Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Details forthcoming

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Just heard on SC. Wow. Adios, Tebowmania.

I gotta say, of the three teams that were left in the running, I thought Denver would be the odd man out for sure.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Tebowmania has been sidelined...for next season...barring any circumstances mostly beyond Manning's control, i.e injuries.

When I got to work this morning I was told the Niners were out and that the Titans had a slight edge...but I guess it was the Broncos as it turns out

Still hearing they plan to trade their 1st for Wallace (if they can agree to terms of a contract).

Wonder where Tebow goes now

Jacksonville? He could certainly fill some seats in his hometown, although they do already have Henne and Gabbert.

I'd take him here as a backup in a second, but wouldn't want to give up the picks.

Tebow would benefit from staying....but if I were guessing, his best "next destination" is Jacksonville.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Jacksonville?

Still surprised he chose Denver

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

I would definitely see him as a good backup candidate here from a physical standpoint. Won't happen though...can you imagine the situation that creates for whichever guy is our next starting QB?

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Hmm, maybe New England might be a surprise destination...if Joshy-boy can sell his mancrush on Tebow to Belichick. :laughing-

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

really crazy to me. When I heard Peyton was talkin to them, I was really surprised. I'm even more suprised that it's now gonna happen. I know Elway wasn't a Tebow fan, but the dude won a playoff game against one of the toughest defenses in the league that basically game planned to make him throw & beat them. And he did! I'm not saying Tebow is a sure thing as an nfl starter for the long-term, but he deserves more than this IMO. Huge risk, but really that's the case for any team taking a 36 year old coming off injury.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Wonder if Tebow ends up in Miami now...they need a QB after missing out on Flynn, Manning, and a slew of other guys. Wonder if Alex Smith stays in San Fran as well.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

I guess the understanding before all this was Tebow would no longer be a Bronco if Manning signed with them. Even as a backup.

Simply because it would just be too much of a distraction to have both Manning and Tebow.

I mean maybe he goes to San Francisco :) Josh McDaniels I'm sure would love him in New England, but they'd have to move Hoyer (or Mallett) first

If I'm Tebow and the Broncos just flat out cut me I wonder where I'd want to play though

I'm seeing a lot of people saying Jacksonville, but I think they need to ride out another season or two under Blaine Gabbert.

I think the Dolphins almost have to go all in to try to get Tebow. With Manning not heading to San Fran, I have to assume they lose out on Alex Smith and they've already lost Flynn. I probably like Moore as much as Tebow, but I doubt he gets Miami fans excited. If they got Tebow, people would at least come out to watch him. I have to think they push hard for him.

It's been an interesting offseason so far. I definitely didn't think Peyton would go to Denver. I don't like his weapons or John Fox as his coach...at all.

I'm no doctor...but does the thin Denver air benefit Peyton (and his neck) at all?
