Thread: Denver needs a QB...

Hey all, I wish I knew how to create a poll, but I do not so here is my question.

I think this was mentioned in another thread so I hope I bring a different context to it.

We know there are no guarantees for Brock Osweiller to return. The word is that he will likely be offered between $16-$19 million a year. Whether he deserves that much or not, I do not know.

The question was asked earlier, "What about RGIII". I was totally against it at the time, but in retrospect, after seeing how Brock did so-so in Kubes' offense, I wonder how well RGIII could do in this offense.

Considering all of RGIII's talents, I do believe that if there was a locker room that could correct RGIII's personality woes (kind of like Cam's, but not nearly as deviant & narcissistic (definitly narcissistic though)), I think it is our locker room. Especially with DeMarcus Ware sticking around.

So, my question is, who would thrive more in Kubes' offense that could very well lead us to another season of contention:

Brock Osweiller
or
Robert Griffin III

GO!

Really?

I don't want RG III for free. I would prefer Kyle Orton. Brian Griese. Denver Native Carol. Good Lord No

Re-sign Osweiler.

I'd like to go with Brock and even feel good about Trevor in the mix as well.

Where in the hell are you people getting these numbers for Brock? 16-19 mil a year? No thanks.

10-12. 15 is the MAX.

Clearly, IMO.

I listen to a lot of sports talk radio. I've heard some suggest as high as he can expect or some teams may give him up to $20M a year. I don't see that as being reasonable at all.

I also heard today that RGIII will be due $16M if Wash doesn't cut or trade him before the deadline. I expect RGIII will be worth less than that if he gets cut and another team signs him. The way I see it, the ONLY teams who are sure fire in need of a QB are Cleveland and MAYBE the Texans (if they aren't committed to Hoyer). So, if he doesn't want to play in either of those places and he wants to be on a winning team, I believe we can get him cheaper than Brock (we need cap space do we not?). I like Brock, but the $$$ is a concern of mine, personally.

I like Brock and all, but I can't see this happening. Too many gun-shy GM's out there now because of other 2nd string QB's that looked great.

I hope you're right. I thought it was a stretch too. I'm pretty sure it was Adam Schefter who gave the $16-$19M ball park so that's what I went with as a possibility. I do think though, that RGIII will get less (likely a 2-3 yr deal at $10-13M tops).

Oz for no more than twelve. Or RG3.

No to RGIII.

To frail, not accurate enough. I would rather see Brock continue in the offense and see where that takes us over signing Griffin. But the reality is you have to give the QB more than 7 games to prove his worth no matter if its John Elway, Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow, or Brock Osweiler. 7 games isnt going to give you a true gauge of what that player can do.

Peyton Manning and Trevor Siemian are under contract for 2016.

Some recent contracts signed by QBs.

2 years $24.5 M with $13.8M guarenteed Foles

6 year $96 million $15M Dalton

4 year $87 M with $61M guarenteed Wilson

5 year $103.8M with $61M guarenteed Newton

Wilson and Newton have base salaries of $13 M. Dalton and Foles have $10M.

I see Oz getting a 2-3 year between Foles and dalton contract
