PEYTON MANNING news, updates and discussion.

I still think Manning signs with Tennessee (If its about the Money) or 49ers (If its about winning a Championship). If its about hanging with John Elway, then I guess he chooses Denver. Do the math.

I was always under the impression that we could offer him a bigger contract due to having more cap space? Am I wrong in saying this?

Hey remember when we thought that if we signed Reggie Wayne on Tuesday it'd be a great sign we were going to get Peyton? Those were the days!

I remember when the Titans and 49ers were not in the race. Those were the days... And there would be no competition left.

I did the math and the Broncos have more money than the Titans. Money won't be the problem.

I think Denver is willing to pay fair market value for a player of his caliber, TN on the other hand is willing to pay an unreasonable amount of money for him.

Incidentally, this was the ONLY way to get out from under Tebow, because all Tebow does is win, and its hard to replace a winner except if you can somehow get a HOF to replace the entrenched Tebow. LMAO. Backfired! No WAY Manning picks Denver unless his wife has a sister or mother living there!

lets not forget we went 2-5 our last 7 games. and only scored 3 points against kc to win division (thanks to Raiders loosing, ty SD)

We'll see. After all of this, if we don't get Manning. It's still hard to imagine Tebow being here next year, it is just so completely evident that we want nothing to do with him.


So good or bad. I think John is doing anything and everything, to ship that nightmare out if town.

It is true that Denver has the cap space (40 mil under cap) and Manning is looking for 30 mil. But the other teams can offer the same by restructuring contracts, and Tennessee offered incentives after Manning's career is over, PLUS they have a better team. Same with 49ers. Tennessee has Chris Johnson and more pieces in place. THey signed Hutchinson and have a better offensive line. Pass protection in Denver last year was HORRIBLE. The only thing that enabled Denver to have any success was Tebow's ability to extend the play. Running QBs can make bad teams and offensive lines look better than they are.

Or... The Broncos can just offer more than Tennessee can pay... If they're all in as they say then I see them doing that. They're not doing anything else with all that cap anyway.

If it comes down to AFC being more important than the NFC (A way to rule out San Fran out of this scenario), then why wouldn't he come here?

The Houston Texans are a much better team than the Titans with or without Peyton in my mind. Kenny Britt is a run in with the law from being suspended 4 games, and he's coming off an ACL injury. Nate Washington and Damian Williams are quality players, but nothing to be excited about. Chris Johnson is a cool player, but I don't think Chris Johnson is going to really sway PM's decision.

The Broncos have a much easier division to win. Heck, they won the division with Tebow playing QB with what looked like a prosthetic arm. Manning would give the Broncos the clear advantage in the division race, which would have to appeal to him due to it being the easiest way to make the playoffs (duh). Demaryius Thomas is just as talented as Britt, probably even more talented. Decker is comparable to Williams/Washington in terms of talent. Now, the thing that could separate Denver the most is the fact that they could still go out there and sign Clark, Saturday (replacing our weakest spot on the line), and trade our first for Mike Wallace.

I know I've said a post similar to this one about 4 times now, but it's still just the way I see it. It's objectively looking at it. The Broncos give Peyton the best chance to get back into the playoffs via an AFC team that is still in this race.

agreed pass protection last year was horrible.
