They have already traded their backup QB Brady Quinn so if they trade Tebow they’ll have to get at least one other QB.

As I’ve posted on other threads, I think Manning and Tebow along w/ another running back would make an extremely potent formation. Two passing and two running potentials.
Tough to defend.

As clarification..

I think Manning and Tebow along w/ another running back in the same backfield would make an extremely potent formation

Incorrect. Quinn was a free agent and left on his own. No loss as evidenced by his lackluster performance against Arizona last September.

so if they trade Tebow they’ll have to get at least one other QB.

You're forgetting about Adam Weber who remains but if they deal Tebow they'll definitiely get an experienced backup.

Vinnie, you are a genius. I have been waiting for some team to try this. I thought about it back when Philadelphia had McNabb and Vick, and there was controversy over which one should start. Why not have them both in the backfield, have the other be a rusher, outlet or designed passer? Could use lots of motion to separate the two so the pass rush would have to divide. With Vick, you don't lose a rusher, but you now have to defend 2 passers. Defenses would spend years trying to figure out what to do.

Maybe someone will try it one of these days.

Manning is old slow and skinny, having him in as a decoy is just a waste of a player on the field. And with Tebow’s inaccuracy having them both on the field and letting Tebow throw his doomed ducks will drive Manning insane.
