Thread: Broncos Mailbag: Denver's QB of the future? Peyton Manning (seriously)

I really dont think we will see him leave without at least seeing him in some kind of action one way or the other. Just wouldnt make a lot of sense and the FO here doesnt really strike me as pulling a McDaniels.

It wouldn't really be "pulling a McDaniels" if Brock decides he wants to test the market instead of signing an extension. He's free to do that and there is nothing we could do about it.

Wave...come on man. What market is Brock going to test? He doesnt even have a resume yet. Do you really believe some team would offer him more money based on nothing? The only way i could see Brock checking out of Denver is if Elway and company draft a 1st round QB in the next two years.

Matt Flynn says hello.

Like I said, what if Manning goes down for a few games and Brock lights it up during them? It just took Matt Flynn one monster game to get a huge deal from another team. This isn't an unprecedented thing.

I already addressed that. Flynn at least played and started some games. Try harder.

Yea, but thats not what is being insinuated here. What was being said was that Brock would either leave or be dumped without even playing/starting a single game.

Except that's not what I'm saying. I'm giving a scenario in which it would be possible for Brock to bolt Denver before Manning leaves.

He started two games when he signed a $60 million contract.

And you never have to look further than the draft. Every one of those first round quarterbacks signs big contracts without ever doing anything. I don't see why Osweiler wouldn't have contract offers if he decided to go that route.

Someone, somewhere would pay for both Osweiler and Mallett.

I think Brock knows that presently his best chance to succeed is to study hard under Manning, hopefully impress the coaches and Elway (keep his fingers crossed no more HOF QBs become free agents) and stay with Denver. I think there will be teams prepared to take a chance on Brock, i just dont see any drive on his part to leave (unless they are talking silly money which i doubt they would be as he is so unproven)

I wasnt talking about your scenario, i was talking about the original scenario. Of course your scenario makes sense that wasnt what was being discussed.

Its different with first round QB's, always has been . No way someone is going to throw 60 mil at Brock or Ryan based off sitting on the bench. No way in hell.

I'd like to see some serious competition between Brock and Zac Dysert during spring training, training camp and pre-season.

I saw Osweiler play at ASU but maybe there was more to see ?
Elway may know more about Os than we do, Mr. Elway spent a lot of time on campus here watching him.
Os was Mr. Elway's son's roommate while Jack was here at ASU.
Os was drafted ahead of Russel Wilson, so...... ?

Zac broke all of Big Ben's school career passing attempts, completions, and yardage records at Miami (OH).

While neither QB can claim a stellar college career, Os had a better team to work with and didn't fare well.

All I'm saying is give Zac a chance to compete for back-up QB, perhaps he may surprise some of us.
Zac was a late round draft pick but so was Tom Brady.

If Zac Dysert ever becomes a pleasant surprise you trade his ass for whatever you can get.

Oz also faced better competition than Zac.
