Broncos’ Brock Osweiler: Will start Week 11

“But if it hurts, it’s better to step aside and get healthy for the back part of the season”.

The Broncos say Manning’s total focus will be on rehabilitation this week. I believe in Peyton Manning this Peyton Manning and he will succeed because he is a leader and not a quitter! Manning is also dealing with a rib injury and Pro Football Talk reports that Manning had an MRI on Monday to see how serious the injury is.

Kubiak didn’t replace Manning until late in the third quarter after Manning had been picked off four times, completed just 5 of 20 passes for 35 yards and posted a career-worst 0.0 passer rating. “I will try to take advantage of this week and try to get to feeling better and getting healthy”. Osweiler is a big question mark and Kubiak doesn’t really know what he will get out of the young QB, but in this case, the unknown is a better option than the known.

The Broncos will enter Sunday’s game against the Bears with the 28th-ranked offense in the league, ranking 18th in passing and 29th in rushing.

And I’m not talking about the Blanda who came into the American Football League as a 33-year-old quarterback and led the Houston Oilers to the first AFC title in 1960.

Osweiler needs to exploit the weaknesses of the Bears secondary as they don’t cause a lot of turnovers and have just five interceptions on the year.

Manning’s backup, Brock Osweiler, will get more chances to prove he can play. “I think that hell do a tremendous job leading this team, being a leader and taking over until Peyton is able to come back.”. I know Brock has been an absolute true professional throughout this season in the way he carries himself. “So, I think it’s a combination of things, and with that didn’t come all the normal preparation, but, you know, he was doing everything he could do to play for his football team”.

There was never any shame in sitting behind Manning. Blake Bortles has thrown at least two TD passes in seven of nine games this season. That year, he operated Adam Gase’s no-huddle, call-it-at-the-line, fast-tempo, four-receiver (counting tight end Julius Thomas) offense. The inside “backers are this team’s top two tacklers, Exhibits “A” and ‘B” in how Fox’s staffs coach-up relative castoffs. Against the Chiefs, the same supporting cast problems that piled on to Manning’s struggles – pass protection, dropped passes, an ineffective running game – can compound on Osweiler’s inexperience.

It was easily the most depressing week of the season for me and those around the country that pretty much would take any team but the New England Patriots winning another Super Bowl. He’s a class guy. Much like the RG3 situation the Redskins dealt with last summer, the Broncos can use Peyton’s injuries as cover for the benching him.

But for this week, anyway, it is Osweiler who will command the quarterback’s meeting room. Chicago defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will be a tough draw for Osweiler, as well, even with limited talent across his defense. Or do you let him finish it out, with the hope that his healed wounds restore whatever had been lost in his game? “I’m not going to put the weight of the world on that”, Osweiler said. Fans and media (especially nationally) absolutely love to make excuses for Peyton when he plays poorly, and it’s been a litany of injuries in the past year – injuries to everything BUT his arm.

Now, the 6-foot-8 quarterback gets his chance to stand tall. “No, he wasn’t. I’ll go to battle with Brock any day”.
