    So do we thank Kubes for developing Osweiler at least?

    Nope.

    Both Manning and Osweiler complained about the offense.

    So is it Kaep or Sanchez?

    What's going on?

    Someone jumped the gun.

    It's Sanchez for now. Kaepernick (and others) are still possibilities but there is no trade for Kaepernick at this time.

    Hue Jackson tried to draft Kaepernick when he was HC of Oakland, so if the feeling is mutual it could make sense.

    I'm just laughing because all of the Broncos fans and their office say they only want people that want to be there and that they didn't really want Osweiler anyway...but apparently no one wants to be there any more.

    But at least they have Butt Fumble.

    No. Osweiler was in Denver before Kubiak was there. John Fox, Peyton Manning and Adam Gase helped him develop. Kubiak might of helped a little, but Adam Gase and Peyton Manning have a lot to do with Osweiler's development.

    Well if they can work a re-structured contract, the Broncos will have a RB.

    I think this is a good move for Denver. Bails them out big time.

    They probably still need to draft and develop another QB. Don't see them making it past the Chiefs or Raiders in that division

    Kapernick would be pretty awful in Kubiak's system... that relies on precise line reads, accuracy on crossing/slant routes, and touch on the deep ball...much moreso than just sheer mobility.

    Everybody thinks his play-action/boot-leg style would be great for a mobile QB... but that implies said QB has the threat of hitting the wide open receiver that all that deception is designed to create.

    Defenses will sell out against his running style and dare Kap to throw... and hence why he's been neutralized once the book was squarely out on him.

    If I were the Chiefs and Raiders, I would be very happy to know the Broncos' final move at QB after signing Mark Sanchez is trading for Kap.

    Too bad I wanted to see Kap and Chip Kelly for at least one year.

    Hmm I don't know. You have a new quarterback being added in April.... A quarterback that is not known for working hard or making good reads or decisions... Coming off a terrible season. A quarterback that does not like being in a highly structured offense, which is what he gets with Kubiak.

    Kap will help in that he will get something out of broken plays and will get yards with his legs.

    I am assuming they are going to run the ball at a very high rate, maybe the highest in the NFL and put Kap on a short leash with a lot of crossing routes to limit turnovers and limit his decision making.

    With their defense they can win 11-12 games if they avoid turnovers and can run the ball. I think they would be similar with Fitzpatrick and even a Hasselback.
