Probably the best thing for that franchise but Gene Smith (Jags GM) apparently hates the idea of Tebow being his QB more then Elway.

i don't see how tim tebow solves any team's qb problem. his mechanics are slop and i doubt he's going to master the mental side of the position, having scored 22 on the wonderlic

By the way, think I got my info mixed up. He's meeting the Titans in Houston. Not the Texans

Wonder if PM would have come around to us eventually?!

Who knows. Probably not.

Manning not thrilled with Miami...

Chris Wesseling ‏ @ChrisWesseling
NFLN's @JeffDarlington reported earlier Manning was "underwhelmed with the structure in place" with the Dolphins.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

That shouldn't surprise anyone.

I think the reason Manning doesn't want to go to miami is cause he doesn't want to hear Brandon Marshall shouting in his ear to throw him the ball every other play.

Still can't believe it might be Denver

As for Miami, here's something I told the mods last week

"Have heard Manning is using Miami and isn't serious about playing there"

Prob true if they came guns blazing with guaranteed money.

I doubt it. Seems more like a courtesy then anything else. If Manning really wanted to use Miami he would sell it like a play action fake and actually visit the team instead of having them come to him in Indy.

I mean this is Peyton Manning we're talking about, he can practically name his own price.

Although I am sure that having a team come with the idea that they will do "whatever it takes" to get Manning will help in the negotiations. I am sure Manning can name his price, but he probably would just say, well Miami is offering this...

Still the more I think about it, the more that I feel Miami is not the place that is perfect for Manning. I am sure the league would love to see Manning vs. Brady twice a year. But I am thinking that Manning may look for the most convenient route to the playoffs, and that may be either Denver or Zona.

Interesting, TBH besides the weather Denver truly does give him a good chance to win quickly and ride off into the Sunset with another ring.

I tend to think Manning should bide his time a bit here, maybe even put the "tour" on hold and go back to rehabing/training for upcoming workouts. What if the Niners and Smith struggle to find common ground? What if the Texans decide they want to seriously pursue the Lombardi? Those two teams are instant contenders with a healthy Peyton. Denver? I dunno...

[Evilgrin]

Denver has a pretty good O line, probably the best of all the teams contending for him.
