Payton Manning coming to Denver
 

Well, it looks as if Payton Manning will be coming to Denver.

I just wish this "who's are quarterback here in Denver?" would just go away. First Cuttler, then Orten, then Tebow, now Manning. Just play some football why don't ya. Jeeeezzzzzzzz :rolleyes:

Looks like all that prayin' Tebow did all season worked...sorta... :rolleyes:

Mixed emotions right now…I think I am feeling a little sick! Need to go home and watch the NFL Network for 3 days straight to get a handle on this one!

I think Tebow's best course of action is to stay with the Broncos - Peyton doesn't have very many seasons left and needs a backup for when (not if) he gets hurt. Manning could be an excellent mentor for Tebow on many aspects of the game, provided both parties were interested in forming that relationship.

Nice spelling

Tewbo and a Manning, hmmmmmm. Not sure about this one. I think PedOnc has pretty good advice. Hell, Manning may be the back-up; he has not played for a year.

It's already been reported that Tebow is on the way out. Several teams have already shown an interest in him. Tebow couldn't handle being in Manning's shadow, even though he does need quite a bit of work, and Tim wouldn't fit into the way Manning runs his offense. Besides, Manning had said awhile ago that he doesn't care for the way that Tebow plays the game, so there would be a lot of friction in the locker room.

C) Product of a public education
D) All of the above.
:D

For a reported 4 year 95 million dollar contract .... I don't think Manning will be riding the pines this season, even if he hasn't played for over a year.

If he did, that would be one hell of an expensive towel boy. :munchin

If Manning is such a great mentor, explain Chris Painter....I don't think Manning mentors; he directs. He can do...I don't think he can teach.

I never would have picked Denver for Manning. It is cold and has no dome. But then, I am no Manning fan.

Out of this process, it seems Denver has sidelined Tebow leaving him completely out of the picture while the recruit Manning. I hope Tebow tells Denver to get bent. He will never be a Manning or Elway. He needs a team that build an offense to his abilities. That is not an Elway run team. He should go to Jax where he could be a hometown hero. They have a spread friendly offense and would draw a crowd.

Tebow is about as selfless of a player as exists in the NFL. If Denver wants him to stay he will. I don't think it's an issue of Tebow not being able to stand Manning. I would believe it more likely that Manning can't stand Tebow.

I would agree if I knew that Manning had put an effort into teaching/mentoring Painter - I can't speak to whether this happened or not. Clearly his efforts were not effective if he had tried to aid in Painter's development.

A mentor, teacher and champion for kids
 

I'm not sure why anyone would ever say that Peyton isn't a good teacher. He clearly demonstrates what it means to be a mentor, teacher and champion for kids in this video. Perhaps Painter was just a terrible student.

NFL channel won't help your emotions brother. :p


I too was never would have thought for a second Manning would pick Denver as "HIS" team. The hell with the cold and no dome. Think about how many games a season have snow around the field?? Maybe one a season, now play offs.. different story.

I am no Manning fan and my Wife hates him. I am really going to like to see what happen the first game. Denver wasn't a Manning fan either. I don't see Manning mentoring going on between tge two of them. Tebow would have two of the best QB in football history to mentor him. Manning will be hurt and a back up will need to step up. I see Tebow going back home to Florida.

Tebow is going to be hard press to leave. When Denver made it to the play offs, I remember the Steelers game. Ever pre-game commentator was giving their expert option on how Tebow could win and so surprised as what he has done. Most were NFL coaches whoms teams didn't make it into the play offs. So I'm basing my option that Tebow will find it hard for a NFL team to take him as their Main Quarterback.

Fan Base for Tebow is bigger than Denver. Here in North Carolina Tebow is the talk due to what he does for charity fundraisers and Military. When he does leave Denver he will have a large following and be welcome in open arms. From his Florida follwoers, right wing religious :p and the all to crazy tebowing-ers.

One thing for sure.. it will be crazy for the next couple of days.. hell this week.

I have always been a Denver fan first, but Peyton has been my favorite player for a long time so I have always rooted for the Colts (as long as they weren't playing Denver). I love Tebow, regardless of his playing style, and will continue to follow and root for the team he goes to (provided it isn't Oakland) :)

My heart hopes he stays in Denver. With the right coaching/mentoring he could be the next Bronco franchise QB.

Tebow should go Jacksonville or Miami so they can sell a ticket next year. I don't think there is a ton of mentoring going on between star NFL QB's and their backups, while Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers surely learned from watching Montana and Favre up close, relations were frosty. From the point of view of the incumbent why should he train up a talented younger guy to take his job in a "replacement business". The onus is on the young guy to watch and learn. Not sure how many selfless guys in the NFL, especially at that position.

It does seems different if you bring in a journeyman QB for a year or so like a Chad Pennington or John Kitna who know they are near the end to help prepare a young first round draft pick, but in that situation everyone knows he is there to mentor and prepare.

If anyone is beating man. Seems like Vegas odds for Denver Broncos with manning are 20:1 all the way to 8:1. When with Tebow at QB yesterday was 75:1.
