Especially when you sign a 5yr/95mil contract.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

I wouldn't pay him that kind of money. He's coming off a serious injury, missing an entire year, new team, playing outside in bad weather. Chances are Denver's not getting the old Peyton IMO.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

I definitely think going to a team that does not have the media frenzy attached to it like a Dallas, New York, or Washington is probably what won out for Peyton. Although, I can't see Tennessee being one of those "media frenzy" teams.

That's why you structure a deal that protects you in case his neck remains a problem. It's doubtful he sees a lot of that money away. It will likely be a 3 year deal in reality.

Even if he's 75% of what he was, he's still very good.

I'd say there is a small chance they get to a SB in 3 years. They better start getting Manning better help then what they got. I do see them 10 wins every year though

If they knock the Ravens out every year of the playoffs, that is a WIN for me!

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

I think the Broncos will end up with Mike Wallace.

Make that 96 million.

True to parameters, Manning agrees to 5-year, $96-million deal, will sign it & 3 p.m. ET presser to introduce new #Broncos QB is on [/SIZE][/B]

Some more details (not in bold, :) )

Andrew Brandt ‏ @adbrandt
Am being told Peyton will make $18 million in 2012. There is an injury waiver based on physical in 2013. More to come.

I'd be curious to know what the Titans and 49ers were offering him.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Was the 18 supposed to be symbolic? Thank goodness he's not Wayne Gretzky

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

I'm just curious to know whether Manning actually came out and said that this is not about the money or if that is all speculation from the sports talking heads. Given the player of his caliber, even if he did say that I would find it hard to believe he wouldn't be given a big contract due to the market for him (didn't Miami come out guns blazing with $$ to get Manning?)

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

John Elway chose an old veteran over a young QB who led his team to the playoffs last season. One flaw in Tebow's game is his insane inaccuracy. Completing only 46% of his passes is extremely poor. But Tebow, while not a conventional quarterback, doesn't turn the ball over much. But Elway would rather have a QB who hasn't played since the 2010 playoffs. He choosing a QB who is coming off of three reportedly neck surgeries. He's choosing an aging QB. Peyton Manning is a huge risk. We'll just have to wait and see what Manning brings to this Denver team. I'm not a Tebow fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn't have thrown Tebow to the crocodiles in favor of Manning.

Sorry, but when I was stationed at fort Carson in colorado springs, I had broncos football shoved down my throat at all times. The media frenzy there I believe is stronger and the fan base more passionate than for even the Redskins. He will have pressure a plenty in Denver, write that down.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Just learned that #18 is retired by the Broncos.

Apparently, Frank Tripucka has said he would be willing to un-retire it for Manning.

He may end up wearing #16 again.

Manning has a better shot at the superbowl with the 49ers than the Broncos.

Umm the 49ers defense was one of the best ever this year. The Broncos was one of the most overrated. Their secondary and MLB got carved up by Brady worse than any other team I've seen this year. And their DL can't stop the run that well.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

anyone can get carved up by brady. they're both good defenses. i can't see denver's as overrated for the simple fact that they won several games with tim tebow as their qb. there is nothing more demoralizing for a defensive player than knowing his offense can't be counted on to put points on the board

I don't think the Broncos defense compares to the 49ers, but they were one of the reasons the Broncos won all those games under Tebow. Plus, the Pats offensive attack is pretty elite (when healthy), very few defenses are going to stop them. Denver has some defensive weaknesses, however if Manning is able to produce, it will benefit the defense a lot (something I think will happen here with RG3).

This idea brought to you by the people at ESPN.



So sick of hearing this joke.

Peyton Manning is not intimidated by his little brother.

Peyton Manning doesn't care about learning a new system or playbook.

Apparently, Peyton Manning doesn't care about the weather either.

It's not about intimidation; it's having the Super Bowl be a Manning Bowl too.

John Fox has shown he's a really flexible guy.

And isn't Manning's record on the road not that bad anyway? Plus, the thinner air could play to his advantage in terms of chucking it deep.

That wasn't the media's parrot line over the past few weeks. They specifically said he "wouldn't want to face his brother in the playoffs." :doh:

Not at all.
