10 times the film showed Osweiler shouldn't start

Brock Osweiler's view of Brock Osweiler is likely quite different from yours.

After a year-and-a-half of starting experience in the NFL, the former Denver Broncos and Houston Texans quarterback has replaced Mark Sanchez as the most laughed-at passer in the league. But Osweiler isn't laughing.

When asked if he could be a starter for the Cleveland Browns, he told reporters Wednesday: "I think the proof is in the film for the past two years."

Here are 10 reasons why he might want to take that statement back:

Getting 'revenge' on the Broncos

The game Osweiler should have been the most motivated and best prepared for came in Week 7 of the 2016 season against the Broncos, his former team.

Evidently, his former teammates were more motivated than him, as he threw for 131 yards on 41 attempts and set an NFL record for most games with less than 200 passing yards on 40 attempts or more. Bravo.

Making 6-foot-8 look short

One thing Osweiler has always had going for him is his height.

But somehow, it seems few quarterbacks have had more passes batted down at the line of scrimmage than this 6-foot-8 QB.

Being cheered to the bench

Name one quality starter who has been cheered on for getting benched in favor of a quarterback with no career starts.

I'll wait.

'Reading' coverage

The fact that first-ballot Hall of Famer Brett Favre threw into triple coverage all the time isn't valid reasoning for forcing this throw.

Chemistry with his No. 1 WR

DeAndre Hopkins had back-to-back seasons of more than 1,200 yards with a combination of Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden, and T.J. Yates throwing him the ball.

In his first game playing with Hopkins, Osweiler tried a bounce pass to his elite pass-catcher.

Creating his own pressure

After experiencing some limited success against the blitz while playing the Raiders, Osweiler was thrown off by the lack of pressure and opted to pass up an open receiver down the sideline to force a pass to a covered target.

Situational awareness

When a pass is batted back into a quarterback's hands, he can either bat it down and live to play another down, or catch it, get tackled, and lose some yards.

Seems like an easy decision, right?

Identifying the opponent's biggest threat

In Osweiler's fourth career start, he had just one defensive player to really keep an eye on: Khalil Mack.

Despite Mack's 6-foot-3, 250-pound frame, the former Broncos quarterback couldn't seem to spot the Raiders edge rusher, as he was slammed to the field five times. It was just the 15th time in NFL history a player notched five sacks in one game.

Starting off on the right foot

A good quarterback can take over a game on the first drive if he handles it properly.

On the first drive against the Colts in Week 6 of last season, Osweiler handed the ball off once, threw two incomplete passes, and quickly fumbled on third down.

Using his eyes

Among the greats, Drew Brees has made a career out of moving defensive backs around the field with his eyes.

Osweiler proved he can do the same, staring down his receiver until a defensive back could jump in front of his pass.
