If Peyton stays healthy and performs as well as early last year. I think he deserves to play as long as he is well above the average QB. I do not think winning the Super Bowl should be a must for him to stay on, but winning at least one playoff game should be a must. Hell, he could easily be out this year if he is hit more. I am certainly prepaired mentally to move on too someone else.
lol Chiefs you lose
If they keep him on for another year after this, that's cool with me. Ideally, I would like this to be the last year.
If Manning leaves after this year, all that money goes back into signing the guys that will be the core of the retooling. If Brock can be decent, we can be right back in the playoff hunt. Maybe not contenders right away, but a competitive team that could build into something good.
Wishful thinking of course, but it really depends on Brock because Elway will build a good team around him.
