This is definitely a surprise, I wonder what made Broncos more appealing to Manning, compared to 49ers? Both have great defense but I believe 49ers have better weapons than Broncos.
Probably how much Denver was willing to offer compared to SF

It's Eli's fault.

I thought this made some sense

Plus at the end of the day I think he wanted to stay in the AFC.

I assumed money would not matter to Manning, considering how much he had made in last 10 years with Colts and advertisements. Guess I was wrong..

As much as I love Tebow, no thanks.

Denver will allow Manning to run the offense his own way. And if they pull off the trade for Mike Wallace that SS spoke of previously, they'll potentially have one of the best WR trios (Wallace, Thomas, Decker) in the league. If McGahee and Moreno stay healthy and Manning gets back on track, Denver went from eeking out a win vs the Steelers and getting slammed by the Patriots in the playoffs to a team that could not only whip everyone in the West, but be the team to beat in the AFC.

I wonder how soon Dallas Clark and Jeff Saturday land in Denver
And I also wonder if Bud Adams will still consider cutting Hasselbeck and saving $5 million. I would hope not

Why not? Locker looked like he was ready to start when he came in those few times.
