Do you think they go after Bradford or just draft Hackenberg, who O'Brien coached at Penn St. before taking over the Texans?

Would Bradford sign somewhere they were drafting a QBOF?



But at the end of the day, I think he ends up in Denver


If Bradford goes to Denver, then Osweiller could be added to our mix.

I don't see why Houston wouldn't do both. Bradford would be a great fit and Hackenburg wont cost a lot. Houston has had to use more QB then any team and they still made the playoffs. They surely are one team who has to believe in the benefit of having a solid back up.
And lets face it, its not like Bradford has torn up the league where you'd expect him to be untouchable. I think seeing him with Hackenburg makes a lot of sense.

"He" as in Bradford? That would sure be nice for Bradford but is there any kind of connection? If SB 50 proved anything, it's that a team doesn't really "need" top QB play to get to, and even win, the SB. You think they're moving on from Osweiller?

I guess Denver's plans hinge on Manning but not excessively so. I mean, if he's slow to decide I don't think they'll have any hesitation about just moving on. I wonder which FA/available QB that GM's value? I mean, would Mike Glennon be that terrible of a choice for Denver for example? There are many teams that need QB's but it's a weird crop of guys who are out there.

I think Denver would gladly upgrade Osweiler.
Osweiler is like a Denver version of Case Keenum. Sure they won games with him, but they only scored about 16 ppg with him. When the league started figuring him out, they went back to Manning
Will they re-sign Os? I think they will offer him a low dollar deal but if they could upgrade to a Bradford? Absolutley
Sure they won this year with marginal QB play, but that was an any given Sunday kinda day. I think even the staunchiest of Bronco fans know they wont win much playing that type of game IE Fisherball

I don't see a difference between Osweiler and Keenum TBH (team performance wise). Or Mannion for that matter (Physical wise)
He played like 5 good games. That aint enough for me to give that kid a deal

Small body of work but he did look solid. He showed a great deal of promise. His D didn't hurt in the W column of course. Not a huge fan but of the available FA QB's he has to be at least an honorable mention. We need a QB.

Did he?
He looked great against New England. Other than that he was manageable at best. My wife is a Broncos fan so thanks to Direct TV I watched plenty of Broncs ball. I'd rather stick with Keenum and hope Mannion is the real deal.

I watched the NE game too. Against a decent team he did well . Was it a fluke, but I will defer to your larger body of experience there. He did look good in the game I watched. That said, I have a few friend up in CO and they being Broncos fans were hoping to see him get more time as their faith in Manning (at that time) was at an all time low. However they also weren't so sure he was their future.
