Manning chose

[nobodys hero]

The news just reported Manning chose Denver. A news conference is planned for later in the day. Poor Tebow!

 

edit: I guess Tebow will be traded

Blech. But at least Tebow is likely gone.

[metaldad]

Poor Tick

[treeduck]

They should keep Tebow as a back-up and to line-up on obvious running plays, to protect Manning's neck. They won't want Peyton risking injury diving over the pile in the red zone...

I don't get this one. While Tebow wasn't that great of a QB at the start of last year he was coming along nicely by the end of the season. All he needed was better guys on offense to get the ball to and I think he would've been OK. He's not gonna be a hall of famer or anything but he could've had a nice productive career with the Broncos.

 

At this point Tebow has more upside than Peyton does. I guess Denver wants to win now instead.

It proves that despite Tebow's success last year Elway and co were never really confident in him, and certainly not as a long term QB solution...

It would've been good to see what Tebow could do after what he pulled off last year and with some NFL experience under his belt now.   Peyton can certainly do a lot for the Broncos but what are they gonna get out of him? Maybe two seasons? Then they'll be looking for another QB again.

[treeduck]

On ESPN, Skip Bayless said it's the worst choice he could have made, and a BIG Mistake.

 

THEREFORE he made the best decision possible.

Wow, you went from coveting him to calling him selfish after he doesn't choose your team. Rich.

I think you're right.   I'd rather Manning have gone to the 49ers, but it runs Teblow out of Denver, so now someone else who wants a quarterback who 85% of the time is utter shite can step up and have him.

I posted the following in the Browns thread, but I figured I'd post it here as not many people would go into the Browns thread. It's lonely in there!

 

But notice in the text below, according to the Cleveland radio station, granted not the best source, but Tebow is now on the trading block. After you read the joke my Brother pulled on me, the only part he added to the text was "to Cleveland". So Tebow may be done in Denver because I don't think they have ever really been sold on him, especially Elway.

 

Here is my repost:

 

My brother played the cruelest of jokes on me today. He often forwards me texts from Cleveland radio station WTAM 1100 AM regarding the Browns.

 

Here is what he forwarded today:

 

"WTAM1100: Reports: Peyton Manning to sign with the Broncos, who will then try to trade Tim Tebow to Cleveland, this baring any snags in contract talks."

 

Although I was at first shaken, I responded the following:

 

"Either an elaborate hoax or the Browns just lost me forever!"

 

Even though he has forwarded me probably 75 to 100 text updates from WTAM over the years and never tried any shenanigans, I had a feeling this was either forwarded to him by a friend with the Cleveland part added or he did it. Turns out it was him!

 

If the Browns traded for Tebow, unless it was a 7th round pick or a scrub player, I would lose that 1% hope I have every year that the Browns are gonna actually improve! Granted, having any hope as a Cleveland fan in any sport is !

 

Edited to make it clear...the "To Cleveland" part was added and not in the original text! Thank God!
