Not sure where you get this from. We did have a interest in Manning, and this was stated sometime ago from regular ES insiders. The options were....
Manning + later round drafted QB to groom
RGIII + quality vet
Tannehill + quality vet
These were all serious options for the Redskins. There was no "throwing darts" to it at all. All those teams you mentioned had serious interest in Manning, now whether Manning had serious interest in them is a different story.
Completely agree with your response, and when are we going to get that quality Vet backup NC? :)

I'm no doctor...but does the thin Denver air benefit Peyton (and his neck) at all?
High altitude is not a neuro-protective factor...

Exactly.
Tebow's impact especially for a small market team like the Jags would be huge.
Tebow is like heroine. Makes you feel so good when he's on your team (eeking out wins) but in reality he's really bad for your health (going deep in the playoffs) and when you try to quit you go through terrible withdrawals (fan backlash).
Which brings me to my next point......How Peyton Manning is like methadone.

I still believe Manning was better suited for the 49ers. They definitely would have been super bowl contenders. Broncos...their good but not great. Need a lot of help on their 2ndary and w/ their LBs

@RealSkipBayless: Looks like Peyton wanted to be anti-LeBron, avoid joining best team in need of QB: Niners. Of teams that wanted him, took biggest challenge
At first I was sort of on this side of things too, but then remembered what Tebow did with that team and realised no way manning can't do better with the same team.
I agree that 49ers were a better fit though, but still think manning could win a SB with the broncos.

I am glad Peyton didnt choose the Niners, keep him out if the conference.

Haha I guess it wasn't a lie that he doesn't want to play in the same conference as Eli.

I agree. We wouldn't want Peyton to stunt our path to the superbowl this year...
