Quarterback Brock Osweiler sits on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He remains the Broncos starter. Yet, it's not enough. Many antsy Broncos fans want to know that he's the starter. The Broncos have not made a public announcement or told the players privately of their plans.
Why are they waiting? For the same reasons rock stars date super models: because they can.
And they should.
Instant gratification defines modern society. It is followed closely by immediate resolution. Everyone wants an answer yesterday. This works better in life than in sports.
The Broncos continue to handle the situation with Osweiler and Peyton Manning professionally, and correctly.
