Tebow broke an unwritten NFL rule: It's okay to be a Christian, as long as you keep it in the closet.

Seems to me Tebow might be a good fit in Miami. This might easily end up being the best thing that could have happened. I’m not sure how it gives the haters any reason to crow.

If I were Manning, I’d be carefull to stay off the field during thunder storms.

“If Broncos management reaps what it has sown, the team will return to worst from first in its division.”

I’ll be looking forward to it.

I admire Tebow but this move has nothing to do with his outspoken Christianity. It’s not personal, it’s business

It was a business decision and absolutely NOTHING to do with religion. However, I guess blaming religion is dramatic and will allow people to yell and scream for a day or two. First of all, Tebow STILL does not have a Superbowl. Manning has at least a couple. Who would you take if you were an employer? A guy who has run his own business successfully for 15 years or a guy who just graduated from college? Every decision is about money!!!!

I like Tebow and what he stands for, but he won’t be the Broncos QB, not because of his religion, but because he was absolutely terrible 90% of the time. Plus, Manning may be the greatest QB ever....certainly top 10. Anyone in need of a QB would want him if he’s near 100%...and the Broncos really need a QB.

I don’t think Tebow’s religion had anything to do with this. It’s Peyton Manning we’re talking about, not Curtis Painter.

Who knows what the motives were for getting rid of Tebow.

Certainly no one here knows for sure.

Personally, I'm hoping Oakland picks him up;)

" If Broncos management reaps what it has sown, the team will return to worst from first in its division. "

But Tebow isn't Jesus.

If Tebow was laying down a prayer rug every game he’d be the hottest property in the NFL.

Exactly. I’m well past tired of the Billy Budd treatment. Peyton Manning is one of the best ever. If he has anything left it will be light years better to say nothing of his unparalleled knowledge of the game. An easy decision from a football perspective.

Why do I care? Peyton is a great quarterback and a great entertainer; that’s what he’s paid to be. Good luck to him. It is, on the other hand, a sizeable gamble on Denvers’ part. If he crashes, it’s their a$$. One thing for sure; Tim Tebow is going to be a major winner no matter where, or if, he plays, period. Tim Tebow doesn’t need Denver, or Manning, or NFL football, to achieve fulfillment or to be a force. He already has, and is.

Love Peyton and Love Timmy...
but starting to hate Broncos to take on an iffy though proven QB by bumping a scrambler who, while not pretty on the field, got the team to the play-offs and refused to take any credit for it...
Yeah, it’s business but business without some sentiment is cold-blooded...
tell the fans to keep sentiment out of it and see what you get....

Funny thing... Tebow’s getting more press over this than Manning is. Lots of people will turn on the tube this fall to watch Tebow, wherever he goes. I wonder how many will do the same for Manning?

This is the problem with the “persecuted” section of Christianity, they think everything bad that happens to everybody who wears a cross happens because of the cross. Meanwhile back in reality any team would chuck aside a QB with a completion percentage under 50 for Peyton Manning. Yeah Peyton is old and we can’t be sure about that neck, but he’s still Peyton Manning who has rewritten half the QB record book. And yeah Tebow is a nice guy and a team leader, but he’s still got a completion percentage that Rex Grossman could make fun of. There’s tons of wide open Christians in the NFL keeping their jobs because their good at them, Tebow is getting traded away because he isn’t good at it.

Anybody that pays attention to football knows what the motives were. When given the choice between a Hall of Famer and nice guy that doesn’t really do the job well you pick the guy bound for Canton every single time. Sucks for the nice guy, but that’s life. And meanwhile there’s plenty of teams out there that aren’t in the hunt for the playoffs that will pickup a high profile popular player just because he puts butts in the seats.

Let's keep that performance in perspective... he took his team to the playoffs against the odds. Not bad for a rookie.

Lots of people seem to want to take potshots at Tebow because he's no Joe Montana. Well, he's a first-year quarterback; I'd say it's too soon to tell whether he's Joe Montana or not.
