Actually kind of makes sense:

Could Tim Tebow wind up with the Patriots? - The Buzz - Boston.com sports news

Not to me. I mean Tom Brady, Brian Hoyer, and Ryan Mallet? Ones a franchise QB and the other two are future trade assets as well as quality back ups.

Not sure where you get this from. We did have a interest in Manning, and this was stated sometime ago from regular ES insiders. The options were....

Manning + later round drafted QB to groom
RGIII + quality vet
Tannehill + quality vet

These were all serious options for the Redskins. There was no "throwing darts" to it at all. All those teams you mentioned had serious interest in Manning, now whether Manning had serious interest in them is a different story.

Completely agree with your response, and when are we going to get that quality Vet backup NC?

I think a lot of people actually thought SF made sense. And some thought maybe Tennessee, simply because of geography really.

I don't think anyone had Denver...except Colin Cowherd

Just another reason for CC to gloat. SS no offense but I really can't stand his analysis sometimes. He makes some sense, but he can really get off on tangents at times.

Manning to the Broncos really makes sense to me, but the weather may play a factor if he fails to win there.

I still believe Manning was better suited for the 49ers. They definitely would have been super bowl contenders. Broncos...their good but not great. Need a lot of help on their 2ndary and w/ their LBs

@RealSkipBayless: Looks like Peyton wanted to be anti-LeBron, avoid joining best team in need of QB: Niners. Of teams that wanted him, took biggest challenge

At first I was sort of on this side of things too, but then remembered what Tebow did with that team and realised no way manning can't do better with the same team.
I agree that 49ers were a better fit though, but still think manning could win a SB with the broncos.

I am glad Peyton didnt choose the Niners, keep him out if the conference.

Haha I guess it wasn't a lie that he doesn't want to play in the same conference as Eli.

I agree. We wouldn't want Peyton to stunt our path to the superbowl this year...
