That was Brock Osweiler as a free agent in 2016, after he shined in limited action behind Peyton Manning with the 2015 Broncos and became a hot commodity for the desperate Texans to win via sweepstakes.
At the time, like Garoppolo, he had just seven career regular-season starts on his resume. And he’d only add 14 more during a run with the Texans that lasted just one season and contained more interceptions (16) than touchdown passes (15).
