And, remember, this team rallied around and took themselves to the next level for Tim. What heights do you think they'll reach for --and believe they can achieve--with/for Manning?

Yeah, that and him. He's probably going to be pretty disappointed.

Not really though. He left because we weren't going to pay him. It doesn't sound like we even considered giving him a contract.

Peyton apparently didn't want him on the roster.

So can we point out that Vic Lombardi was more than 95% right. He's the only media person/source I've trusted this whole time.

The deal was done one week ago. It obviously just took a little "massaging". You have to trade Tebow. Two entirely different QB's. Woudn't work. The Broncos will pay Manning 90-million plus. Look for at least half that in guarantees.

According to sources inside the Broncos, the building at Dove Valley is going nuts. They're celebrating big time. What a coup by John Elway. The Broncos have already been in contact with several teams regarding Tebow. They've taken the temperature in case this were to happen. The Broncos won him over with Elway and Fox. End of story. They won him over. I know the Broncos have been in contact with at least three teams regaring Tebow. Despite what people think, there is a market for him.

I really hoped we could keep him, we would be unpredictable. Running two totally different offensives... And if he really is gone then for a high draft pick ...

I'm so ticked that Tebow didn't get at least one more year to prove himself in Denver. He earned it. I'm so furious with Bowlen and Elway right now I can't even see straight. I see this being a mistake of biblical proportions. While I’ll root for Manning to succeed since he’s on my team now I just don’t see it happening.

One thing is certain, Manning MUST deliver at least 1 playoff win in the first year of his contract. I like anyone else on this board should be all over him like white on rice if he doesn’t. The expectation MUST be set here at the very least. If he’s as great as everyone still seems to think he is this isn’t setting the bar low at all. We gave up a lot to get him he better produced some results THIS year.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens if he doesn’t. The same group who said we had to have him will be the same rats jumping ship if he doesn’t you can bet on it.

I'm stoked. This move guarantees a super bowl win. Guarantees it. Why? Anything short of that is a failure. FTW.

Tebow needs reps to get better, but that won't happen here, and the Bronco have no interest in trying to have 2 offenses, pretty hard to do even if they wanted to. Tebow will not fetch a high pick.

You tebowners are pathetic. All the players are excited as can be. Don't you think that speaks volumes about what they think their chances with Tebow are?

How can you not be excited?

It's not like Tebow was going to get us farther than Manning will. Our odds at going to the playoffs just went up. You may not believe Manning can get it done, but I guarantee he has a much greater chance of getting it done than Tebow did. As far as "developing" Tebow goes - you can't count on that, ever. With his playstyle, he could have been done for the year a few games into the season. His playstyle invites injury. So what if Manning is only here 4 years? I think he gives us a great chance to get to the SB.

Be happy!

Hope for the future is different that hoping he can hold up for one more season. Not sure I can trade one for the other.

Why would you think he can't hold up another season? He had physicals with three top orthopedic surgeons. Some say his neck at least, will be stronger. The biggest hit to him is probably some loss of range of motion on his neck. It apparently has no ill effects on him. He has had multiple workouts, and evreyone says he looks as good as always. Maybe better, for having a year off to let his body recover.

Why the sudden concern for his health? He is as healthy as he has ever been. He honestly doesn't get hit a lot, because he gets rid of the ball so quickly. Him getting hurt is honestly low on my list of things to worry about.

Are you sure you are just not angry that Tebow is done here? I'd think any real Bronco fan would be thrilled in the upgrade in the QB position. And while 4 years may not be the longest tenure, it's hardly like any QB after Elway has lasted longer, and we are sure to see more success with Manning.

Personally, I'm thrilled we are set for QB for a few years at least. That's a huge upgrade for our offense. It will be kind of nice to see the team score in the first 3 quarters of a game again.

[Mile High Mojoe]

I'm watching the NFL Network and they just had a piece listing the Top10 QB's to switch teams. What they failed to mention in it is that the only one count'em one that went onto to win a championship was Norm Van Brocklin of the 1960 Philadelphia Eagles. Keep in mine this list included Montana, Favre and Namath.

What does this about Manning's  chances to win a SB? Not good good at all. This was a huge mistake I'm sorry I just don't see Manning in all his greatness carrying this team at his age to a Super Bowl win.
