have missed out on drafting him if they didn't take Osweiler in the 2nd? I sincerely hope Chop wouldn't have expected Denver to trade up to get Foles like they did Hillman. That means Denver would have been stuck with Hanie and Weber at QB.

And they sure as hell shouldn't have taken Foles in the 2nd.......right, Chop?

So there ya have it, the Broncos couldn't have drafted Foles anyway, so all of this is pointless.......

ELWAY called him a sacrifice of the present.
OS is in a good situation, with time and dedication, he has a better chance than most to succeed, but I have yet to hear anyone confirm any special quality or distinction that would make the kid stand out.other than just standing TALL.

Just be glad of one thing. So far in the otas I have heard almost nothing about our backup project qb. Almost everything is about our hall of fame first string qb. There finnaly is a clear cut definitive starter who almost all the bronco nation and nfl nation combined agree on and can get behind. We no longer have a circus with more talk about our project backup than our starter.

I am willing to atleast give brock an off season and pre season games to see how he looks and give him time to develop and am thrilled that my backup isn't getting more attention than my starter.

The statistics tell you what you should expect. If that treads all over your enthusiasm, then ignore it. Believe whatever you want.

Personally, I'm going to wait and see if Osweiler ever develops into an elite QB. Maybe Elway is right. If he does, great!

All these odds being tossed at Osweiler is making me wonder why he's being treated like a pair of dice . . .

You of all people ought to understand the way statistics works, Top! Black mark on your report card! :tsk:

Statistics say NOTHING about whether Osweiler will or won't make it.

What they DO say is what percentage chance there is that a QB taken at #57 or later becomes a good QB, or an elite QB based on a given sample.

They state what chance there is that a particular event will fall within a given range.

What they do NOT say is that any particular event CANNOT fall outside the predicted range!

A QB taken in the 6th round CAN become Tom Brady. It CAN happen. The odds are just against it that's all.

And we say that the odds are against it because we can look at well over 100 QBs taken after #56 in the 2nd round over the last 12 years and see that only Matt Schaub has been any good.

Once again that does NOT prove that Osweiler won't be any good. We'll have to wait and see about that.

MOtorboat
05-25-2012, 12:58 PM
20.4 percent of all second round quarterbacks have been to a Pro Bowl.

So you've got about a 1 in 5 chance that Osweiler is a decent quarterback.

As we established when HammeredOut was on his "left-handed" kick, of all quarterbacks drafted, about 15 percent "pan out" and my standards when I looked at those numbers weren't as lofty as Pro Bowl-level.

Therefore, I'd say it's probably a one in four, or one in three chance of Osweiler "panning out."

First - fans vote for pro bowl players = popularity contest - fans' votes count for 1/3rd - Second - many players chosen to play in the pro bowl do not play - either because of injury, or do not want to play. Therefore, in going along with the theme of the thread, based on the above, there is NO WAY anyone can assume anything in regards to who has played in the pro bowls in past years.

who is this guy "PETE" and why should I care about his well being/
is he a blonde haired QB draFTED IN THE SECOND ROUND?
just exactly how many guys named PETE have won a superbowl as a replacement QB ?
is this your idea of the PETER principle?

Zam, this may be a topic for another thread, but what kind of bike do you ride? what is your opinion on such brandnames as Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Jamis, Ironhorse, Giant, etc?

I now have a commuter bike, a GIANT.
I have owned TREK
and SPECIALIZED too
I always had a road bike until I moved to SEDONA, then went mountain bike !
My grandfather was the first to bring SCHWINN across the missisipi to western america!
His shop in downtown denver was HOUSE OF WHEELS.
His company was petite cycle supply, and he was the first to IMPORT japanese bikes to america after WW2
his own brand was AMERICAN FLYER
and the little red wagon now so popular , that was his design and idea.
his antique bicycle collection is now a part of the smithsoneon museum, but few if any are on display.
My grandfather is long gone, but he would be thrilled to see the popularity that cycling now enjoys in america , sadly, he passed away before greg lemond won his first TDF !

trek made in america ( the frame) but most bike manufactures buy their various parts form other component manufacturesrs.
I look for SHIMANO of components as well as frame and wheel construction. These are the most important parts of a bike, regardless of type and manufacturer.
CAMPONOLO is also outstanding, but very rare to find on a "brand' bicycle sold in the U.S.
My brothers road bike is a graphite frame and predominantly shimano custom components, it weighs less than 12 pounds.
he also spent more than 6g on it !
I dont have that kind of coin !
My bad back allows me to roll on the bike paths, my days of mountain biking and 100 mile rides are long gone.
when the weather is nice, I ride my bike to work.
if you have a specific question about a particular bike, maybe a new thread would be approprite.

Stats? How about the stat says NO quarterback that tall has ever amounted to shyt. Therefore "Too Tall" Brock is going to suck. Elway should have his head examined for making this pick. Doesnt he know tall guys suck?

It's Campaignolo which are typically included on Bianchi frames (Itallians are some of the best bike makers in the world) which have quite affordable frames.

look at you nut! your go-getter attitude may have just turned this thread into something that benefits someone somewhere maybe someday, instead of the dynamite abortion that it started out as.

So far I'm learning that according to stats, the all knowing force that pull the strings of all humanity like an insanely power hungry puppeteer, the only QBs with any actual shot of making it are between 6'2" and 6'6" and drafted in the top twenty of the draft.

And drafted in the second round and Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round, but those are anomolies that count not dog. You really should brush up on your Superchop and Cugel, they have a higher understanding of stats and QB matrixes.
