Thread: Broncos impressed after interviewing QBs Brandon Weeden, Brock Osweiler

He'll be 29 by the time the season starts. He's also got injury concerns. I just can't see using a hig pick on him. But he's more NFL ready than anyone but Luck so he'll go relatively early

weeden better be ready to play on day 1. His old azz doesn't have time to learn and if he goes in there and fails in year one teams aren't going to "wait" for him to develop. By he time he did he'd be 49 years old

Wouldnt be surprised if Weeden is drafted in the second by Denver.

Elway cant help but love that cannon on Weedens shoulder.


But Russell Wilson is the QB for us imo.

How so?

Because he's a Boise Bronco, I've noticed a love fest with that team over the years. How many want us to draft Doug Martin? Which makes a hell of a lot more sense then Kellen Moore, who was far from impressive at the combine. But you'll see people pimping Boise State produced athletes.

He was talking about Russel Wilson, Lancane, not Kellen Moore.


Wouldn't mind either Moore or Martin, though.

A 6-7 QB with a little mobility gets my attention, l just don't see the arm strength and arm talent some do.......

Osweiler has a very deliberate, quick-twitched setup which he employs on a consistent basis. His athletic ability allows him to play the position naturally and with ease. He slings the ball naturally, as well, and even though he pats the ball before throwing, his release is so compact and effective he isn't hindered by this habit in the slightest.

- Per the NFL Experts at the Combine.

And from the same experts -

Osweiler's shining asset is his arm strength; he can hit nearly any NFL-caliber throw at this point in his career. He is a good leader and looks in control in the huddle and on the field. He is above average from an accuracy standpoint, and he really has a good grasp on when to add touch to the ball or to zip it. He has the pocket presence of a first-day pick and doesn't go down easily. He is good to extend plays with his feet.

Oh, my bad.

Martin is the only Boise State product I wouldn't mind seeing come to Denver.

I like Kellen's accuracy but i would be worried that he would get his hymen broke.

Don't understand the obsession with Brock AT ALL. Played in a very weak conference, didn't perform against the better teams, not a great athlete...

Weeden is at least ready to start from day 1 and has a cannon. Lindley would be another guy with upside. Keenum would come late in the draft and would be somewhat ready to start and is athletic. Even a guy like Russell Wilson would be an ideal backup for Tebow.

There are options out there - no need for Denver to spend a vital early draft pick on a QB. Especially a QB who is going to suck and offer virtually no help to this team.

Funny you would hammer Brock because of a weak conference, etc but then glorify Keenum who played in a softer conference and the one quality opponent he played he got his ass handed to him.

Not only that, but Osweiller is a monster athlete. He had a full ride to Gonzaga to play basketball, and turned it down to play football.
All i have ever read and saw is hes an exceptional athlete.
Osweiller has close ties to the Elway family through Elways son, and the Ericksson/Elway connection.
I have no doubt as i have said for months now along with Lancane that Osweiller is on DENs board.

Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona State
Height: 6-8. Weight: 240.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2012): 4-5.
1/9/12: Osweiler is big-armed pocket passer who has surprising mobility. The former basketball player has good athletic ability for being so tall. Looking at him, one would think he would be a statue in the pocket, but that is definitely not the case. As a junior this year, Osweiler completed 63 percent of his passes for 4,036 yards with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He also ran for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Osweiler set the school record for yards, completions and attempts. In 2010, he had only two starts, but played well throwing for 797 yards and five touchdowns with zero interceptions. He also ran for 168 yards and a score.

Osweiler has real arm strength and the gun to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. He is very raw and needs some work. If Osweiler goes to a good coaching staff that can develop him for a few years, he could turn into something. It wouldn't be surprising if Osweiler's stock rises during the lead up to the draft. He should have stayed in school and improved before going pro.

This is EXACTLY the kind of QB i want DEN to draft.
NOT ready for any kind of playing time, but will be developed behind TT, giving Tim every opportunity to shine.
And if TT does not work out, so be it, DEN has a QB that they have drafted, developed and knows the system.
Along with a vet like Brunell or Delhomme DEN will be set at QB going forward.

Osweiler sounds a little like Dan McGuire...perhaps he'll be better.

we are not taking a QB before round 3...My guess says we take a flier on a round 4-6 type.




I dont understand why people dont like weeden because he is old.


Would you guys take peyton manning, drew brees right now? They are old. Yes, they are proven and he is not, but he is not going to command a high pick. He is going to fall because of his age and if you can get a drew brees for 5 years for a 5th round pick- would you take it?

I would.
