Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Houston crowd goes nuts over Brock Osweiler benching
Brock Osweiler was benched in Houston after throwing interceptions on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter vs. the Jaguars. Texans fans aren't hiding their satisfaction with the decision.
Then Savage comes back to win the game... holy cow. Vindicated! Denver carries a young Osweiler to five wins and puts on display a great show for the whole league. That was funny money from 20 million miles away.
Houston saved Denver from itself by giving him that massive contract. Although I think he would have been better here in an offense he was familiar with and a coaching staff very aware of his strengths and weaknesses, than he is with a coach who never wanted him and in an offense that's a lot different.
I don't think he'd be great in Denver, but I think he'd have been better.
I still remember how many people were sour at Elway for this.
Eat crow people
Why should anyone eat crow? John wanted to keep Brock, evidenced by the large contract he offered. One could argue John would have even matched the Texans larger offered had he been given the opportunity. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we dodged a bullet, but let's not try to rewrite history here. If Brock wanted to be a Bronco he would be a Bronco, and it is likely he would have a comparable contract here.
Anonymity is cowardice, and cowards are not known for their wisdom.

I guess that's what makes this story so enjoyable. Brock did not want to be a Bronco.

He wanted to be a Trojan Horse.
I agree with this statement, but that is a separate point altogether right? I just don't see the need to tell this story any different than it went down. We wanted Brock, and we may have matched the Texans offer given the chance. It's just the NFL world the Broncos live in, QB craze is at all an all time high and will continue to go up. I'm glad we dodged that bullet but it's not because we wanted to.

Elway is probably like sigh of relief. He did offer Brock 16 million per. I don't know what Brock would've became in Denver, but I do think it would've been better than what he's done in Houston.
