I know we're still in "rebuild mode", but we need to take some positive steps on the field, and win some ballgames. If Hue things that B.O. is the guy, then that's who we need to run with.

brownie man Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Told you guys Brock from the beginning was brought in to compete they were never going to trade up unless they got something significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Not surprised, he's a vet competing against a couple youngsters, he should be the best option right now. I still don't think he's a good option though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I believe it's a show case like @sdrawkcab321 said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwickRedux Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I don't think it can be discounted that he moved the offense best on Friday night - with none of the QBs separating themselves from the others, that may have been all it took for Hue to peg him as QB1. I'm really disappointed in Cody tho - the starting job was his for the taking and he really has taken a step backward it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say it something, but I don't think it's nothing either. I also can't see Hue wasting precious preseason reps on a player he has no plans to play.

We're not talking about the Pats playing Jimmy G and Jacoby B through the bulk of the preseason, knowing that you've got one of the GOAT ready to go come week 1 of the regular season.

Bonanza23 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I still wouldn't be surprised if Oslonger starts and Kizer comes in week 5. Hue just wants a veteran in there to start the season. Kizer probably just isn't quite ready. Kessler has just been disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BwickRedux Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I think this goes to show the delicate balance the team is trying to strike between adapting a "win now" vs. "young and rebuilding" mentality. The front office is clearly on the young and rebuilding side, which they've shown in how they're constructing the roster in February through May - then they hand it over to Hue who is more on the win now side of things using the pieces he's been provided. Specifically to the Brock decision, it shows Hue is not ready to go all in on Kizer's development at the sacrifice of a possible early season win. You go with the guy who looks the best so far and don't weight the decision when it comes to other factors (like "seeing what they have" in a rookie).

FGK Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I think showcasing is the most likely reasoning here. Plus it drives up his price if he's our "projected starter." This doesn't make a ton of sense as a legit move if what I read a few days ago about Kessler/Kizer splitting 1st team reps and Osweiler being permanent 2nd team was correct.
