This town is split about 55-45 right now anyway. Loads of angry people who have that fear and still think Tebow is the answer. I think its a great move, the guy is one of the best to ever do it and Docs say he is cool. No details on the protections in the contract though I am sure there are MANY.

40 mil guaranteed if he passes a physical. That's a hefty contract.

5 year, 96 million.

anyone who thinks they should have stayed with tebow over going for manning is nuts.

And there are thousands from the backlash I have seen so far. Me, I am happy.

I'd take Manning over every QB in the league except Rodgers, Brady and Brees. So I certainly do not fault the Broncos.. I would have done the same thing if I was Elway.

It would be HILARIOUS, though, if the Broncos do not make the post season or do not improve on their 8 wins from last year. The team straight up sucked with the pocket passer in as QB last year prior to Tebow... not that I'd ever compare Manning and Kyle Orton. The Broncos are made for the running game though.

Yeah, but we're not talking about Eli here, what do you do with Peyton.

Their schedule is murder outside the division so 8-8 is not exactly unrealistic at all. They host some solid teams and travel to rough road games. Brady v. Manning will come early I think.

With Tebow comes drama, and distraction I am fairly sure Peyton wouldn't have signed on for that, and I bet Elway made it clear they would get the guy off the team if and when Peyton agreed. They'll sign a backup perhaps even Curtis the Painter lol. Then draft a future prospect in the mid rounds would be my guess as to what will happen.

Hadn't seen that yet, guarantees more actually, that physical is next year, would be 58MM counting 2012 salary.

"Manning will make $18 million in 2012, according to ESPN NFL Business Analyst Andrew Brandt.

Brandt said if Manning passes a physical in March 2013, he will get a guaranteed salary of $20 million in 2013 and 2014."
