I mean he's looked OK, but that fact there's suggestions about franchising and long term deals sort of shows where QB contracts are at. Any average QB basically costs at least $15 million a year. Ridiculous.

Interesting. Clearly I'm the biggest Osweiler fan here since he's from my hometown. I've been digesting tons of information over the last few days.
I haven't seen any of that.
I've seen predictions of a multi-year deal for 10-12 per with $20M guaranteed. I've seen predictions that Manning plays when healthy no matter what Osweiler does.
He's looked better than OK. No matter how they got to the point in the game, he was asked to go win the game in the 4th quarter and he did with three pretty great throws. (yes I know that drive didn't actually win the game, but the point stands). He's poised, tough and has all the physical tools. Those first two are HUGE though. That's what is missing from most QB's who fail in this league. Poise under pressure and toughness.
