Brock Osweiler (1 Viewer)

beer is good
no idea how he'll do, but i believe there's some good upside there for a guy who's probably on the waiver wire in the vast majority of leagues.

Time to stash Brock:
DEN - Could QB Manning Exit Early?
Summary: Peyton Manning will start today. The league will stop the game after he gets his passing record. He is dealing with a couple of injuries though. It's pure speculation but ESPN's Chris Mortensen referenced Manning's injuries this morning and said, "If he struggles, don’t be surprised if Brock Osweiler starts warming up." This would be especially true if Denver gets out to an early lead. Dynasty owners are salivating today.

Is there a Peyton Manning owner anywhere that lacks a better choice?

Osweiler is a free agent after the year, not sure "salivating" is the right word. No guarantees he'll be the Denver starter, or anyone else's for that matter. Especially with so little game experience.

As a Peyton/Osweiler owner in one league I am hardly salivating. I acquired him this season more as a handcuff for this year than for the post-Peyton era. Brock's value in 2016 is a crapshoot. I think it is just as likely that Elway goes with another established vet or has an open competition for QB even if Brock resigns. I have no confidence he is a player I can count on as my starting QB and if trading wasn't closed in that league I would be trying to work some deal.
I see from the prior post Os in now in. Maybe we can get some idea of what he can do.

His footwork is horrendous. He's trying to get out of his own way and he's not good at it.

Maybe but he's got 2 TD drives and a bunch of scrambling yds. He keeps plays alive. Peyton goes into the fetal position.

This wasn't the best situation to really assess what oz will do when he gets the full time gig.Doctor Detroit said:Yeah, against prevent D.mr roboto said:Maybe but he's got 2 TD drives and a bunch of scrambling yds. He keeps plays alive. Peyton goes into the fetal position.Doctor Detroit said:

Drooling puddles. With DT, Sanders, Vernon Davis, Latimer - all Osweiler has to be is competent and he's a top 10 candidate. And we got him virtually free. I picked him up during final cuts for a $1 FAAB min bid. He might not turn out to be competent, that remains to be seen, but this is a potential windfall. I guess if you had Manning and he was your emergency handcuff that's not so exciting, but those that sat on him hoping for something are pretty darn stoked right about now.

Not 100% on board with the prevent defense comment. It was still the 3rd QTR when Osweiler took over, no?This wasn't the best situation to really assess what oz will do when he gets the full time gig.Doctor Detroit said:Yeah, against prevent D.mr roboto said:Maybe but he's got 2 TD drives and a bunch of scrambling yds.

Granted, the dogs were probably not hunting as hard, but there was too much game left to simply allow Denver to march down and score every time they touched it.

So how much is he worth in terms of FAAB?
FUBAR

My comment has more to do with the original game plan being presumably keyed to Peyton and not Oz's strength. While Oz is not Cam Newton, he's very different from Peyton. plus how much time do we think he had in practice with the receivers?Not 100% on board with the prevent defense comment.

I'm keeping my expectations tempered for next week but I hope he shows enough to convince Elway to give him a contract and chance to start next year.

Instead of "salivating" about him playing, should the people who own him in dynasty leagues be looking to move him BEFORE he starts any games?
My thought is it could be a "sell high" situation now, before he (possibly) shows he's "just another guy".
Yes, I realize the opposite could happen but I just don't see that in him.

while it's true that the KC defense didn't game-plan for Brock, it's also true that the Broncos didn't either. I believe that Brock is a much better fit for the pure Kubiak offense, and Kubes can now scrap that Manning/hybrid stuff they have been running lately.FUBAR said:My comment has more to do with the original game plan being presumably keyed to Peyton and not Oz's strength.

it's also true that this is the first week in his career that Brock will get all of the starter reps.

Good question.
Fwiw, he's my 3rd qb behind cam and Mariotta. I'll certainly trade him if the right offer comes. But then, our deadline is this week (presume many leagues have the same deadline) so it's very possible I don't get the chance to get decent value until the off season.

Maybe Latimer can sniff respectability now that Brock is in. They have shown some chemistry in the pre-season.
Admittedly, it was merely the pre-season.

Might be on to something
If healthy you'd expect to see Sanders & DT eat up most of the targets, but backups often trust the guy they've worked with the most (e.g, another backup)

I have so much confident in Brock that I picked up Trevor Siemian.

maybe. but i'd rather take my chances on him than someone like Manziel.

He's an unknown right now, but he's had plenty of time to learn the trade and has great WRs so it will be very interesting to see how he does.

Was watching him all season, but didn't pick him up (16-team league with roster limits on QBs, so it's hard to stockpile). Wanted to grab him late and waited a week too long.Snagged him dynasty.
(D.Thomas owner to boot)
There is a reason Elway snagged him in the second round. I trust that more than anything else I've read/seen.

I've had him on my dynasty team since his rookie year. OK curtain puller, it's your turn to shine !

Me too. So nervous.
This made me doubt the Broncos faith in Brock.

I would be pretty damn happy if he came through with 200 yards and a TD against the Bears.
