So Manning's a Bronco...now what?

[husker_99]

 

The last thing they need is 25,000 fans chanting "Tebow Tebow" the first time Peyton throws an INT.

 

This would never happen with Manning. Orton and Brady are crappy qb's who weren't much better than Tebow and experience was the only factor Orton ever started last year. Even with 3 surgeries Manning will be head and shoulders above the rest of the qb's that pulling him will never be a thought to cross Foxs's mind.

I agree that pulling Manning would/should not ever cross Fox's mind BUT there is a certain faction of Broncos fans who are not pleased at all that Manning is coming to Denver. I can guarantee that those chants would be heard at Mile High after sufficient offensive struggle. I don't get it at all but there is that element. Orton was certainly no outstanding talent but I feel he was far from their biggest problem. He wouldn't win you a game but he wouldn't lose ya one either. The Broncos had ten other guys on the field that could take care of that with or without Orton's input. That didn't stop the fans from chanting Tebow when it was obvious Orton wasn't fully to blame. Some people are so in love with Tebow that you could genetically engineer a composite of Johnny U, Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, and every other top QB to ever play the game, and the idiots in Denver would still chant Tebow. The big question in my mind is; what are the Broncos going to do with their O line to protect Manning at the level he was accustomed to in Indy? If I recall, he seemed to get more than a little perturbed when his protection would break down. It will be interesting to see what other changes they make and how much impact one very good QB has on an otherwise mediocre team.

 

the Broncos were 1-4 and coming off a bye when Tebow was installed as qb. I really don't like Tebow that much but he could win you games and that is what you need at qb. If Tebow leaves Denver he will never be a qb anywhere else. He would have to switch positions. Manning is a big risk cause you really don't know what you are getting until he starts getting hit. I can see why fans don't like it that they are trying to get rid of Tebow. He basically got you into the playoffs which Orton would have never done if not replaced. They certainly wouldn't have been an 8-8 team without Tebow.

Career completion percentage stats:

 

Peyton Manning - 64.9

 

Tim Tebow (NFL) - 47.3

 

Taylor Martinez - 56.3 (2011 season)

 

*Note should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

You can't really compare two guys season versus one guy 10+ years in the NFL. that just ridiculous.

I thought Peyton the Bronco should make an appearance in this thread.

I thought it was a gelding. But that raises a whole new set of issues.

I'd hesitate to say Tebow got Denver into the playoffs. It had A LOT more to do with the defense and the opponents' meltdowns than anything else...unless you want to say that Tebow 'asked' God to interject and made the opponents screw up?

I disagree with some of this. Tebow will be a QB somewhere again. I'd like it to be as Mannings backup but it won't be. Tebow's work ethic, attitude, and desire will assure that he plays QB somewhere again. I don't think Manning is a "big" risk. He's got a career of impressive stats that tell the story of what they are getting. And, with a $95M 5 year deal comes about 100 doctors crawling into every orifice of his body. The Broncos aren't doing this deal without checking him out very well. He may very well get a career ender any day but that also goes for every other guy that plays on Sundays. Tebow's attitude, a handful of drive saving plays, and some renewed belief by his fellow players, particularly the defense, coupled with major meltdowns by many of their opponents got them into the playoffs. I agree they wouldn't have been an 8-8 team or made the playoffs without Tebow but with somebody like Manning, I assume they will do much better than 8-8 and will have a much better chance to survive in the playoffs much longer. I love Tebow but anybody that knows anything about football should be able to clearly see that Manning>Tebow. I'm not saying Broncos fans or Tebow fans are idiots. I'm saying the fans that would rather have Tebow than Manning are idiots or have reasons that have nothing to do with football.

Good post. Reasonable. Go to the Denver Post's website and try to find that. The Tebowists/anti-Tebowists are about ready to kill each other.

I love this. last season people said that Tebow was not the reason the donkeys were winning and the donkey fans argued that Tebow is the man upstairs and that is why they are winning! Now Tebow is not an NFL qb according to donkey fans and they are heading to the SB with Peyton Manning and his bum neck. The donkeys just blew tons of money on an old broken qb while missing out on good free agents while the other teams in the AFC west bettered their whole teams rather than one position.

 

I for one cant wait for Peyton to be reintroduced to Hali and Dorsey.

That's cute...but who are the 'donkeys'? Better yet...who are you?

Perhaps this will remind you donkey fan.

 

 

And im just one of many Chiefs fans and for the matter Charger and Raider fans that will be laughing when donkey world comes crashing down as Peyton gets sacked one last time and that guy you all had a Tebowner for is sitting in NYC laughing!

Manning goes to Denver, Tebow gets traded to the Dolphins.

 

1st year - Manning takes Broncos to the playoffs and that is as far as it goes. Tebow has a mediocre debut in Miami.

2nd year - Broncos go to the playoffs again under Manning, so does the Dolphins. Tebow gets revenge by knocking off the Broncos.

3rd year - Broncos and Dolphins go back to the playoffs, Broncos win this time in the AFC championship game to go and win the Super Bowl.

4th year - Manning and the Broncos don't make it to the playoffs but the Dolphins and Tebow make it to the playoffs.

5th year - Broncos don't make it to the playoffs yet again, Manning retires and Tebow wins his first Super Bowl with the Dolphins.

6th year: Manning is fishing off the coast of Miami in his retirement yacht, sipping a glass of ice water. Tebow walks out to him and turns it into a glass of wine.

Something about San Fran jumping in at the last minute tells me that Peyton is okay physically. The biggest concern teams had about Peyton was his arm strength and his ability to make throws. I think those questions have been answered.

 

The obvious landing spot for Tebow is Jacksonville. He's a god down there, and he could fill some seats until they find a legit QB.

Except the other teams haven't bettered themselves that much anyways.
