If they plan to draft over Tebow within the next few years then the only difference between getting Manning and not getting Manning is who the QB will be over that time period. Personally I'd rather take a chance with a health cleared Manning than anybody else we could plug in to the position until we get our QBOTF. It's only "not worth it" if you assume Tebow is the QBOTF. If you've been paying attention to what EFX have said and done over the last several months, and not deluding yourself as many have been, you'd be aware that he most likely isn't.

What? Hitting your nuts with a hammer? Yes, it is. So much so I wouldn't do it. Much like signing Manning. But it is what it is and our FO collection of slap *****, twits, and twats are going to crash this bad boy on the rocks going after the siren song of Pay me a ton Manning.

Manning is upping the price he has no intention signing with us its just good business. I can't see Denver even offering him enough. I think its been fun time passer discussing it possibly

[ludo21]

i wonder how much guaranteed money Peyton will command with all this attention?

even more reason to dislike Manning.

1) he's using Elway because he knew Elway would nibble at the bait.
2) he doesn't care if it causes locker room problems with the Broncos when he doesn't sign here because he doesn't give a sh*t about the Broncos since he's never been a Bronco
3) he's more than happy to drag this out publicly and thus piss in Tebow's morning coffee. there's no way Tebow can be happy with all of this.

jeez, Manning is even worse than Lebron. i wonder if ESPN will give him a 2 hour show to announce where he will sign?

[alkemical]

This is so ****ing awesome!

he wants 3 years, $45M guaranteed, with NO injury clauses, and most likely without even having to go through a tryout. he wants to sign based on reputation and doesn't want to have to prove to anyone he's healthy. if somebody bites at all of that, they'll get the deal done. if they don't, then he's probably willing to tryout.

big melonhead. bigger ego.

I am sorry but if we are winning with Peyton like we should be supposed to, we will not have a shot at a QB of the future. Just like we don't have a shot a QBOTF because Tebow pushed us out of the range. And Tebow could be a QBOTF...if he where to be developed. If that happens here so be it. If it happens somewhere else and he turns into something big...then shame on us.

Paul Allen is sitting there with his checkbook open going, "Yeah, whatever."

At least with EFX I'm pretty sure they're just gonna limo him to one of Elway's restaurants and not a vip room at a strip club.

Well we are closer then a zero percent chance. The poster said every board and local paper was talking about signing him. How many are flying him to visit? Three as of now?

Lol no Manning is just using us.

[Old Dude]

He's used and abused us his whole career. Why should it be any different now?

Because he was playing to beat us in a football game, not screw over Elway

Ay, there's the rub. Interesting insight there.

If #Manning is added to the #broncos roster #tebow learns behind him as QB2 - sources tell me #jaguars don't want to trade for him

Elway doesn't need anyone to screw him anyway.. he seems to be great at doing that to himself... a la Orton last season..

WFAN reporting Manning is not happy with Miamis front office structure.he sees it as unstable and has put them to the bottom of the short list...I cant believe this might be happening
