So can somebody tell me where’s the downside? If Manning is 100% (or even 50%, this IS, after all, Manning) Denver will have a proven QB for at least a few seasons, giving Tebow the opportunity to learn from him, or, if that doesn’t happen, giving the front office the opportunity to replace him. If Manning isn’t able to perform, he’ll make a fantastic mentor for any QB, including Tebow, who has talent, guts and determination, if not all the skills he’s going to need to stay competitive in the NFL. Skills can be learned. Guts and determination you have to bring to the table. The only downside is if everybody writes the whole thing off without giving the team the opportunity to grow together.

He went to Denver to pretend to show interest, thereby driving up his price for other suitors. He will play this charade with a few more breathless owners, until he feels he’s got maximum leverage.

It’s all about the money with Manning, or haven’t you noticed how he played Irsay last year?

And neither you, nor any coaches, will see him toss around a football until after the ink is good and dry.

I still believe that deep-down Elway would give a kidney to get rid of Tebow. A healthy Peyton Manning may be his only chance to exorcise Tebowmania. Peyton vs. Timmy is one exciting matchup. I can’t wait to see how this plays out

As far as Tebow vs. Manning is concerned, they aren’t mutually exclusive. Tebow just becomes the backup and Manning takes the starting job.

i disagree, i think tebow gets cut if Manning is signed. Signing Manning would just show that Elway doesnt want Tebow, but i just dont see Manning going to Denver, plus, people have been saying that Manning could sign a 4 year deal and if he signs that in Denver, Tebow will walk away when he’s a free agent.

First of all, the picture deserves some sort of Irony award. It’s actually an audible, but that’s a good eye. Congrats!

As far as Tebow vs. Manning is concerned, they aren’t mutually exclusive. Tebow just becomes the backup and Manning takes the starting job. That would be perfect because if I were Tebow, I would like to be Manning’s backup for a year.

And Manning only have about 2 or 3 years left, max. But you can get a ring with him. Hiring Manning for your team is buying a ring. That’s all you’re doing, especially if his neck’s right. If it’s not, you’re buying a coach. And not a good one, either.

Is that a picture of Manning telling Tebow- “Yeah I took your Jesus fish”!!!!

The Colts just release Blue. Supposedly he is part of the Manning package deal to Denver.

as a chargers fan i welcome this

not only will it drive tebow-ites crazy

well let’s face it, the chargers love abusing peyton, and now he’s been off a year and tenderized….this should be fun

Well this seems like a no brainer.

Obviously any team would MUCH rather have Peyton Manning over Tim Teblow. After all, despite the fact the Denver defese managed to win a few games for Teblow last year, hes not going to make it as an NFL quarterback if he can’t throw the ball better.

I would take Tebow in Cleveland. I thought coming out of college he would do well in a West Coast offense. I would give up a 2nd rounder for him if no Flynn or RG3 ends up in Cleveland.

Shows you how full of it Fox and Elway were with their “support” for Tebow last January.

Tebow should mount his own tour of the NFL to go somewhere he’ll be appreciated.

Tebow is under contract. Manning is not.

As good as a defense, and running game as they had last year….and you now reportedly have $40 million in cap space?

Don’t use that on one player – use it on several. You can get a few good to great running back and linemen and on the defensive side add even more depth to keep the Broncos in every game for the forseeable future

But if you just get Manning – that’s all you get. For good or for bad

“Hey John, put on a feed bad and whinny for me. Cool, now put on this leather suit, put this tail in place and tow me around in this pony cart.”

Later:

“Nah, just kidding, I’m signing with Miami. Got some awesome footage for youtube, though. Thanks.”

Give him another 100 mill contract and watch him sit out another season. Go for it Broncos.

Be honest and realistic, if you compare Arizona, Denver, KC, and Miami, Denver is clearly 4th. This is a leverage play to get Denver and KC to have a bidding war against each other, while driving up the price for Arizona or Miami.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking.

i just cant see Peyton Manning going to Denver, i think he will go to a place where the situation will be perfect. i dont think Denver is that, maybe they pull an Eagles and surprise me, but as of now i see him in either Miami or Arizona. both those teams have a go to WR in Marshall and Fitzgerald. i bet both teams also could afford to sign not just Reggie Wayne, but Dallas Clark as well now!

Weak division. Thin air to help him throw. Take less money to bring Reggie and Dallas, and a better use for Tebow as a fullback…not a bad decision. Tim can Still learn from Peyton while being on the field in a non-QB position.

Hopefully the Tebow-ites can rally behind him no matter what position he plays.

Denver might just have the upper hand of all the teams in contention for Peyton’s services.
1. Denver has plenty of cap room, so they can upgrade where they need to.
2. They have some young receivers that can catch: Decker & Thomas.
3. Their defense and offense is solid.
4. Denver made the playoffs with Tim Tebow at QB.

Yeah the Tebowmaniacs wouldn’t like this. Just heard the insufferable Dan Caplis talking about this on KHOW(this is a political talk show that mainly trashes Obama). Someone else on Denver sports radio says the Broncos brass is pretty much convinced that the loudest Tebowmaniacs are more Tebow fans than Bronco fans. Makes sense…..

How much do you offer a 36 year old quarterback coming off of two neck operations??? I’m assuming not too much.

___
Elway won his two Super Bowls at the ages of 36 and 37. If Peyton’s neck is stable and the nerves heal up to the level that he needs them to in order to be effective, don’t count out Manning getting to and winning at least one more Super Bowl, maybe even two. The Patsie crybaby fans would whine to the high heavens if that happened though.

Believe me when I say Denver will have no problem unloading Tebow — there is one team in the NFL that should pursue him with as much energy as other teams are going after Manning — and that’s Jacksonville. If Tebow went to Jacksonville overnight more than 80% of all revenue generated by that Godforsaken place would be centered around the One. Denver should easily be able to extort at least a first round pick, maybe more.

Do people remember Rich Gannon?, he had some problems with the neck, tried to come back and was never the same, ending up retiring.

Of course Manning DR. will tell all that will listen he is just fine and as good as new. They want that last big payday. But Indy had their own Dr’s look at all the medical and decided to let him walk and for nothing at that.

That old saying Buyer Beware has found a new home. Favre to the Jets was going to make them World Beaters. Montana to KC was going to put them over the top. On and on I could go, I hope a team in the AFC West does sign him since I am a Fan of a team in the West. It will be good to see a team destroy themselves for years to come.
