LabattBlue Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 If he wanted titles he would have gone to san fran...I don't think that denver team is good at all. IMO, Manning has become accustomed to doing his own thing, and he had a better chance of that continuing in Denver with Fox, versus in SF with Harbaugh.
KD in CA Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 It really is a great place but Manning could have won 2-3 rings with that san fran defense and gone into the hall with just as many or more as brady. And he still might. Either way, I'm guessing that catching Brady isn't as important to Manning as living and playing somewhere he felt comfortable.
1B4IDie Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Don't discount Tebow leaving CAA in the offseason. The best stop for Manning might be Denver. John Fox has the Defense playing well. Manning can resume his role as OC/QB, Mike McCoy's job would be do essentially what Manning tells you to do. Demarius Thomas, Decker & Royal is a nice WR squad. McGahee can still get the tough yards, (its not like a manning offense hands the ball off much) The O-Line is pretty solid. No conflicting offensive "genius" like in Miami. The Broncos made the playoffs without him, The AFC West is pretty weak (even though it was close there were no dominate teams.) Denver immediately become AFC Super Bowl favorites if the defense plays the same. Elway would love to get rid of Tebow and get a real QB. All the talking heads on ESPN seem to be saying what this guy said 10 days ago.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Pro Football Weekly @ProFootballWkly Per @AdamSchefter, the #Broncos and Manning have agreed on a five-year, $96 million contract. Press conference this afternoon.
truth on hold Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) ESPN just said first 3 years of $58MM are guaranteed. I see this ending in tears for Broncos Edited March 20, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
erynthered Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 FWIW. Link to Peyton's presser. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/watch-peyton-manning-introductory-press-conference-denver-live-180624076.html
26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Peyton and Mario both get 5 years for $96 mil...who gets better value out of their signing?....Bills or Broncos? Edited March 21, 2012 by 26CornerBlitz
truth on hold Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Someone also said it looks like series of consecutive 1yr contracts for 5 yrs, so maybe it's guaranteed only for first year. Seems like a much more reasonable approach for Denver. Edited March 21, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 <br />IMO, Manning has become accustomed to doing his own thing, and he had a better chance of that continuing in Denver with Fox, versus in SF with Harbaugh.<br /> On the subject of Harbaugh, why is he so reverred... I will always remember him as a dweeb QB that would get owned by Ditka. Surely Manning can handle him.
CodeMonkey Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Peyton and Mario both get 5 years for $96 mil...who gets better value out of their signing?....Bills or Broncos? Broncos, assuming Manning can go. A QB contributes far more to the win/loss column that any defensive player possibly can. Edited March 21, 2012 by CodeMonkey
Rico Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Peyton and Mario both get 5 years for $96 mil...who gets better value out of their signing?....Bills or Broncos? Bills. I'm not that sold on Mario's 'greatness", granted, I haven't seen a lot of the Texans over the years either. But by signing him, the Bills once again became relevant, something they totally lost the day Marv was hired as GM. Unless Mario is a total disaster (which I don't think he will be), the move was well worth it. If the Broncos are dreaming of Super Bowl rings now that Manning is their QB, they are bound to be disappointed, just look at his track record in the playoffs. I don't see this ending good for them, not at all.

Elway already got what he wanted, which is a way to get rid of Tebow and get a real franchise QB he can claim credit for developing however, that QB will not be Manning. I suspect that Manning will not play a down for the Broncos but will collect his $18 mil, just like he did last year Elway will tank the season just like the Colts did last year (Curtis Painter is even available) to get Matt Barkley
Bills!Win! Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 We will all be laughing at the Broncos when Manning retires after not winning any superbowls, and then they have no QB's.
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 We will all be laughing at the Broncos when Manning retires after not winning any superbowls, and then they have no QB's. They had no NFL QBs before Manning came, either. So, there's that.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Elway already got what he wanted, which is a way to get rid of Tebow and get a real franchise QB he can claim credit for developing however, that QB will not be Manning.

Tcali Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I dont think the fact that the Broncs play in a bad division was lost on Peyton. He can see some playoff action at 9-7 or 10-6...heck even 8-8.
