I'm told QB Brock Osweiler has agreed to a deal in principle with the Houston #Texans.

I'm not. It won't be Siemian. Reportedly, the Broncos have not given much thought to Plan B.

Now they are in panic mode, caught with their pants down.

Siemian is a 7th round backup, with no experience at all, not a QB capable of leading a SB champion to another SB.

I think you can relax. It does not look like Elway wants RGIII. Signing him would be a desperation move. They aren't that desperate yet. Rather, they will try and negotiate with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Problem is, he'll want money close to what Brock got - closer to $16M a year with 2 years guaranteed.

If you want to make yourself feel a little better, look at this article that Barnwell posted a couple of weeks ago. In the Texans section, it shows Brock's first seven starts in comparison to Hoyer's. Hopefully he'll keep trending that way.

I want to know what they paid him, because anything higher than 15 a year is a horrible deal. Denver is just going to end up signing Kaepernick or RG3, and in Kubiak's system they could both flourish. Or, let's be honest, Elway might try to trade up and grab a QB. The fact of the matter is that Brock is not a stud QB, and the likelihood of him becoming an elite player is marginal at best. This is what happens when a position is so important that guys like Brock are overvalued.

What Osweiler is worth depends on how he does. If he turns into a top 10 QB then it's a steal. If he stays mediocre, they still probably win their division, so it's worth it. If he fails (unlikely) then it's not worth it.

There's no such thing as intrinsic "worth". They think they didn't have a QB and now they do. We'll see.

It wasn't that long ago you thought Osweiler was meh at best.

He might very well be MEH. I don't deny that! I do NOT think he's a top 10 QB or will become a top 10 QB in the next 2 or 3 years.

BUT, what is the alternative? Elway screwed up because he could have paid this guy $5M or so last year, maybe $6M this year with an option for 2017. He would very probably have signed it because he was earning $1M a year last year. And there was no plan to play him at all in 2015, unless Peyton got hurt.

And if he did play a few games, there was no guarantee he'd do great and get a big offer.

Elway simply did not plan for this possibility. He underestimated the market. Then he desperately tried to negotiate a deal with Brock after he became a FA.

And as could easily be predicted, some other team outbid him. It apparently wasn't even close.

And that is a horrible screw up.

I think it's unlikely the Broncos will make a serious run for another SB this season because every other QB prospect they might sign is worse than Osweiler!

Let's not pretend Elway doesn't deserve serious criticism over this screwup!

or maybe now's the time for us to invest in a legit QB of the future. . . speaking of which. . .



Yep, same as Malik. We're rolling in picks but have no QB.

true-- but at least all those picks will give us ammo to acquire a QB. . . with all those extra picks coming in next year (and probably any extra 3rd and 4th this year, as well), we can afford to make any move we want, short of jumping into the top ten. . . if we want to flip a pick for a vet like kaep, we have plenty to spare. . . or the juice to move up for lynch if he falls into our range, and we like him. . . hell. . . NOT that i would, but we could theoretically even give up next year's first if we had to. . . it won't come to that, but at least we do have some options. . .

given the contributions we got from our QBs this year, it won't take much to match or exceed it. . . we will need to spend some assets to upgrade the OL and re-stock the front seven, though. . . JFE's job just got tougher, for sure. . . but there's no one i'd rather have making the calls. . . he'll make it work. . .

Well, this league will cut your ass the first chance it gets so I guess it makes sense to get your money while you can. Honestly I'm happy Brock got we he could and the Broncos didn't take any chances on overpaying him. No hard feelings but I hope the Texans suck next year, but I don't have vitriol towards Brock like I did Cutler.

Honestly I like him but I wasn't sold. He wasn't benched for bad play in the San Diego game but rather for not getting his team focused. Now comes the balancing act of keeping this elite defense together and getting a QB in here that can do just enough to win games. Personally I think this is exciting! For all we know Brock was like a good trailer for a bad movie... we shall see.

Sorry Artie, I disagree. Elway lowballed Osweiler and it backfired. Now our options are RGIII who got beat out by Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy, Fitzpatrick or trading a 1st round pick for a scrub. If you're excited, well I am glad someone is....

"Loyalty." Loyalty is very low on my important character traits. Maybe that is why I don't mind these guys moving on.

Malik was a hit to me because he was talented. His loss WILL hurt this team. My anger yesterday was aggravation of losing talent. I don't hate him, just won't follow him.

Oz...spineless little twit, I hate him. I hope he has the worst career of any Texans QB ever...and that will be pretty hard because they've had some terrible qb's. I hope he fails and this is his only contract ever. HATE!!!! **** him!

Brock was better than nothing. Now we'll just have to find something better than Brock. That bar isn't exactly Prime Manning high. John drafted him and had him in camp for years and didn't want to pay outrageous sums to turn the offense over to him. Siemian had a better first camp than Brock's third. *shrugs* I'm not all that worried about it. Makes it hard for us to repeat, but that was gonna be tough anyway.

Just go get the right guy for the future. It's not Brock now, but I wasn't sold that it was ever gonna be Brock. Now he won't be around to keep us as a decent team while the heir gets ready - but chair-warmer is a position a number of players can fill.

Let's see what we got.

Broncos offered 3 years, $16M a year, $30M guaranteed.

Texans offered 4 years, $18M a year, $37M guaranteed.

Sandy Clough - Osweiler was spitting mad at being benched at Kubiak. He got his revenge today.

Well then he should have led his team better so they didn't make mistakes. There was an interview with one of the players about that game and they said as soon as Manning got in the huddle "things got real". When Brock can LEAD a team like a starter then he should get starter type money.

Brock Osweiler is a marginal one read QB. He'll be easily replaced and Kubiak can actually get a QB that will fit his system.

I think he was pissed that he got sat down in San Diego and didn't get to go in for the playoffs/Super Bowl and made up his mind way back then that all Denver was at that point was a way to drive up his price.

**** him. I don't think we would've won the Super Bowl with him, hell I don't think we would've gotten the 1 seed if Peyton didn't go in that game. In John We Trust... Find us the next guy John.

Why should he be loyal to the Broncos? They paid him $1M a year and made him play out his contract.

Then they desperately increased their offer to him, repeatedly in the last day. Then the predictable happened. Some other team offered $7M more money and he took it.

So would you. $7M is $7M. That ain't chump change. He's getting $18M a year.

That's the #13th highest paid QB in football. He's getting more than Andrew Luck, Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers, Andy Dalton, Eli Manning, Carson Palmer, Tony Romo, and about equal to Jay Cutler!

Seriously, he's started 7 games and is getting paid more than QBs who have won 6 Super Bowls between them. Guys who have played in the league for 10 years, won multiple playoff games.

Of course he took the money. He'd be totally insane not to.

I don't think Denver beats SD with him.

Overall, the offense was about the same with him as with Manning in regards to passing. He made passes that Manning couldn't make, but about the same amount of drives ended in 3 and outs or no points. The big difference was the revitalization of the run game. But his numbers went down by the quarter in most games. I really think that Denver can match his production with a stop-gap and maybe even Simien.

What Osweiler is worth depends on how he does. If he turns into a top 10 QB then it's a steal. If he stays mediocre, they still probably win their division, so it's worth it. If he fails (unlikely) then it's not worth it.

There's no such thing as intrinsic "worth". They think they didn't have a QB and now they do. We'll see.

Right now they just paid a guy upwards of 18 million to be their starting QB. Brock hasn't really done a lot. They're paying him on potential, out of desperation. Even if it works out it still isn't the smartest move.

If you can bring in RG3 at a cheaper price, you will know that: RG3 has played more than 7 games in the NFL, has taken his team to the playoffs in a offense similar to ours, and has the potential to do it again if he can remain healthy.

What we don't know about RG3 is the state of his health, and where his head is at. Both huge concerns. But if we look back at the QB play of our team last year, it was damn near abysmal at times. Half the time I thought you could literally plug in any QB to run this team and we wouldn't be worse off.

I'm going to remain optimistic here, and if we do sign RG3, I'll be optimistic. He needs to be coached better than he was in Washington.

It was just a situation that Denver felt like they couldn't compete with other offers. I don't think, because of the state of the team, that you mortgage the next few years of arguably your biggest position by paying that much money to someone you felt wasn't worth it.

dread, i love ya, bud! however, i suspect that what you want and what JFE wants may not be the same, if you're dead set on having a guy who can't move at all. . . besides, somebody has to be the stopgap-- i certainly don't think we'll have the opportunity to draft a guy who is ready to start day one. . . and there is no way john's going to just fold on his title defense. . . also, if you think fitzpatrick isn't a horrible bonehead in his own right, you haven't watched him much. . . he's a BIG fan of the old plummer "huck it up for grabs rather than take a sack" move. . . i do think orton is available, though. . . bringing him back would almost be worth it, just to see chazzy swallow his own tongue in rage. . .

I watched all 16 Jets games, Dog. Yes, I know Fitz has brain-dead moments. And, you're reading me wrong if you think I want the second coming of Craig Morton operating with our O-line. Some mobility is a must. So is the ability to operate from under center, read a defense - and I mean the whole defense, not just half the field - and to provide leadership.

I think Kaep's history shows he is a certifiable bonehead. He has also had recent (increasing) failure, and it seems to have gotten into his head. I think RGIII's history with Washington shows he couldn't lead a two man drunk. Whatever the exact opposite of leadership ability is, that is what he has. Throw in that he is small and brittle...Good Lord, no.

Last year Elway didn't even see Brock play a legitimate NFL game, so what was he going to offer? I don't blame Elway in the slightest for not offering Brock a new contract. Had no clue of Manning's future, had no clue of the FA market if Brock decided to walk, etc. Too many IF's.

You just made my point. LAST year before he had a single NFL start he's only worth backup QB money - $5-$6M a year, no more.

And if Peyton played this entire year and stayed healthy? Brock would never have gotten on the field. So, he'd STILL be worth $5-$6M a year. Maybe $12M guaranteed.

It was when he started 7 games that his value shot up.

But, Elway should have locked him up LAST year and then they'd be paying him $6M this year, and they'd be able to see what he's worth at the end of it, BEFORE making a big commitment to him.

The screw up was in letting him become a FA in the first place, then wildly overbidding in a desperate attempt to keep Brock, then failing miserably.

I'm not sure he is the answer. I liked his poise and delivery in the preseason. He may need more time, but I liked more in his first preseason than I did out of any of Brock's preseasons. It may not pan out, but I still thought he had a higher upside than Brock after seeing him play a little.

If you can bring in RG3 at a cheaper price, you will know that: RG3 has played more than 7 games in the NFL, has taken his team to the playoffs in a offense similar to ours, and has the potential to do it again if he can remain healthy.

What we don't know about RG3 is the state of his health, and where his head is at. Both huge concerns. But if we look back at the QB play of our team last year, it was damn near abysmal at times. Half the time I thought you could literally plug in any QB to run this team and we wouldn't be worse off.

I'm going to remain optimistic here, and if we do sign RG3, I'll be optimistic. He needs to be coached better than he was in Washington.

We know his attitude sucks ass, and we know he can't read a defense. We know he's not good, and we know that he won't take responsibility for his poor play and blame the players around him. You forgot those things.

Manning's don't just hit FA though. That was once in lifetime opportunity.

Let's actually be realistic and look at the teams that have lost HoF QBs and see their history afterwards. LOOK where we were headed had we NOT gotten absolutely, incredibly, and amazingly lucky with Manning. We would have had Tebow as our QB.

So lets just realize that we are going to havee some LEAN years behind center for a while.

We had a LEAN year last year behind center, and that's when we actually won the SB. It wasn't when Peyton Manning was playing like a kid on Madden '16 on easy mode.

Elway's objective was to keep the defense intact right? We lost Malik, and Trevathan and probably Bruton. We took a hit, but nothing he can't repair. As long as the core of this defense is intact we'll be fine.

Kaepernick has a pretty low turnover margin for most of his career. RG3 might need to grow up, but people can change. The injury history is a very fair point, but then again, you wouldn't be paying him a ton of money.

A lot of chatter that Brock is still pissed he was benched. I Still do no think SD game was his fault for all TO. Nobody was helping him out. That move probably ruined it for him. Offense was better with him there. Manning provided a spark in that SD.

I agree it seems Brock wasn't so enamored with Denver and I can see why but that move may have saved the season.

I'll be interested to see if Brock is better next year. I hated that with that arm talent he was still terrible on deep passes, dove for safety Manning-style under pressure at 6'7" (no Roethlisberger impression there) and in general took sacks like crazy.

If he goes to Houston and starts throwing bombs to Hopkins after more starts under his belt good for him but he was hard to get excited about spending boatloads of money on.

I -really- do not want Kaepernick though. Hate him. RGIII on the cheap is intriguing.

So PFM was an $18 million a yr player comming off a so so 2014 season and had to take a pay cut. Why would Elway pay that to a guy who in 7 games looked decent at best? He did the right thing, don't let a percieved desperation make you do the wrong thing. He'll make the right move to get a stop gap QB on the way to the next HOFer. Trust the man, he has done pretty well building this team the last few years.

I don't care.

We won't repeat that without good QB play. Let's not downplay Manning's ability to read defenses and call the right plays in the Super Bowl. His protection coverage and reading alone was big. So his physical skills were weak, his mind wasn't.

We got LUCKY with Manning. I know you know this. But if Super Bowl teams were so easy to repeat without outstanding QB play, then we would see it more than we have....and we haven't.

It was just a situation that Denver felt like they couldn't compete with other offers. I don't think, because of the state of the team, that you mortgage the next few years of arguably your biggest position by paying that much money to someone you felt wasn't worth it. Things will work out here. We just won the SuperBowl with arguably the worst QB play you could possibly have.

It won't be the same, the offense was the weak link, it's gotten weaker. We won the Super Bowl...but reality is that we have just become the Buccaneers after their win too. Glad your optimistic, because I sure the hell am not. We needed to improve offensively! Well, hopefully we can find a great running game.

So would you rather take the chance with a guy that is 18-30 and pay 18 or a guy that is raw that was drafted by you in the 2nd round? I guess that's been answered..but I do think 18 would have been too high, so not really argueing with that.

but RG3 has been a strain for everyone else since.

Shanastain is a big stainer.

My point is that yeah, RG3, is a child. But he's like a lot of guys in the NFL in that he was once looked at as a stud, now he's a dud, but he's got another chance to turn it around. You might get a few nice years out of him before moving on.

That's my line of thinking. Texans are not exactly known for growing great qb's.

And O'Brien came off like a jackoff that doesn't know what to do at the QB this year.

Don't need to ruin a tight locker room with anybody who doesn't want to be here. Don't care who you are.

How many QBs can you think of that turned his kind of attitude around and changed with a different team? Seriously, I can't think of any, but I've certainly been known to miss examples before.

They just won the SuperBowl because a lot of the players they had they coached up so well that they can't afford. Perhaps we shouldn't have coached them up so well? We might not have won the SuperBowl but we would get to keep them at least.

Silk, even with the losses we'll have a Top 5 defense, but offensively we went from having a brokedown HOF quarterback , a meistro of the game with a backup who knew the offense to a team with their third stringer the only QB on the team, add the other offensive issues, butter hands, middle of the road run game and horrid o-line...yeah, be optimistic. Atop that our one signing is a lineman comparable to Brock, he got starter money but is a relative backup!

A fourth rounder for Stanton is like paying twenty bucks for Slim to be your stripper.

I disagree. Paying Slim 20$ would be a bargain and worth every penny, especially considering he already comes sans pants so you get more naked time than your average lap dance. Can't be as bad as taking a chainsaw to the vagina.

Our offense will be better regardless of who the QB is, simply because the oline will be better and so will the running game. It's why I'm not pissed about Brock. We don't even know if he could have been The QB. On the flip side, if you don't think it will be better because of everything you stated, than big deal, because Brock Osweiler wasn't going to make it better.

With the contract he got in choosing the Honda, he can now go out and buy a Lambo.

I think we go cheap and sign Drew Stanton to compete with Trevor.

Can't. He is a Cardinal.

Also comp picks are tradable next year.

Where are you hearing this? Bradford got a signing bonus - the Eagles would be on the hook for a lot of money, even if they wanted to trade him
