With Brock lling in as the Broncos’ starting quarterback on his 25th birth- day in late November, Denver went 5-2, defeated the defending Super Bowl cham- pion New England Patriots and secured a No. 1 seed and home eld advantage in the playo s. In the nal game of the regular season, he returned to the sidelines after Peyton Manning resumed his pursuit of a second Super Bowl title.
Last weekend’s victory marked a (potentially) storybook ending for Man- ning, who, at 39, became the oldest quar- terback to win a Super Bowl and who is expected to ride o into the sunset after this, his last rodeo.
That means Osweiler’s four-year edu- cation as Denver’s backup quarterback and Peyton’s pupil is coming to an end. It’s Brock’s turn in the saddle.
Osweiler, who has prepared — and largely been groomed — as Manning’s heir apparent the last four years, becomes an unrestricted free agent on March 14. The Broncos have until then to either work out a new long-term contract or put the franchise tag on the young quarter- back, meaning Osweiler would be bound to the team for one more year before hit- ting the free agency market. Numerous media outlets have reported that Den- ver’s front o ce hopes to tab linebacker Von Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, with the franchise tag.
Osweiler’s fate in Denver remains uncertain. Some critics have said he lacks the abilities to be a long-term starting quarterback in the league. In eight games with Denver this season, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,967 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.
“It’s been tough on him, but he’s been a great pro,” Denver head coach Gary Kubiak told members of the media last week. “That’s why he’s going to be a great player, in my opinion. He got an opportu- nity, he played well. Obviously, we made the move. He’s learned from that. He’s continued to prepare. He’s a great sound- board for Peyton through the course of preparation and getting ready to play, so I think the way that Brock has handled himself this year tells you what kind of future he has. I think that’s the biggest compliment I can pay to him. He’s been a great team player.”
As Brock’s father, John bears the weight of having to see his son undergo intense scrutiny in public.
“Unfortunately we’ve heard a lot of comments in the stands that probably shouldn’t be heard by anyone, but you just block them out as a parent,” John said. “College is one thing but the profes- sional level is a whole other level.”
His father believes Brock can take it. He knows his son possesses the strength and talent to play in this league.

Others believe in him, too. Students at Flathead High School signed doz- ens of cards last week that explained how Osweiler had inspired them; school administrators mailed them to Brock before the Super Bowl, along with a brick from the school’s renovation.
“Brock has really built a new founda- tion for Flathead High School as it enters a new era. He has really helped our pro- grams and school grow,” Activities
Director Bryce Wilson said.
Osweiler received the messages
before Sunday’s game.
“He sent me pictures of the messages
that the students had sent him. That was really neat,” Kathy said. “It does mean a lot to him. Flathead is such a great mem- ory for him, some of the best years of his life. He really wants to see the programs succeed and do well.”
