Can the broncos win with brock osweiler as the qb?

With Manning out, it will be Denver's defense that determines their success. But in a way it's nice the Broncos will get an extended opportunity to see Osweiler in game action. It will tell them whether they do have their future franchise quarterback already or if they need to look elsewhere.

Actually, it depends on his work ethic during every offseason. If Brock Osweiler works hard and performs very well in practice every day, he will greatly improve his chances of becoming a successful, top notch NFL quarterback for the Denver Broncos, who could lead the team to a Super Bowl Championship, in the future.

Probably not,but they have a better chance with Osweiller than with Manning at this point.

I think they have a better chance than they would with Manning. Of course, they need to be more aggressive and expand the playbook more than they did against the Bears (that was an extremely conservative gameplay with very few passes further than 20 yards). Os has better mobility ,a stronger arm than Manning, and can go under-center so with him running the Kubiak offense they don't look like an ugly mesh of Manning/Kubiak offenses.

They can win enough games to make the playoffs, which is not hard at this point, but they won't make a deep postseason run.

The Patriots will expose Brock this weekend.

It's obvious that they can because they just beat their old coach and his merry band of losers in Chicago. But I don't think that they're a legitimate contender with Lurch out there in place of Manning.

Denver will only go as far as their defense takes them. That hasn't changed.

I mean they can technically win if they score more points than the other team, in reality the Patriots are going to blow them out of the water.

a healthy osweiler is better than a unhealthy peyton.

Maybe.
