Any more stupid questions?

Pay attention. I was talking about the roster outside of the QB position.

Of course you were but the roster includes PM now and it doesn't include Tebow, get over it.

Bladerunner · 03-22-2012, 03:37 PM

No it won't...we traded Tebow's upside (debate quantity elsewhere) in the future for more immediate returns from Manning, so I don't think 8-8 gets it done for the franchise, unless they get into the playoffs and make a strong run at it. Win/Loss records don't matter once you are in the playoffs.

Manning floats all boats higher.

(but so did Tebow)

CBF1 · 03-22-2012, 04:30 PM

Why would anyone consider the Broncos having the same record again next year a success

Denver with Tebow pulled off 8-8, Now you are paying the greatest QB in history in Peyton Manning 19 million a year and you would be happy with the same record?... This place is full of village idiots.

I only saw one poster saying 8 & 8 would be acceptable to him. I'm not going to mention who because I like him.

McDman · 03-22-2012, 04:35 PM

It absolutely won't but we have a god damn brutal schedule. We HAVE to fix our DT issues.

Broncobiv · 03-22-2012, 04:40 PM

My God, what a horrible decision it was to bump this thread after the Manning signing...

Anything other than winning Super Bowl with Manning is a failure to me.

I knew there were at least 12 complete morons on this board, but 22?

Denver has to make it to the AFCCG at least, and make a strong showing in that game. Otherwise, what the heck did you sign him for? If Peyton somehow manages to start for 3 years they better win at least one AFC Title and get to two AFCCG's, otherwise what the heck did you sign him for?

If we don't win a Super Bowl before he retires, signing him was a mistake. Period.

Bear in mind, most people voted before the thread was bumped (when Tebow was the starter and there was no Manning).

Question: when's the last time a Peyton Manning-team went 8-8?
Answer: 2001. Every season since then he's won 10 games, and most of the time 12.

Second question: what happened to the Colts last year when Manning didn't play?
Answer: They went from 10-6 to 2-14.

Bottom line...tough schedule or not, barring a major catastrophe the Broncos will win 10 games and the AFC West next year. John Clayton had an interesting column on ESPN.com about a week ago about how many wins a QB brings to the team, and Peyton Manning was near the top. This season will show the Broncos won as many games last year in spite of Tim Tebow as they did because of him.

Mark me down for 10 or more. GO BRONCOS!

People who are expecting 2006 Peyton Manning in 2012 tickle me...

NFLBRONCO · 03-27-2012, 08:59 PM

8-8

would be a failure but, new team new coaches and plenty of holes. Peyton missed all year I expect 10-6 max. SB run starts in 2013.

It may not matter too much to Peyton.
The dude's averaged 12 wins a season, or something ridiculous like that, and also averages something like 26 points a game.
Yeah, he knows a tough schedule when he sees one.
Our defense needs to be up to par, though; and like you've said, it starts at the DT position and across the front line, for that matter...

I actually expect our defense to be better this year, and much improved in points per game allowed...

R8R H8R · 03-27-2012, 09:39 PM

If we fix our DT problem, we should contend for the AFCCG this year. If we don't, we will probably come short, and that would be a disappointment.
