QB Osweiler to sign with Texans

[Iceman]

At that price, I bet Elway personally flew Brock to Houston.

Holy overspend, Batman!

Agree 100% on being overpaid! There aren't exactly tons of elite QB's lying around, so Houston is willing to take the chance, obviously. Wonder how much of that is guaranteed?

Too early to say, IMO. Houston is now in great position to select Ohio St RB with their 1st pick if he is still on the board. That would be an instant upgraded backfield to go with their D which took them single handedly to the playoffs last year.

How often does one get the chance to get a decent BIG QB who has learned everything possible from Peyton Manning? If this is a gamble, it is a good one. I would have taken that bet anytime over drafting a QB and hoping he turns into something in a few years. The Texans time is now. If the draft falls in line for them, I wouldn't count them out of making a good S.B run over the next few years.

By the way, I still hate them ...... Texas and everything about Texas. In the following order:
1. Their fat loud mouth arrogant people
2. Their fat arrogant mosquitoes
3. The Cowboys
4. The Spurs
5. The puke orange colors of the Longhorns
6. Their brown tornado driven humid State
7. The Pledge of Texas they make all school kids stand and recite daily
8. Their inbred closet ridden homophobic pervs .... and I am not kidding
9. The fact that I was born there
10. The distance one has to drive to leave Texas and the ugly scenery along the way

Pawnee Indian on the war path!

This is one of the greatest posts I've seen in a while.

Brock must've been pissed at the Broncos for benching him for the play-offs, lol.

Doubt he's worth that much money but, if they offer it to you ...

 

[Russ Smith]

Allegedly one of the rumors in Denver is they are trying to get Matt Ryan from the Falcons. it's I guess dependent on the Falcons being able to draft whichever QB they want in the first round.

I assume that means if they have to move up they'd have some deal in place with Denver to get their first round pick, add it to the 17th pick, and move up enough to get whichever QB it is they were allegedly targeting.

A friend of mine lives there now and said that rumor has been on Denver tv for a couple of days now.

$37 mil.

Andrew Luck is salivating right about now.

Texans just signed him, IMHO.

Until Brock's career gets derailed by a tarp, this is not a fair comparison.

I think all 3 sides won in this deal...

I'm not a big Osweiler guy, I think his arm is underwhelming for someone with that frame but the Texans needed stability at QB and he'll have a chip on his shoulder.

Denver won the SB with a glorified game manager and they just can't afford what Brock got. I think Bradford would've lit it up in that offense.

 

[Phrazbit]

New system, way worse players around him, lesser coaching staff, and the guy who preceded him on the team put up better numbers with way worse talent than Brock had in Denver.

I think if he wasn't an ASU guy most of you would find this signing comical.

I don't know how you can say that when Houston MADE THE PLAYOFFS with Brian Hoyer as the quarterback. The Texans coaching staff isn't sexy, but they make it work.

Houston also reportedly signed Lamar Miller from the Fins and have a good offensive line that suffered injuries.

I think we should hold fire on this deal until we see what the structure of the contract is. There are now two tiers of veteran QB contracts: The Dalton tier and the Roethlisberger tier.

 

[Southpaw]

Christian Hackenburg just pooed his pants. Hard to believe Elway didn't orchestrate this and has a plan in place.

you forgot Bucky.........

Yeah SBF shouldn't put me & Jerstream in that category. Texas is an awesome state other than that damn star in Arlington.

You mean the 19th-ranked running game by DVOA? Sounds good!

It is a loss to get nothing for a guy you've developed for four seasons just when you're ready to have him take over the reins. It might not be catastrophic, but this was also a team who went from 12-4 to 6-10 when they replaced John Elway with Bubby Brister.

I don't know whether Osweiler's loss will be catastrophic, but he's an upgrade over Brian Hoyer for a team that ALSO wants to win with defense and the running game.

I'm intrigued by Kaepernick in that offense; Bob Griffin does nothing for me.

The team also suffered significant injuries on the o-line, and when it was discovered that Manning's arm was toast, and Osweiler played, teams crowded the box and more or less marginalized the run game. The fact remain that because the team ranked 28th in passing TDs last season, where else are you gonna turn for points? I guess McManus can kick 5 FG/game in mile high country...

The Broncos already experienced the transition with Manning's decline in production. Yeah, it sucks for them that Osweiler didn't develop how they wish he would have, but part of that was on Brock. No, the loss wont be as catastrophic as long as they retain key players on their defense, which it looks like they have, and Wade Phillips remains on the staff. I do agree that Kaep might look good in that offense.

 

[Russ Smith]

I don't think you want Kaepernick in Denver.

Just saying.

 

[jmt]

Good for Brock, but we all know what great success Houston has developing QBs. Ha-ha I say!

They made the playoffs because of the god-awful division they played in, so let's not pretend they earned that spot. They were atrocious in their home playoff game. This is insane money for a guy that's started 7 games, and they were pretty mediocre games while having a ridiculously good defense.

Hey the Snake took off in the mile high city

 

[TJ]

I wonder if I sent the Jets a video of me throwing passes to my family on Thanksgiving that they'd give me a 2 year/$24 mil contract.

I mean, if average QBs are getting big money, I should be able to cash in too, right?

Last I looked he does not suffer concussions or hunt wild javelinas but his actual skill set when playing is rather similar... wonder if he can dance backwards from the pocket

Tim Tebow anyone?

A team just paid an ENORMOUS amount of money for a QB who has played a total of 7 games, in an offense that was made for him.

Who is running the ball for him in Houston, like they did in Denver? What is going to happen when teams get tape on him? What exactly has he done that shows he can play in the NFL at a starting caliber level ?

Just sayin'. Looks like the same story the Cardinals had going. Needed a QB and gave up a lot of talent, time and money based on a few starts.

Go shop your services elsewhere Logan. On tape your leading receiver was the Coors light vendor. Lol
