Makes sense, Peyton clearly wore down last year due to injury so why expose him to hits for a series and half.  You know Peyton's going to be ready to go once the season starts.  Just saves a little wear and tear on his body.  Also gave them a look at Brock as a starter.  Seems like a win/win for the Broncos.

  I think there is a thought that Peyton will play the final TWO years of his deal at least..and, at that point, Brock has to go..because he has to make his decision after this year.

 But its the eternal question: Do you want to be the backup on a playoff team or start on a non playoff team?

. 

I think any QB other than Jim Sorgi would choose to be a starter with any team over being a back-up with a contender.

I would hope so....but backup behind Peyton is sweet job.

You're going to the playoffs.....you learn as much as you want to from a guy who knows as much as anybody

..and since he's rarely hurt or suspended  people believe you are better than you actually might be.....and if you ever do get in...you never have to be responsible for any losses...

None of his backups ever amounted to anything after sitting behind him

 But they never had to, is my point.  They got paid....we're on playoff teams and 'played' a good number of years.

 Curtis Painter had a fairly long career...learned from the best....before anyone knew he couldn't play.

Osweiler is entering his 4th year and I still don't know if he can play.

Meanwhile, he;s got the best seat in the house

      Bears Colts predictions

      By Two_pound · Posted

      Time for this weeks prediction. I'm 1-1 thus far. I really didn't think we could conceivably lose to a qb who had only thrown 6 career passes heading into last Sundays game, but as they say."on any given Sunday the Irsay's can lose to any inferior opponent while making a journeyman qb look like an all-pro"(I paraphrased that a little, but it is historically accurate). So, onto todays game, facing a rookie qb making just his 3rd nfl. start, 4 fewer than ours, so that really balances out. If we use the offensive game plan against the Bears that we used against the Texans and mix in some deep throws we will shut up the yapping Bears defense and win. If we use the pedestrian, bland offensive game plan we used against the Packers we will lose. I am going to flip a coin, hold on-------------the coin says we will win! So I'll go with the win today. Game time at 1 o'clock, go Colts!!!!

      It's the scheme and the personnel

      I watched a Mike Tyson documentary last night, what stood out was Tyson ALWAYS took the fight to the opponent, he NEVER sat back and waited for his opponent to attack him. Maybe Gus and the Colt defense should take note of that. Against the Texans we attacked down field, the Packer game we threw ONE pass over 50 yards(last play of the game). Disappointing thus far, but onto to the Bears.

      Where is Davis at? Also why is Grover not playing nose instead? This makes no sense to me.

      It's easy for other people to say for someone else to walk away from like $160 million guaranteed. We know your health, especially mental, is more important than money. But generation wealth & financial security for your self and family is hard to turn your back to
