I think despite everything that stopped us winning the game last night that we give some credit to Osweiler. No matter what the refs did to help them the guy made big time throws against our corners that up until that point were playing incredible all night that and they were throws Peyton Manning could not make.

He actually demonstrated being very calm and collected in big moments which is something you cannot say about #18.

It's funny because i was actually gutted that Manning wasn't in the game last night because i can say with 95% certainty that despite everything that went against the Pats last night, Peyton would have found a way to throw the game away because it's his trademark whereas to his credit Osweiler did not.

So i think we should be fair in context plus the guy is actually more likeable than the stat padder too so i look forward to the Jimmy G v Brock matchups down the line at the some point (when Garropolo is about 30 and Brady decides to call it a day ;)).
 
He went to Arizona State and looks like a frat boy. I look forward to our team making his life miserable in January.
 
No Respect from me he was aided by BS Flags!:mad:
True but like i said if i try to look past it and see some of his late throws, then undeniably he is better than Manning at this point and i hope to their detriment that they put Peyton back in.

Same but as opposed to when we play Peyton i won't be praying for him to be drilled into the turf and knocked out the game.
 
I thought he was mediocre at best not even average like Sanchez back in the day. Completed two nice deep balls after the patriots were deflated post gronk injury and being screwed all quarter. looks like a classic 2 year starter who is relegated to back up duty after.
 
I'll give him credit for only turning over the ball once (on a tipped pass). I don't think that he played very good overall, however. He held the ball too long when he should've thrown it away; The first sack cost his team 3 points. The last sack should've cost them the go-ahead touchdown. He was greatly aided by his running game, injuries, and crap calls.
 
You see them holding our players. Face mask on jones. That's why he had time to throw the ball. Brady threw a 50 yarder to Martin but called back because of a hold but on replay it was a perfect block to the ground. I can't give credit to someone when they take all the credit from our man.
 
His rating was like 52.5 pretty late in the game, but he did make a great throw on the bomb to Sanders. He looks like a keeper, but I've been wrong about young QBs many times.
 
Honestly I hope they play manning again because there was no way he's making those late throws yesterday.
 
the kid can take a hit, that's about as far as i want to praise him after that ****show of a ref job we saw last night
 
A passer rating around 60 despite the running game destroying our backup linebackers. I was surprised at how inaccurate he was, and I'd been hyping him up in my head up until last night.
 
He was pretty darn good for a back-up QB. He made some pretty nice throws on Denver's last drive in regulation to put Denver in a position to win the game. He took advantage of the officals calls and a muffed punt to put his team in a position to win. That's what you want your QB to do. Bottom line, he had a run game to help him, we didn't.
 
He'll have my respect when he can do that against a healthy NE team. Which is incredibly unlikely to happen.

We're going to wreck him and his entire team in January.
 
I thought the kid played well even though it's a little early to jump to any conclusions about him. 4th Q comeback speaks for itself. Made some nice throws, didn't make a lot of mistakes, and showed good composure and poise. That's what you want in any young QB. Regarding the stats let's not forget Brady's stats weren't exactly all-world either when he took over for Bledsoe, not that I'm trying to compare the two.

Yeah he faced a crippled Pats defense but he still showed some of the intangibles to be a keeper. IMO
 
He looked about as good as mark Sanchez did his first year or two.

Is that a compliment? Probably not.
 
He looked okay, certainly not great. Better than Peyton that's for sure. And to Peyton's credit, he's been one of the most clutch regular season quarterbacks of all time. Lemme know when Osweiler does in the playoffs.
 
He has/had a grammatically incorrect tattoo on his bicep.
