Paxton must be terrible

exactly.....they apparently cant risk putting him on the field this year.......just not ready

 

Mike McCoy was Osweiler's first offensive coordinator..

.....and Brock has the same starting receivers as when he left for 'greener pastures'

If he's not broken then this is a steal for Denver and a new lease on life for Ossy. I think he's broken though.

 

Bill O'Brien is the bizarro Bill Belichik. They even have the same name lol! None of it is ever his fault just like none of Bill Belichik's success is none of of his doing. How many capable quarterbacks have been through Houston now??? I said capable not GOAT...Keenum, Ossy, Fitz, Savage, Hoyer. Am I missing any?

 

I do fear for the Colts but not because of this clown.

He looked like Tebow this preseason.

 

If he were a late rd pick, he would've been cut. Not sure if Elway's ego can swallow admitting the kid is a bust.

 

He's also injured now. They waived Kyle Sloter UDFA, who looked the best of all 3 Denver QBs (though he played mostly against 3rd stringers), to make room for Osweiler and have a vet QB as a backup in case Siemian goes down.

Most qbs coming out of college didn't play in a pro style offense in college.  He is a bust because of where he was drafted

 Hold on....Skip Bayless......Its been one year

Most don't play in their first year either...unless there's nobody else...or they're a last place team.

A few do..Most don't.

To me, if you end up starting and playing well, you werent a bust no matter where you were drafted.  You just don't know what Paxton Lynch will do in the future

He isn't a rookie.   He is a bust considering where he was drafted.   He isn't even the backup now

Not many high pick QBs out there who aren't starters by year 2 (he's not playing behind Brett Favre or some other HOFer either) and have looked as terrible as Lynch has looked so far. I don't think his flaws will improve by experience that much that he'd develop into a good QB.

A big reason why Osweiler ended up in Houston is because the Broncos didn't want to match the Texans' offer because they thought Houston was overpaying. Eighteen months later, we now know that Elway was definitely right about that, and Elway is now going to get the quarterback he originally wanted at a bargain. 

According to La Canfora, Osweiler's deal with the Broncos is for the veteran minimum of $775,000, which is good news for Denver and bad news for Cleveland.

Osweiler's contract with the Browns included a guaranteed base salary of $16 million, which means he's going to get that in 2017 no matter what. Osweiler's new deal in Denver means that the Broncos will pay him $775,000 of that $16 million and the Browns will pay the rest, which comes out to roughly $15,225,000. 

Hey, at least the Browns got a second-round pick out for that money.

Broncos lmao

 

The gift that keeps on giving...year 2 of the Super Bowl hang over is coming. Elway isn't going to be seen as a genius GM in the future with these kind of moves....

Why,  he signed a backup qb for league minimum.  Not an earth shattering deal

Or maybe he is.  He wanted to keep Osweiler, but not at the price Houston offered. Now he has him back at a fraction of the cost. :dunno:

The Vikings signed Sloter to their practice squad. He must have had a good preseason because apparently a few teams wanted to sign him. The Vikings will pay him $20k per week to be a member of the practice squad. That is about 3 times what most PS players receive.

 

Did you get to see him play? If so, what did you like about him?

I watched him NFL man and he's got potential....very raw...small college guy..make some questionable decisons

But he isn't  afraid......he isn't tentative.....good arm ....good feet and he can run some

 

Bronco fans wanted to keep him but he was never going to play for Denver....their 'project' is Chad Kelly.

Sloter got to play a lot in the pre-season and, just from what I saw..

..... If he can sit and learn a year....he's at least a backup in the NFL....at least

Yeah, I'd agree with above. He's very raw, and probably can't be counted on to be a backup this year which is why he wasn't claimed. But showed some potential too as indicated by the price Vikings paid to sign him to their PS and how many teams wanted him. Has only played QB for one year and at FCS level too.. But he has good traits, good mobility for 6'4 guy, decent arm, accuracy and showed ability to make lots of different throws that a guy like Lynch hasn't shown he can do.

 

And FWIW, there's almost 60 page thread at one Broncos forum about Sloter being cut.

Happy to hear that. What I dislike most about Sam Bradford is that he is so gunshy. Anyway, a scout wrote this about Sloter:

 

Comparing Sloter to the other 2017 quarterback prospects, I would describe him as a taller (by nearly three inches), more athletic version of Patrick Mahomes…and more like a cross between Davis Webb and Mitchell Trubisky. Throwing accuracy and character more like Webb, and the quick release, downfield accuracy and instincts of Trubisky…but far more ‘raw’ than any of the top guys, obviously.

I am still hoping that Teddy Bridgewater comes back but I look forward to seeing this guy in the future.

Thank you for posting this. Too bad we did not have him in training camp. I look forward to seeing him next training camp.

    • This is exactly why I cant stand analytics.   My idea of good is someone who actually produces results. Everyone misses tackles, because its very hard to tackle a professional athlete 1 on 1 a position hes in constantly because he plays in open space against imcredible athletes. And the more plays you are involved in, the more youll miss. By your calculations there, he couldve made over 200 tackles that season. Thats an insane number that has only been produced twice in the hostory ofnthe league.   Just the fact he was in a position to do that, is incredible. And youre essentially rewarding lesser players who arent good enough to put themselves in that kind of position and making them look better by suggesting them missing less tackles means they are better players. In reality, they just arent very good a lot of times.   To me this is like looking at the NBA and suggesting Magic Johnson wasnt that good because he led the league in turnovers almost every year. An argument Ive heard many times. But when you look at the list of players who turned the ball over the most, its a list of the best players of all time.    The best players.make the most mistakes because they do the hardest job. They expect to do things other athletes cant even get intonpositoon to do. Anybody can avoid missing a tackle by not putting themselves in position to make the tackle in the first place. Thats not a sign of greatness.
    • Here are the available numbers taking away legend numbers    6, 10,17,19,21,24,30,53,57,60,61,68,69,70,71,74,77,89,97   So lets guess what numbers they will wear    Latu 17 Mitchell 6 Gonclaves 68 Bortolini 74 Gould 10 Carlies 53 Simpson 24 Abraham 30 Laulu 97    
    • Here's a perspective on College WRs having had less than 2 career YPRR. Adonai Mitchell is one of them.    It's a long thread, so peruse all the tweets under. This year might be an exception (as explained in the Twitter thread) because of the COVID shortened high school and freshman years for many of the rookies.       
    • Where the rubber hits the road. The concerns. Top heavy Shorter arms 19 reps hard to believe Not a bender as is Fries   Fries can't be counted on when we need a yard. They get under his pads time and again. All Gonc needs to do is be equal in the run game but a better pass blocker. This would be a big help.
    • Hey...where can I see this at?  How do I watch on "X"?  anywhere else it can be seen? How can I pull it up on my tv?  I'm not a big app person but I have Roku.  Appreciate you helping me out! Thanks!
