To successfully play QB in the NFL one must have the right temperament tools and Brock Osweiler has the ability, let’s see how he uses it.
Brock Osweiler temperament is matched to Troy Aikman. This will be a brief analysis and on the surface it seems to be an good situation for the Broncos. Let’s take a look at Aikman’s numbers: only once threw for more than 20 TDs, never threw over 3500 yards in a season and has an almost 1:1 TD to INT ratio. After Jimmy Johnson left the Cowboys and Aikman began to fall apart. Therefore we can briefly conclude Brock is not a generational QB but could be a decent starter for a well-managed team.
Also the negative trait of Osweiler’s temperament trait is independence – if taken to an extreme turns into disobedience, selfishness and an inability to connect or fit in with teammates. Holding the clipboard for the past couple of years has been beneficial for his mental and emotional development. If the negative traits are minimized Osweiler could flourish and Manning can retire.
