    It's not that the Broncos didn't want Osweiler. They offered him a deal worth $16M a year. The Texans just out bid them.

    Amazing how it matters years later where a guy was drafted. Bradford is still living well off his 1st pick stock and had Osweiler been a 5th rd pick instead of a 2nd rd pick he never gets that kind of money.

    Seems that evaluation of nfl play would matter more. It doesn't.

    This will not be a terrible deal for the Texans. the kid is not a bad QB and as people already said he is an upgrade compared to what they had.

    Didn't Osweiler play pretty well based on the standards of a young QB with little previous playing time?

    He completed 61% of his passes with 10 TDs and 6 ints.

    He was not just a game manager either he threw for almost 2000 yards in 7.5 games.

    In his 7 starts the team had a 5-2 record.

    Yeah, but the team was 7 and 2 under Manning, and he played like doo doo for most of the season. The Broncos defense is what carried that team. It remains to be seen if Osweiler will be a good Qb or not. We won't know if the Texans made a smart move getting him away from Denver until the end of the season. As a Titans fan, I hope he is the next Kolb.

    If Osweiler gets the playoff starts his record would have been 8-2 with a ring.

    As for Kolb he was not bad at all he just kept getting hurt.

    He only threw for 5206 yards 28 tds and 25 ints in 6 seasons. If that's what the Texans get with Osweiler I will be a happy Titans fan.

    He(Kolb) was only a starter his last 2 seasons in Arizona. He missed 18 starts with injury and had to retire because of concussions.

    Of course i wish the Texans have similar bad luck with Osweiler given the investment but you can't anticipate that or predict it.

    The Texans are and have been overrated because of the condition of the AFC south. I don't know at all if osweiller is better than what they have had. No one can. He has done nothing. He is Matt Cassell. Who knows? Flynn? Who knows. But Texan fan sure thinks they are Super Bowl contenders now. I think they are still mediocre at best.

    You must be the only Kolb fan left. Did he play for a college or high school team you routed for or something? Because he did jack squat in the NFL.

    As a Titan fan I think we are passing on one of the most promising aspects of this signing. The Texans don't have much of an offensive line for their 70 million dollar man and the new running back. We stole their "average bug eating" Center, and it looks like they are going to have to piece together a line from value added tier 3 thru 6 free agents and the draft. Orakpo and Casey are gonna make Oswipper look like a lawn chair. Payback is a *****!

    No I simply explained his career. When a guy only starts a season worth of games in 6 years and has to retire at age 26 you can hardly make much judgement about him as a player.

    He was not terrible when he played.
