Re: Peyton

Looks like it's down between Denver and Arizona now. Seattle couldn't even get an interview with him.

Re: Peyton

I haven't paid too much attention to the details the last few days, but from what I've seen, my gut says he's going to Denver.

Re: Peyton

Though I figure the weather would be a bigtime sticking point in the process, I have thought if anyone could sell the mile high city to Peyton , it would be Elway.
I felt with Eli in same conference, it would come down to Denver and Miami.
Probably know in the next several days.

It's as if The Jets have just decided "Well, we spent a 1st-round pick on him so he's gotta be top tier, right?" To have spent three years in the NFL and not yet had a season QB rating of 80 is pathetic in my book. Especially for a first round draft pick who gets as much hype as he does.

Re: Peyton

I hope he goes to the Broncos, it eliminates Tebowmania and I always like the Dan Reeves/Elway Broncos of the late 80's.

Tying themselves to Sanchez longer buys them a little cap space now.

Re: Peyton

Vic Lombardi of CBS 4 Denver reports that the Broncos are now "95 percent sure" they will sign free agent Peyton Manning after he reached out to the team late Sunday night.

If the Broncos trade Tebow to Jacksonville then everyone wins.

I'm guessing the Broncos don't have a whole lot of leverage.

Yeah but Jacksonville wants him bad. If DEN can find another team that could serve as a stalking horse, they could leverage the Jags for a little more.

Re: Peyton

So much for promises that Tebow would go into training camp as the starter...

Quote:
Tebowmania isn’t going to end anytime soon. Broncos executive John Elway confirmed the obvious on Monday, saying that Tim Tebow has “earned” the right to be the starting quarterback heading into training camp next year.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...training-camp/

Things change in business. No one's guaranteed anything. It was pointless for the Press to try to nail down Elway on Tebow's future

I don't know. They invested a #1 pick in Gabbert. I don't know if they're ready to pull the plug on that and bringing Tebowmania to town is doing exactly that
