On whether Manning would be the starter when healthy:
“What we do is we go week-to-week. We have made a decision to proceed this week just like we did last week. We feel like that’s what’s best for our team and that’s what’s best for him from a health standpoint, so that’s the decision we made.”
Come on, Kubiak, just give it to us straight. We deserve that.
Again, the question was “When he [Manning] is healthy, is it his job to return to?” If Bill Belichick, Mike McCarthy, or Chuck Pagano were asked that question, they’d laugh and say, “Of course it’s his job. He’s our starting quarterback”; they definitely wouldn’t beat around the bush like Kubiak just did.
So if there’s any question about who the Denver Broncos see as their starting quarterback — healthy or not — that should pretty much answer it. Barring a catastrophe, Brock Osweiler is the man going forward.
And as a long-time fan of Peyton Manning, I couldn’t imagine a more disappointing way to go out. I sure hope this isn’t really the last we see from “The Sheriff.”
