![]() Then he can go through the paces at the Broncos facilities. For $20M/yr he owes it to them. If our FO clowns don't insist upon a work out then I want to be the guy to sell those dip****s a car, or a bridge, or a house.

I didn't see the video, and maybe he looked good throwing in a controlled environment without guys breathing down his neck, and without getting his bell rung on a hard sack or whatever. Maybe we can petition the league to ban all types of tackles and pressure on Manning, so this way all this worrying about his neck will be moot. |

No doubt, I would put a bounty on Peyton if I were the Saints though. |

We are flirting with disaster but our FO clowns have, once again, stepped on their ***** handling another QB situation. I swear, these idiots could **** up a wet dream. |

and I'm pretty sure the broncos will put him through a workout, and I'm pretty sure peyton would expect that because nobody's gonna pay him money without seeing him throw and it's amazing how the tebow fans can pull out a video of him working out at ucla in a completely controlled environment with nobody running around trying to tackle tebow either, and it is considered etched in stone that he is taken quantum leaps of improvement.... bottom line is someone asked has anyone seen peyton throw the ball.... I provided proof that somebody has. |

For me, the argument is, is Manning a better option. Signing Manning is going for broke, period. You're signing splashy FA's to big contracts, just to build as fast as you can. Maybe even trading draft picks for other team's backups or disgruntled starters. And then, assuming Manning plays 3 years, you better be able to look back and have something to show for it. Not, well, it was so exciting. Not, he sure threw for a lot of yards. Not, well we lost, but we sure lost pretty, didn't we? This move is to bring home the Lombardi(s). Anything less than a SB win makes this move an abject failure. And I'm not saying Tebow would win a SB in that time, but at least we wouldn't be mortgaging the teams future either. If Tim doesn't show improvement, or the team just stops winning with him, then yeah, you're moving on, without aging FA vets taking up cap space because you thought they would fast track you to the SB. |

![]() Manning at 50% is a million times better then wonder boy is and might ever be. I'd take 1-3 years of real QB play again. I want this to happen to regain league rep for this org and myself too. At the present I don't think this FO can pull off a coup of landing any top player like we did in Elway era.
Be real Manning is not coming here anyways no worries we are back to avg qb play for next 5 yrs. Seriously I see concerns about signing Manning too and his neck issue. |

![]() Manning is just enjoying the wine and dine treatment. You rarely go to first team visited. I think EFX should of sent him on the town with the idiot K prater. He would of showed him a better time.

![]() I really don't understand the argument though that a selling point the Broncos have is playing in a weak division and signing with Miami would be bad for him because they have tougher teams in their division. So we want to spend money on Manning who would really consider such a thing in his decision? Oh no, their division is too hard. And here I was told Tebow should be happy to compete for his job with Manning and be a pro, yet here is a veteran QB who would be scared to compete in a tougher division. Makes so much sense.

You could play your what if game until you are blue in the face… The bottom line is that Manning is a far better option than Tebow. He could also be a great source for Tebow to get better. I hope Manning signs here. Denver makes a few playoff runs, Tebow is used in goal line and short yardage situations and becomes a better QB because Manning is here. But hey, that's just me being optimistic…….feel free to go back to pissing and moaning about **** that hasn't happened yet. |

As it is- Peyton's only beaten Tom once in the Playoffs. I doubt Frankenmanning will fare much better with a defense that spots Tom 40 plus per game. |

The guys over at itsalloverfatman are keeping track of todays tweets. Sounds like he's still in Denver, and Bowlen really impressed him, heh. |

That's not the case with Manning. Not only will Peyton be a huge investment that will draw resources, but with Manning we're far more likely to invest in older veterans who offer short term impact. If that fails, in three years we'll have an aging roster and undeveloped young players. Just like we always did with Shanny. With Tebow you take a building approach. With Manning the approach has to be to win immediately. |

As far as Peyton vs. Tom, if Manning didn't have the Brady/Belichick to contend with his career numbers would be even more impressive. The Pats have just generally been a better all around team, and Brady was sometimes the better QB. No shame in that. |

![]() And this is why the majority of people on this board are liking the idea of bringing Manning in. They're just looking for immediate gratification rather than long-term success. They just don't have the patience for the latter.

![]() Agree, but it's problematic that building around Tebow requires building more towards a less traditional offense than you'd put around Manning. And if Tebow doesn't work out you have to completely shift gears again.

Besides, they've already made it pretty clear they don't plan on customizing the offense to Tebow. Tebow was going to be forced to fit their scheme, and if he failed they were going to move on. This seemed pretty clear from what they had said. Not that we can believe anything they say... |
