Thread: Brock Osweiler says he should start for Browns because ‘the proof is in the film’

The Cleveland Browns made the boldest move of the offseason when they traded for Brock Osweiler and a second-round pick, essentially eating the remainder of his salary in return. After a disastrous season in Houston, the Texans were desperate to dump their free-agent mistake, and the Browns, needing a quarterback and having plenty of cap space, were the perfect landing spot.

Osweiler joins Cody Kessler and DeShone Kizer in an open competition for the starting job, but his 2016 film makes him a longshot to rise up the depth chart. He was asked about possibly being the starter Wednesday and did his best to make his case.

Reporter: Are you good enough to be a starting quarterback in this league?

Osweiler: Absolutely. Absolutely.

Reporter: Why?

Osweiler: I think the proof is in the film for the past two years.

OBVIOUSLY, he has not watched ANY of his film for the past two years!!!!!!!

So, "the proof is in the film"?

Indeed...

That reporter is truly an *******.

I think he will do better for browns that texans. Texans have a crappy offensive system. Basically QB and WR have to be on identical page since WR can change route and do anything. Hard for new QB and WR to be on same page and timing in playbook let alone your WR1 keep changing his route.

Was that Dmac doing the interview?

Ehh, I like Brent.

Because he asked pointed questions about performance?

I feel like the hostility towards him is totally misplaced around here... But there was nothing wrong with that line of questioning from the reporter. Tough but fair.

What is Brock supposed to say? "He'll no I shouldn't start, I suck. Have you seen me play?"

He was trying to get him to assess his play and whether he feels like he'll need to improve in order to be the starter... Brock was fairly defiant - he could have said "No doubt I need to improve." But he didn't. It was revealing.

You guys sound like a bunch of delicate snowflakes.

Not sure how I sound delicate. All I'm saying is that when any NFL QB is asked if he should be a starter the short answer should always be "yes".

Well you all high fived NTL's post that said the reporter did something wrong. He didn't. Brock is still his defiant self that alienated him from the Houston staff.

He was being handed the keys to the Broncos kingdom, and refused.

He's dead to me. DEAD!

No, because he was being an *******. The two can coexist.

Isn't that essentially what he said though?

I have a hard time squaring this against the media critique going on in P&R. Guy was just doing his job. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
