I am glad that Welker got a deal and didn’t have to return to the Patriots! Kraft was all talk. ….we want to keep Welker a Patriot for life like Brady? Yet they were too cheap to pay 6 mil a year? Go Broncos! And I am a Bengal fan! Bill played him last year for not wanting to sign his tender, so he is better off out of there!

I wonder if Elway contacted Brady over this as well?? Seriously a dangerous core of Denver receivers. Add 2 additional wins to the 2013 season!

Why not? 2 HOF QBs discussing a potential quality slot guy for the team? “Hey, Peyton! Think you can do anything with this guy?”. Seems a no-brainer.

OMG! The GM asked the QB about a receiver? How bizarre.

I always ask for Manning’s input before I order Papa Johns pizza! He has never steered me wrong.

I’m sure ever since this signing was announced, NFL network has been comparing Welker to Ed McCaffrey and Steve Watson.

What if they choke in the first round of the playoffs again?

@killit and invector…I’m sure you both, in all your vast NFL experience, know exactly how Elway needs to improve his management style. I’m sure he’s waiting for your calls.

Maybe- but when you have a threat at every level of the passing attack it will reduce the importance of a replacement for mcgahee. Substitute short passes for runs. Imagine being a d-coordinator mapping out a gameplan for 3rd downs against them…
—————————————————
Very true but this only works if you have a QB that can take advantage of threats at every level and Manning isn’t that guy anymore. You have another guy who’s good in Mannings 15-20 yard range off the line of scrimmage and defenses are going to figure it out quick. It only took the Ravens one half to put together a gameplan to defend it.

@peytonsneck18,

“he asked peyton does he mind if we sign welker to help them choke in the playoffs like peyton is knowned for”

Kind of like you choked in english class with your George W. Bush-ism of the word “knowned”?

From what I know of Peyton, he is a SB winning QB with a first ballot HOF body of work who will very likely be referred to as one of the greats in this game when it is all said and done.

Exceptional work, Einstein. Your family must be proud.

Welker is only good at 5-8 yard routes, which works out perfect since Manning can only throw the ball about 9 yards anyway.

great now they have another guy they can blame instead of manning when he chokes again the playoffs. I can hear it now,we would have won if welker had made that catch after manning throws another crucial pick with the game on the line as he almost always does.

“I wish Welker all the best. Except when he plays the Pats. Thanks for everything!”

I thought I was upset when they let Vrabel go. I wish Welker all the best *especially* when he plays the Pats.

@ Infectorman

The Pats have 2 tight ends who can’t stay a healthy, a receiver who cant stay healthy, horrible Secondary. Good Luck with Your Injury prone offence and bad defense. The Ravens will be fine as always and will continue to compete in the AFC.

If you’re John Elway and you had to play in the late 80′s & early 90′s with certain receivers that you were never asked about – you know from experience how it would feel to be ASKED your opinion by management. Especially with a QB like the one they have on the field now.

I’m sure there were plenty of guys that Dan Reeves and Wade Phillips stuck John with that he would rather have not been saddled with (see what I did there?)

Somebody once asked Belichick if he wears a watch.

Last time NE played Denver is wasn’t close.

At least we all know the Mavens won’t be sniffing the playoffs this year. 7-9

Management style #1:

ask franchise QB if he can have permission to sign a player.

Management style # 2:

Let said receiver walk and piss off franchise QB for all of about 60 minutes and then sign a younger, faster, bigger, quicker version of above metnioed receiver.

Step 3: turn new younger faster quicker receiver into better version of old receiver.

If you’re the boss, you don’t have to ask permission.

Yep, just like Indy. He wanted Wayne, he got him too.
