Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos

[CrustyRedskin]

Damn Elway looks like hes in his 70's, Pettibones D in the Super Bowl must have really took its toll. But id still take him right now over any of our last 20 starting qbs.

They need a LB huh, wonder who is still available. Lol

I think I really underestimated a) how insulated Peyton has been in Indy his whole career and b) his fear of failure

Why do you say this?

Well it seems like from what several people had been saying the last few days a) he wanted a fairly stable, non-media overwhelming environment-which is understandable and b) he didn't want the "pressure" of "Super Bowl or bust in 2012-13" (such as in San Francisco), which is a bit odd to me. I mean he's 36 years old and he's looking to ease back into another title shot?

Seems odd to not want that pressure, but perhaps he wants a "reasonable" amount of pressure, meaning let's take our best shot at winning it all in the next 3 years, and not this year or bust kind of thing.

He's going to get the SB or bust....pressure wherever he goes..........

Right, it's just not going to be as intense in Denver vs San Fran.

SF went deep into the playoffs last year, expectations for them would have been sky high with Manning there.

The expectations in Denver while high, aren't going to be SB this year or else.

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

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

I think your probably right and I am not sure that an ....over the top inyourface guy like Harbaugh would not be a distraction to PM, not to mention a pain on the ass.

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.

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 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.
