Peyton Manning picks Broncos (Tebow Shown the Door)

Peyton Manning will become the next quarterback of the Denver Broncos, barring a snag during intensified contract negotiations that have commenced under the instruction of the four-time MVP to his agent Tom Condon, according to multiple sources.

Once the Manning deal becomes official, Denver will try to trade Tim Tebow, according to sources.

Hope Miami wants him.

Me too, but with Miami's new coach, no way. I'd rather have Tebow than the coach, though. Let Tebow coach and be QB.

[ssaftler]

The Lions should pick up Tebow that would be great.

Too Roman. LOL!

[CORedneck]

Big mistake to trade off Tebow and pickup Manning considering his age and neck problems.

[G Larry]

Silly me!

Confusing 4 spinal surgeries with “injuries”....

[libdestroyer]

God is on Tebow’s side I think... :)

[Dr. Sivana]

Sign Tebow anyway and waive Steve McGee. Anything to wake up Romo.

Wait until Tebow finds out that the Cowboys are the only NFL team that donates directly to Planned Parenthood.

Wonder why the Broncos don’t keep Tebow for a year and have him train with Manning & Elway?
Elway was planning on training him during the off-season anyway. That way, he’d have been insurance in case Manning got re-injured.

May G-d Bless Payton, but the Broncos are and probably will be last this season when his neck is an issue, again, with no “Hail Mary” Tebow to keep the crowd happy.

Do the Broncos play the Saints this year? If so, I wonder what the "bounty" will be on putting Payton in a wheelchair.

[commish]

If Denver is smart they will keep Tebow and play him as a “Slash” player giving him around 10-15 touches a game where he can be handed off to, throw, or go out as a reciever.

All the while he can continue to learn and hone his QB skills, and in 2-4 years when Peyton hangs em up he would be ready to step in as starter.

The exact schedule’s not out yet, but the Bronco’s will be playing the Saints in 2012. Any bets on whether Manning will survive that game???

As a Rams fan, I can tell you that QB controversies can be a huge distraction in the modern game. Gone are the days when you could platoon two HoF QBs in their prime (Waterfield/Van Brocklin).

[Revolting cat!]

I wouldn’t wanna be in Peyton’s Place.

[poobear]

I hate to think that but they certainly know his “weaknesses” by now.

Finally I can get back to disliking the Broncos, golden boy John Elway even ticked me off last season.

Florida really needs a good NFL team. G-d help us!

Hopefully Tebow can turn around the Jags. He would certainly fill the stands for a change.

Sports columist Freeman at sportsline.com reports "that the Broncos will attempt to trade Tim Tebow and "do not care" what they get for him."

I believe the Broncos would just like to get rid of Tebow, even if someone would just claim him and pay him his salary owed? Elway despises Tebow for some reason?

[Osage Orange]

You're gonna have to elaborate on the comment..."the often injured Manning"....in the context of your statement.

Care to?

I opened up a new tab and thought that’s what I saw, should have actually clicked the link.

[CommieCutter]

I get what he’s saying but there’s no need to act like he’s the Ken Griffy Jr. of the NFL.

[CommieCutter]

I’m surprised he went to Denver a little..but what I’m more surprised about is that he signed for 5 years.

I think his window is about 3 years. I don’t know what to think about this spinal rehabilitation but it could be his window is 3 plays.

If he’s healthy, stays healthy, the Broncos are instant SB contenders.
