ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- They were the insurance policies the Broncos never needed to use. But at some point in the future, the team's hopes may rest on the young quarterbacks who sat behind Peyton Manning on the depth chart last season.
Brock Osweiler's development remains the focal point of the Broncos' future hopes for a smooth transition and a team that fulfills executive vice president John Elway's mantra of being able to win not just now, but "from now on." He saw his most extended action as a pro in the regular-season finale at Oakland, and showed enough progress to buoy quarterback coach Greg Knapp's confidence.
"I was pleased to see Brock's performances in the preseason get better in each game, and then he played a pretty good second half against Oakland in this last regular season game, and I feel like he's making progress," Knapp said.
Added head coach John Fox: "He has definitely improved. He’s way further ahead this year than he was a year ago. I think he’s got a comfort level. Of course, the time he spends with Peyton, I think, is a great benefit. But he’s smart, he’s got all the athletic tools and now it’s just a matter of getting opportunities to play the game."
