    So far yes. He's got 2 1/3 games under his belt this season. In the KC game he scored 13 points. He might have won that game if he'd started. Plus he's won in his two starts. Now I do give BIG credit to the Broncos defense for both wins. But the Offense also has to do it's part and under Brock they have.

    When PM was in Indy the backup QB was the lowest priority. So when Peyton was out for a year with his neck Injury... well let's just say Curtis Painter was not up to the job.

    The Broncos invested in a decent backup QB and that, along with a great defense, has saved their season.

    I'm not convinced Brock will be a great QB, but he is solid and I believe he will get a Super Bowl ring before he retires.

    He can manage a game that relies on strong running and defense. That's what he has proved so far. Nothing wrong with that, but he needs far more time & chemistry with the starting wideouts before reaching a Brady level. I do like the idea of using 2nd string receivers he's already practiced with, though. Helps build confidence. Denver should give him a contract extension and strengthen the O Line so they can create holes for the RBs. Brock has the arm to make throws and size to make them accurate if the offense can run the ball to relieve pressure.

    Maybe so, maybe not. I think Brock has a lot of talent, but as he plays more, coaches get more and more tape on him to gameplan a way to slow him down. He also is still pretty inexperienced so mistakes will be made and learning will hopefully occur. BUT we've seen before where a QB helped lead his team to Super Bowl after being thrust into the starting role without any real experience (Brady won and Kaepernick was a few yards away). I'm not saying it will happen, but with the talent surrounding Brock on defense and offense I wouldn't count it out.

    It's too early to tell really... Brock is yet to take on a exploitable secondary and he has done good against a good Bears and Patriots secondary, if he takes on the Chargers and it's lights out then he is a good qb, if it's just another 250 yard game then he isn't special at all.

    I wouldn't call him the next Brady quite yet, even with that quality win. He certainly has the potential for it though. My only concern is that taller players are usually more injury prone.
