And What would be the alternative? Brock if anything has at least shown some signs of potential.That's a lot of money for a pretty unproven QB. The right amount of years, but too much money.
I know that guarantees play a big factor in these deals but if Osweiler is worth 3 yrs/$45m, then Fitzpatrick has to be 2 yrs/$40m
Manning swoops in and signs the contract himself.
Agreed. But not because he couldn't get more or because there's a lot of funny money being thrown around. It's $45m (forget the guarantee, he'd likely see all $45m of it unless he totally sucks) and the best situation amongst the available QB starting jobs in the league. If he doesn't LIKE being in Denver then I'd take that offer to Houston and see what they think, but he'd be silly to walk away from what looks like a pretty good situation comparatively.brock would be a fool to pass that up.
If you were looking for one season...maaaaaybe. Certainly not if you had 4 years grooming one guy and that guy was, oh also btw, 8 years younger than the other. Osweiler might end up breaking your heart after flashes of brilliance and costing your team the playoffs in the end - but you KNOW Fitzy will. He's alright though, always liked him.If I was a GM looking for a QB and was presented with those two as a choice, I'd take Fitzpatrick over Osweiler without a moment's hesitation.
Dude, Sam freaking Bradford is making $18 million a year. If I'm Osweiler I want at least that much.

I know it's fun to **** on other teams QBs because ours is so awesome AND doesn't ask for a bunch of money but sometimes the comments on other teams QBs are just way out of line with the reality of the NFL for most of the other 31 teams.
Well he has played for 4 different teams the past 4 years, why not make it 5. Clearly he's got the stuff people want to keep around.I'd personally ride with Fitpatrick for 2-3 years whilst looking for his long-term replacement. I saw very little out of Osweiler that suggests he's going to be anything more than an average QB. If that.
