Well said, sir. And thank you.

Yes...yes...yes...as a lifetime Bronco fan and Colorado native...GOOD DAY TO BE A BRONCO FANYou guys can have him. Though I think it's very unwise to toss Tim Tebow to the curb for a 36-year-old QB that is past his prime and coming off what was close to being a career-ending injury. At best, he's got maybe 2-3 good years left in him. Let's hope the Bronco's offensive line can protect him because one hard hit could end his career for good.
As for Tebow, I hope the Patriots are able to trade for him. Tom Brady is only a couple years younger than Peyton and it's time to start grooming a replacement QB of the future. Also, New England is a very religious area and Tebow will fit in much better around these parts.

I arrived in Denver 1967, Floyd Little's rookie year. Became a Bronco fan early on and attended my first game (preseason) in 1968. Became a Bronco season ticket holder in 1977 & 35 years later I still have the same seats.
Peyton Manning coming to the Broncos will go down as a memorable moment in Bronco history ... no question.
Hopefully it works out in a positive fashion for Peyton and his new team the Denver Broncos. John Elway has a lot at stake as well ... I'm sure he would endorse my sentiments.

I really dont care about any of this, except that I think Manning is running a terrible risk of being badly and permanently injured.
****************************
Agree. I think Manning would have been smart to negotiate a deal with the Broncos as the Quarterback Coach to Tebow and also Assistant Offensive Coordinator.
With the Colts, Manning was basically running the offense and calling the majority of the plays.

You’re right. Since the NFL Draft is our Super Bowl I don’t know what I was thinking.

Jesus Christ, give it a rest. Who appointed you the Judge of Morality for the AFC?
If you are addressing Jesus, you might know the answer to your question is that nobody appointed Him the judge of Morality. As the creator - God, He has all authority so no lower authority could appoint Him.
Lookee here Reverend, don't even try lecturing me. Get out of your pompous pulpit and quit with the judgment of people you don't even know.
If on the other hand you are blaspheming Him in addressing me, you should realize that He declares that He will not hold those guiltless who use His name in vain.
I answer to Jesus, not to you asswipe.
If you are questioning what moral standard that I am applying to the AFC it is His standard. Jesus himself reveals the standard and is Himself the standard. You might not like Him nor His standard, for you are utter unable to keep it, but if you are willing to humble yourself and admit your own moral failings and seek Jesus Himself, he will take your yoke of sin and place his yoke upon you which is light and find rest for your soul.
Get bent, you freakin' Pharisee. Your closet ain't empty.

My hat is off to John Elway for pulling out all the stops to make this happen. I really didn't think the Broncos could get him.
Elway understands what is needed to compete at a Super Bowl level versus just a playoff spot level. Nothing against Tim Tebow - I like the guy and think he's an asset to the team - but when one of the best QB's to play the game comes on the free agent market it's a once in a generation opportunity.
This could erase several mistakes from the McDaniel era.
To: BubbaJunebug
I was thinking the same thing. How stable is his neck? I would not put all my eggs in one basket over such an iffy recovery. I hope the money is guaranteed.
To: GonzoGOP
Manning is 10 years older than Rodgers and only has one or two realistic years ahead of him.
To: Kazan
Throw in dawkins to show the kid the ropes and get the fans and the media to accept him...then yeah.. “Welcome to Philly Mr Tebow!

f I?d been the Skins? offensive coordinator I?d have told Patrick Ramsey to take one step and throw the ball, that?s all anybody there was paying for or deserved or rated.I agree.
To: harpu
Well...let’s see...four neck surgeries in the last 18 months and 36 years-old might be indicators. And, while he is neither stupid nor in any difficulty financially, like other star professional athletes he may well be emotionally averse to leaving the game and giving up the limelight. If so, he wouldn’t be the first athlete to succumb. In Manning’s case, however, it might carry a very high price tag.

All speculation on your part. Not everything is about politics or religion. Sometimes personnel directors just want to get the best people available.

To: cookcounty
Exactly, its a win now league. I listen to Pat Kirwan and Gil Brandt, and they both say there is constantly a battle in front offices between coaches/owenrs and personnel departments. The personnel depts (scouts, GMs) try to acquire long term talent, but coaches are almost always focused on how do we win a Super Bowl this year. The owner is usually a tiebreaker, but most of the time looks for the instant win himself (Redskins, Cowboys, Raiders). The coaches dont have the luxury of waiting 5 years for the GM’s plans to come true.
If Denver wins a SB with Peyton, it will have been worth it.

I guess you are trying out for “offensive line”. Offensive yes, but raging blithering non-sense. Remember you shouldn’t post without your medication.

Hold our judgment and let’s see how Peyton does two and a half miles up above sea level.
