    One thing I notice is he holds on to the ball way too long. Not a big fan of his delivery.

    Brock, will be fine...

    This is a smart move by him... Go somewhere to start your own legacy, it would have been a lot of pressure for him next year in Denver..

    Sometimes it seems like it is coming right out of his ear hole. Kind of like Carr....

    Make it easy on him. Get a strong defense. Solid offensive line. Reliable running game. And a big TE target. Pray for no major injuries. It'll be fine.

    Don't excite ppl now. :)

    He has a low release point because of his height. His passes don't' have much energy to them. Accuracy is def average.

    I think the more I watch film on him, I dislike him more. :(

    What evidence do you have that BO is "likely to fail"? Based on what "experts" say? Based on what he did in 7 starts last year? Based on what he did in college...4 years ago?

    This may be a bad example, but Arian Foster got passed on by 224 times in the draft and turned out to be the best Texans RB of all-time.

    Many Texans fans booed the JJ Watt draft pick... he's turning out to be one of the best DE's in league history...

    Too early to predict with BO's a bust, avg, superstar.

    all true but who cares about grudens interviewing skills?!?! i'm more interested in his praise and critique of which he had both. so far all the media has been negative to the texans and positive to the broncos.

    You should reread the entire sentence. He's saying it's equally likely for him to be a failure or to be the long-term QB for this franchise.

    Based on the fact that a majority of quarterbacks fail?

    He doesn't have a long track record, so the hope is that he does well, but there is also a real chance he fails.

    I never predicted he would fail, I said he is as likely to fail as he is to be a long term starter..... if you would like me to list all of the failed quarterbacks let me know and we can come up with a list.

    They were also potential NFL QBs.

    Why is Nook getting a hard time here? He mentioned Brock is as likely to fail as flourish. Which at this point is as fair an argument you can make.

    Doesn't it seem fair to look at past QBs to do research? That seems to be what scouts, GMs, etc. do. It doesn't mean that player X is the same as player Y... just that statistically x,y,z might be more or less likely to happen.

    Common sense type stuff...

    No. It's completely irrelevant.

    I like the pick. I really wanted a QB from the draft, but this is better for the team now.

    This dude is taking the Brock loss personally. He covers the Broncos for his news station:

    3rd tweet reminds me of what Deandre did with the mavs lol.

    What a douche; Elway and the broncos went up to 16M for Osweiler and you still didn't get him. Now he's trash?

    Lot of their defense is gone, their starting RB just signed a offer sheet with the fins, and Wade's not noted for being good in his second year as a DC. Broncos are for sure going to decline
