Re: [poll] where will Peyton Manning play next season? Why Denver? No receivers, average defense. Their defense is overhyped. Do they even have a line? |

Denver had top 5 defense and top 5 pass protect O-line. There are free agent receivers waiting for Peyton to sign. |

Plus he can't wear his No 18 Jersey. Its retired, if I'm not mistaken, in Denver. Maybe he'll wear No 16 his UT Jersey. I'm disappointed in the decision.
However, I feel Denver offers him more freedom of the final 3 teams. SF is mostly based on a running attack and Jim harbaugh will not give Manning his freedom to call plays. Tennessee means playing Indy twice a years and, with it, painful memories. If John Fox and elway could adapt to Tebow, really a running back, they can surely let Manning have some freedom.
They've already phoned Jeff Saturday to make Peyton comfortable. They have tons of salary cap.

Plus Denver is AFC in a pretty weak division. Good odds to get into the playoffs plus avoid playing his brother in anything but the SB.

Coastie | Throughout this entire fiasco I have great admiration for the way Manning handled his decision. The parting from Indy was one of least acrimonious I have witnessed. None of the teams that lost out appear angry. Manning personally phoned them, well in advance, according to reports, so that they could get on with their business. A real Professional on and off the field. |

Now, as a NE fan, I really would like another SB win, but the Manning hater in me really hopes Tebow's new team, whoever it may be, wins the friggin superbowl next year. Just so he can tell Peyton and Elway to suck it. That and see Peyton have a shitty season. heheheh.... |

Agreed. Peyton is a highly intelligent and classy player. I can see him having a long and successful career off the field as well when it comes to that.

And the other shoe is bye bye Tebow:
»www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8···im-tebow
The Broncos have already looked into moving Tebow and are currently looking for a trade partner.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been mentioned as a possible landing spot for Tebow, who rose to fame as a star with the Florida Gators in college. Jaguars owner Shad Khan has mentioned that he would have been interested in Tebow if he had been in charge of the team when the quarterback entered the league.

Coastie | I am a great Tebow fan from his College days but come on people he's not really a QB a la John Elway. The Bronco's were going nowhere with Tebow even Elway was not willing to commit. He was looking for that great passing QB like Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Rivers. Then comes along Manning. Who knows what the future holds but, at least, with Manning maybe 16 years of futility in Denver might end.The Denver fans should be so lucky that they have one of the most cerebral QBs ever to play the game. No training period required.

Was just looking at the Broncos schedule for 2012. Last game of the year could be Peyton vs Brady. Other then that their schedule is pretty boring. |

Considering how far they got this past season I wouldn't say "Going nowhere", I'd say he was pretty impressive. Sure, he's not perfect, he's no Tom Brady. (Ok ok, or Eli) but with some coaching he's got potential. Doesn't help when your boss is basically telling everyone he has no faith in you either. |

I'd love Tebow as a backup QB. He could run the wildcat option as a QB that could run. Possibly teach him to hold FG's so you have a viable FG fake option as well.

I think those rankings are bit suspect, though. The O-line didn't give up a lot of sacks due to the QB running a lot last year instead of standing in the pocket. And their defense was demolished by New England in the playoffs. I don't think they're terrible, just average.

I'm thinking it has to do with one of his first visits to Denver. Elway (being very persuasive, and a man who generally gets what he wants when he puts his mind to it), is like: "Oh, and Peyton, we don't often talk about this room, but if you're ever not feeling well, you walk in here for a couple of hours, and I guarantee you'll walk out feeling a WHOLE lot better".
"Heh...Just one of the many fringe benefits we have here".

I don't think teams will offer a lot for Tebow in trades. When you get him, you get a young, hardworking QB who has a lot to learn about the QB position that he may or may not ever learn. But you also get his rabid fans, many of whom feel he's entitled to be a starting QB regardless of how he plays, or who else plays the position for the team he's on. So if he's a backup somewhere, those fans will be demanding that he replace the starter as soon as the team loses a few. Tebow could be an asset, but his rabid fan base is a liability that I'm sure Elway's glad to be rid of.

Just what about Denver would be more attractive than S.F.?
People wonder why Manning didn't choose the 49ers-a team that possesses the most amount of talent among the three suitors and were an overtime session away from playing in the Super Bowl. One would think that Manning would take the 49ers over the edge and put them in a similar or better position than the one Alex Smith put the team in last season. There had to be something that turned Manning in the other direction. |
