Yup. Elway ditched Tebow and signed Manning because he didn't have the patience to develop a winning lineup. He gambled on buying one "ready made", and he lost his bet. The only thing he got for his money was notoriety.
....if Manning goes, whom do the Broncos turn to at QB?
Elway's right back where he was, pre-Manning, only now he's poorer and has egg on his face. I think he's going to blow a lot of cash and trade a lot of draft picks to secure another Manning. I don't think Elway has the patience to develop a team, let alone a quarterback.
Jay Cutler may be available.
