Denver Broncos: Brock Osweiler may have cost the team a franchise QB

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler has retired from the NFL.

Broncos fans owe Osweiler a debt of gratitude, as his contributions to the 2015 Super Bowl team were invaluable. At the same time, Broncos fans can rightfully blame Osweiler for the team’s current quarterback purgatory situation.

Obviously when dealing with hypothetical situations, it’s tough to say that every situation would have been the same if just one domino had fallen a different way, but hypothetically speaking, Osweiler’s decision to spurn John Elway and the Broncos in 2016 cost the team a shot at Patrick Mahomes and/or DeShaun Watson the following year.
