Thread: Adam Weber vying to back up Peyton Manning at QB

There has been a lot of talk in Denver this offseason about second-round pick Brock Osweiler learning from Peyton Manning as the Denver Broncos "quarterback of the future." Former Bear Caleb Hanie is seen as Denver's backup quarterback of the present.

The Denver Post points out a small fact that shouldn't be ignored. Adam Weber is ahead of both Osweiler and Hanie on the depth chart. Really.

Let's let's cut to the chase... Release Hanie now!

I hear Osweiler looks like the fourth string QB out there.

Weber has a year up in this offense and has had 50 starts in college compared to Oz's 15 starts. So that's to be expected for Oz at this point. Hanie.... might have been forever ruined by Mad Martz.

where is the wild indignation at the suggestion that OS is in fact the worst QB in camp ! I was villified when I suggested he wasnt even going to be the number 2 guy !

peyton goes down week 4 you guys all still think JE is going to stand pat with WEBER ?

You were vilified for all of the ignorant shit you were saying, not because you suggested Osweiler wasn't going to be the number two guy

Does it really matter? Do you honestly believe if Peyton goes down, there is a legitimate option at QB that can carry this team?

I've heard reports that Oz has looked solid in practice and his new throwing motion looks much improved from in college. I'm very weary of trusting national media reports over local ones. The national guys will come in for one day and may not necessarily have the best perception of what's really going on day after day.

I agree. Peyton is the offense. You take him out of the equation there is no identity with the combo of McCoy/FOX/insert QB here

Manning has literally the exact same chance of suffering an injury as any other QB in the NFL. To suggest otherwise shows a huge lack of knowledge of his neck injury. It wasn't caused by a hit and cannot be aggravated by one.

Os will be fine. He's a project with a ton of upside. Stupid to throw out any concerns because he isn't backup QB material 4 weeks into OTA's of his rookie season.

I didnt say a word about his neck! I am more concerned about his legs from the knee down ! If he goes down, who is his back-up? sure as hell aint the 'future' os !
