Brock Osweiler in for a look

I know what we have to do, I promise you I do. It's Brock Osweiler that is all.

It get it, but just trying to be practical about the whole thing. The choices are pretty limited at this point, and I'd be reluctant to trade anything of significance for someone else's backup who would need to learn our system, and would not be a long term solution.

I won't argue that Osweiler is has done anything deserving of optimism to this point. The best that can be said is that at one point, three or four years ago, he was relatively well thought of and at least two teams (Denver and Houston) were prepared to give him a mega-contract. Looks like he played ok for Miami last year in limited duty too. So you might do worse as a backup, that's all I'm saying. Every once in a while one of these type of guys suddenly finds his footing and plays way better than expected.

As mentioned this is for two games as a back up.

Its a worst case scenario.

He is better than Phillip Walker, waste of roster space even at 90 men.

Pretty sure this will irritate people, but I just took a look at Jim Harbaugh's stats before he came to Indy and they don't look all that much better than Osweiler's, with the notable exception that Jim was a couple years older and had a more pronounced period of mediocrity before joining the Colts:

Harbaugh:

Osweiler:

Jim was a much better leader, certainly, but again, I think we could do worse as a backup than Osweiler

Lets give Tebow a look too. Surely he's not still playing baseball?

The numbers he put up this year in Triple A aren't good enough for a long career on the diamond.

It's a good move because of the position we have been put in by Luck retiring 15 days before the season starts. Sucks but what can you do.

You can- not bring Brock Osweiler onto your campus, that's one thing you can do!


Shame on you for saying it is a good move. Kyle Orton has his head in his hands in disgust.


As for the comparison between him and Harbaugh, I know Jim Harbaugh, and Brock Osweiler, you are no Jim Harbaugh, or Jim Sorgi, or Jim Everett for that matter.

Can someone get Billy Volek on the red line please? Thanks!

Who would you suggest Ballard go after.
