I swear this is all leading up to Elway running for office.
 
Yes.

It will get real ugly when the Broncos aren't winning games. Even if Peyton is playing, and playing well.

Broncos miss the playoffs and heads will roll.
Come on. I love Tebow and everyone here knows that sans Manning I was looking forward to Tebow improving and seeing if he could do it. Last year it was easy to see that the thing missing was a QB with consistency. If it was anybody other than Tebow it would be viewed in a different light. Manning is an upgrade plain and simple. If Sanchez got replaced by Rodgers for instance would we hear the same synpathy? Not likely. I wish nothing but the best for Tebow, but this is a huge upgrade at the most important position. Good job Elway.
 
I don't get why he went to Denver as opposed to San Fran. If the 9ers had a QB like him at the helm last year they would have made the SB. Great defense, great Oline, good HC, stud TE, great RB. Denver has an amazing pass rush and an underrated defense but they lack the offensive pieces you would think someone in Peyton's situation would want. Why spend your last years not making the playoffs when you could go to a team and take them to the SB?

Elway must have been really compelling.

He didn't go to San Fran because they have a head coach who is intimately involved in the offense. He didn't want to butt heads. Denver is the absolute perfect fit.

Also, Peypey is scared of HoFlynnsanity

Harbaugh wasn't going to let Peyton run his offense. Harbaugh wants to have 3 tight ends and run the ball.

EDIT: Beaten.
 
WOO I just heard we can get rid of Tebow!
Peyton Manning is a nice side bonus to that.

Let someone else bend the team's back around his playstyle now.
 
And Jeff Saturday is coming to Denver as well.

49ers last week: "Hey Davis, Moss, Manningham, and Crabtree, we might be signing Manning!"

Moss: "Alright someone who can throw me the deep pass."

Manningham: "Cool, hope he can still throw. I will catch those balls."

Davis: "He likes throwing to TEs and I can catch so awesome."

Crabtree: "Um ok."

49ers now: "He chose the Broncos. Not sure if we can get Smith."

Moss: "Who is going to throw me the deep pass?"

Manningham: "But I signed for the Manning to Manning.....ham connection I was promised."

Davis: "Guess I will still get the most catches."

Crabtree: "Um ok."

Ok, I am just bored, worried and pissed. (Niners fan)
 
No. Just no.

Seriously I need a logical explanation from a Dolphins here as to why you're anti-Tebow.

He managed to do something your team hasn't done in 12 years. Win a playoff game.

You don't have a chance of winning anything season. If you're going to suck, at least do it in entertaining fashion. And maybe lightning in a bottle will strike twice.
 
Did he sign? Thought he was just visiting, though it seems obvious he intends to sign.

Yeah, just visiting, but yeah, he'll probably sign.
 
Ok, now get Smith back. I still like our chances with him as QB.

Or let's not spend anything on another QB, and use that cap space to get Mike Wallace from the Steelers.

Maybe Kaepernick with a receiving corps consisting of Wallace, Moss, Crabtree and Manningham wouldn't be so bad as well?

Anyway, I love our front office for going after Peypey. Shows they're willing to do anything to make us serious contenders. Almost forgot how that felt between 2003 and 2010...
 
Why in the world would tebow go to the pats? Not only would God be playing under the devil reincarnate but I doubt he'd look kindly on their incessant "bending" of the rules. Dude's got morals.

Not to mention the fact that a backup QB is not something they should be looking at until they get a real defense.

That makes sense then. I didn't know Harbaugh's coaching style. You would think he would move aside to land peyton, but guess not haha.

Congrats, Denver.
 
who are they gonna trade for tebow, hernandez? 0_o :/

Bryan Hoyer for Tebow straight up. That gives Denver the perfect back-up and Elway finally has to stop with acting like he likes Tebow.

Tebow will bring the help from God to the Pats and insurance for when Brady retires and if Mallett gets injured. Plus the Tebow-Hernandez combo won a championship before.

Manning is a smart man. He calculated that due to the high elevation of Denver, the gravitational force acting on his massive cranium will decrease ever so slightly, ensuring he can play for years to come.

Lost in all of this talk of how players don't want to play for Miami is that they would probably still choose Miami over Cleveland. Have any of the major QB's even visited Cleveland?

It's amazing how badly bad management can tarnish a franchise for years.

I'm still surprised free agents even consider coming to Detroit after the Millen debacle.
