It was a huge risk to just bring in Manning..who missed a season due to three neck surgeries
Even with the wins this yr...if the Broncos lose Sunday...they have lost $50 million switching Tebow w Manning
If John Elways ego didn’t get in the way...the Broncos would have more money to get free agents and sign more rookies. The Broncos are going to have to replace Manning soon....he is one hit away from a football career ender
Agreed! They’d better make it dammm good on Sunday.
That can't be said enough. Elway's giant investment is going to run out in a couple of years, and he'll have to spend it again to keep the wins going. Rather than invest time to develop his existing talent (Tebow), his decision was a quick-fix, trading money for time by purchasing his talent ready-made (Manning).
We saw Manning get sacked mid-season and his next three games suffered from what looked like a crisis of confidence on his part. There's no question that Manning will try to retire before someone breaks his neck (again), and IMO he's only got one or two more seasons left before one or the other happens. There goes Elway's giant investment.
So now that the Broncos are going to the Super Bowl then do you think their fans think Manning was worth the investment?
