Manning
Some interesting stuff happened in the last few days in the Manning department. That dark horse team that I thought might come out did. The 49ers, who haven't resigned Alex Smith, have been in contact with Manning and worked him out earlier in the week. How they managed to sneak this in with the amount of Media following the Manning situation is surprising, really. But since then the Broncos and Titans have had another meeting with Manning, worked him out and made him pass a physical. It is believed that Manning will make a decision on Monday or Tuesday. Therefore watch this space in the coming days. In my mind if all Manning cared about is winning he should pick the 49ers. They are the best team of the three and really only a QB away from winning a Superbowl.
That is it from me for now as we await the Manning decision ~ Aussie.
So far FA has been a major disappointment to Bronco fans. They feel the chase after Manning has limited our buying of FAs. I personally think the whole thing could've been concocted up to distract Bronco fans from the fact that we were not going to go out and buy a bunch of the higher end FAs anyway. I think the money we rolled over will eventually be used to sign our own FAs that have not taken a better offer elsewhere, to give Prater a contract and to possibly reup Clady this year while we have the extra money. The Manning escapade is a game they are playing. An opportunity to go after a QB of his magnitude doesn't happen everyday. We will lose the bidding war on him. No way do we go higher than SF or Tenn and we really don't compete with quality of players set for a SB run either. Tenn. has even offered a job after football. His wife is from there. He went to college there. Easy choice. We lose a game we never planned on winning. TT is still the man, until Training Camp. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell atleast you didn't see my comment on the last blog :P
ReplyDeleteAfter I reviewed the FAs from last year I knew this would be the method. I except a few signings to happen towards the end of this week. And I agree no way Manning comes here over the other two.
Hopefully we don't draft any QBs because there are no decent ones after the top two. I hope we sign guys like I suggested.
Matt Flynn is going to the sea chickens
ReplyDeleteNooooooooo....we resigned joe mays....(faceplam)
Haha.
ReplyDelete:) thought you would like. It will be interesting if Alex smith goes to the fins.
ReplyDeleteHoly colt chips Batman, we won the bidding war!!!
ReplyDeletePeyton Manning is signing with the Broncos.
I wonder if they will unretire the #18 for him too. :-D
Well I was going to say I didn't post anything last night because I had a headache. But Manning to Denver! Holy crap, I guess we will see how this all plays out....
ReplyDeleteHey JC, I hope we don't unretire it for him, it is not a good practice.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to explain, I am excited for the future but disappointed for Tebow. He got a raw deal out of this.
Hey digger I want to hear your thoughts bro? I believe you are a little disappointed like myself but oh well I guess we must move on.
ReplyDeleteWell sir, I am a lot disappointed. I love Manning. He's a great add. I just don't think I can support EFX in a Tebow trade. I don't like liars and backstabbers. We'll see what happens next, but right now, I can't stand the thought of TT going to somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteAgree a good add but was not really needed. Or me seems like the easy way out. I dont support a trade of Tebow, there is no value plus we still need a back up qb.
ReplyDeleteI hate the lies and backstabbing, but we should expect that is this business. It would suck if Tebow ends up winning more superbowl a than manning with another team. Oh well.
I know Princess is going to be pissed, also means I now need to change the title bar and we may need to change the honor wall too.
