    the Broncos tried hard to re-tain him// they offered 16.5 per year and 30 Million guaranteed.

    Hes teammates look to be in shocked - they wanted him back..
    Obrien had a close up look in those scrimmages..

    I think this guy will be legit

    Meh...

    UPSIDE of Allen + Miller is certainly higher than just Brooks. Allen last year was close to Brooks, and Miller is a very talented back.

    I just seriously question Allen against elite defenses.

    there's no way to criticize this move given the void we've had at QB for 5 years. doesn't matter what you think of brock or what he's getting paid, this was absolutely a move this team had to make. there is no way they could have gone into the season with hoyer and savage or a rookie QB, regardless of who it was. this team needed to address the QB position TODAY and they did.

    kudos.

    "The Texans will select a QB with the 1st pick in the draft! Now even a question"-Pancakes on 2014 draft.

    i dont really care we lost Brooks.. Im sure we can find a replacement in the draft..
    Maybe we sign a veteran..
    at first i was skeptical on osweiler, but after thinking about it- I like this move

    The broncos actually offered him 30 Million guaranteed- they were sold on him- we just outbid them, and i think Osweiler really wanted no part of Kubiaks system

    So were the Broncos just trying to drive the price up or were they really trying to bargain Brock's price up? It's very possible the agent kept leaking that the Broncos were negotiating just to jack the price up.

    Rick, Bill, and the whole Texans organization is doing this with this signing, especially if they don't draft a QB...

    Allen is his replacement. Draft will just get us even more studs that we didn't even have prior to today. Ben Jones was trash.

    At first I wasn't for this. Not saying I won't go crazy if he fails for 6 weeks straight but I like the fact they had balls to make some moves. Texans never like to shuffle around pieces and take risks.

    Giving an "average" QB top 10 guaranteed money is not "doing well".

    If elway really believed Osweiler was a true franchise qb, he would've done anything to keep him.

    At the end of the day, I trust elway more than BO'B who proven to be TERRIBLE at evaluating talent.

    we should tender yates for a 3rd round pick, should kubiak look this way.
