Eat My Sports: Brock Lobster!

The Peyton Manning era in Denver appears to be approaching the, and the main culprit is not one Thomas Brady. Instead, Brock “Lobster” Osweiler achieved the one thing that has eluded Manning over his entire career, defeating Brady, late in the season, in terrible weather.

The bandwagon has begun to pile on Osweiler, and it’s hard to argue against it, as what he as demonstrated, albeit, in limited viewing, has been everything that Manning has not been when it has mattered most in Denver.

While it’s sad to see Manning’s career in Denver go down like this, as he single-handedly made the Broncos relevant for really the first time since John Elway led the team to back to back Super Bowl wins to close out the 90s. But with as stacked as the Broncos currently are, and with still being within striking distance of a very depleted Pats team for home field advantage in the AFC playoffs, it seems foolish to go with the arm that has held the team back this year.

This all may be a snap judgment for watching only a limited amount of Osweiler, but if the Broncos want to buck the trend of epic, playoff failures recently, The Lobster appears to be the man going forward.
