Denver Post sports writer Mike Klis posts his Broncos Mailbag monthly during the offseason. Do you think Brock Osweiler is the future QB of the Denver Broncos? And if so, have the Broncos built an offense around him as well? -- Jeremy R., Florida Jeremy - Peyton Manning is the Broncos quarterback of the future. Seriously. Manning may be 38 years old, but he has three years left on his contract. Osweiler may be only 23, but he only has two years left on his contract. Osweiler will depart for free agency before Manning does. For Osweiler to become the Broncos quarterback, something significant has to happen to Manning whether it be injury, diminished performance or retirement. Lets say Manning suffers a bruised shoulder and cant play for three weeks. The Broncos would not change their playbook. I would think they would slow it down between plays. Huddle up more. But with the exception of perhaps the Minnesota Vikings with Adrian Peterson, every NFL offense relies on the quarterback to pass the ball, first. Run second. Manning averaged 41 pass attempts a game last season. Osweiler might average 31 pass attempts. But the Broncos would still be a three-receiver system offense.
