I'd take Sam Bradford

Osweiler is a stiff.

And I don't think Bradford is any good, but he's better than Osweiler

We don't know what Osweilers upside is.

We know Bradford's.

I just hope that other teams drive up the cost so much and the Broncos are so desperate to keep him that they over pay and ruin their cap space!

Exactly, I'd take Brock N' Roll. Bradford is awful.

Bradford's downside has always been that he's frail. When healthy, which is never, he can sling it. He did it against the Patriots, for instance. Osweiler's play though was the total opposite of what Bradford can give you. Osweiler was slow. He was getting killed back there. Yeah, he's tougher than Bradford. But he was also working with Emanuel Sanders, Demaryious Thomas and others.

14 for 24 for 120 yards is slinging it?

I mean pretty much every other game aside from the jests and panthers games would be a better example of him "slinging it" than the Pats game.

If I'm Brock I test the open market. I bet someone else would offer more and he could get more $ from Denver.

maybe same money but longer contract

I think he can do it. I thought he looked good when he played. But I would insulate myself on both sides, give it an opt out after this year. If he tears it up he'll hold out anyway. If he sucks they aren't going to honor this deal after the 2016 season ends.

Hoyer stats were way better yes he **** the bed in the playoff game but so did Osweiler in the last game vs san deigo i think BOB would be crazy to offer big money to Osweiler

I don't think Bradford sees the field all particularly well. Never has, really.

He beat the Pats. Statistics be damned. That's enough for a huge contract. Same with Bradford. Future Hall of Famers both of them.

I think that offer for Oz is as high as its gonna get. Any more and the fax will break again.

Personally, I'm a bit surprised it's as high as it is--at least with such a limited sample size.

I suppose they had to go up to 15m per year to try and compete with QB needy teams who are willing to overpay, but there's obviously some risk in there with that kind of a deal. Perhaps they feel as though he knows the offense well enough to be a bit of a game manager with that solid defense?

I know they say " it's a quarterbacks league" and all, but these guys ( Bradford and Osweiler) barely qualify as quarterbacks

It looks as though Osweiller and his agent have the Donkeys by the short hairs. Their choices for QB are PEDton (HAHAHAHAHA), Osweiller and the rookie Siemian, who has thrown 1 pass for -1 yard in an NFL game.

It would be hillarious if some QB needy team, Browns anyone poached him from Denver I hope against hope I wish against wish.

Maybe he still feels salty about being benched for Good ol Peyton when Brock should of been the starter.
However its a great situation for him so I dont see him leaving but LA I hope makes a huge push for him and he can pick the beaches of LA vs the mountains of Denver.
It would be hysterical to see the Broncos trade and entire draft for a QB or march out RG 3.

If I'm Osweiller, I don't sign for 3/$45M unless at least $20M - $25M is guaranteed. Otherwise, if he does well, Denver's got him on a cheap contract and if he does bad they cut him and he's left with only 1/$15M.

He should sign for 1 year $15M and take his chances next year. That locks in his floor and gives him a higher ceiling if he does well.

Brock Osweiler . . 3 years and more than 45 million dollars . . .
