Damn, Manning sure did **** the 49ers without vasoline.

[quote=SmootSmack;901045]I guess the understanding before all this was Tebow would no longer be a Bronco if Manning signed with them. Even as a backup.

Simply because it would just be too much of a distraction to have both Manning and Tebow.

I mean maybe he goes to San Francisco :) Josh McDaniels I'm sure would love him in New England, but they'd have to move Hoyer (or Mallett) first

If I'm Tebow and the Broncos just flat out cut me I wonder where I'd want to play though[/quote]

Seems to me the best move for San Fran now is to bring Alex Smith back asap. There isn't a better option for them out there, and from a continuity standpoint it makes sense. Unless they feel ready to move on to Colin Kaepernick.

Did Shanny actually like Tim Tebow in 2010 or was that all bluster? I remember a few interviews with Shanahan giving Tebow gushing reviews.

I don't think he'll come here in a million years, I'm just wondering if Shanny had legitimate interest.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Its shocking that he went to the team that could pay him the most.

please dear jesus let Alex Smith sign with the Dolphins. Love to hear Harbaugh spin this if he lost both.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

How about Tampa for Tebow? I mean I know they just signed Orlovsky but still...

Seriously though, of course Freeman would be the starter but if Tebow is willing to be the backup/gimmick QB for a bit until the right opportunity comes along, Tampa could work.

With Quinn and likely Tebow gone, suddenly Adam Webber is the backup and the Broncos need to make some QB additions (perhaps Clausen reunites with Fox?), I could see them taking Foles or Cousins in the draft

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Does this mean 49ers begin immediate negotiations with Alex Smith?

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

How is the Bronco's Oline?

Yes, plus Miami deserves a QB of Smith's caliber. He fits in with everything else in that organization: dull and makes you wanna barf midgame.

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Miami should pursue Tebow if they don't get Smith. They've made the Wildcat work before, plus, they have nothing else to offer the fans. Might as well make the losing fun to watch.

I personally can't see that happening. Not after the little production of giving Vincent Jackson $55,555,555 (or Ocho Cincos as I've seen it jokingly called) as a "gift" to Josh Freeman. While I don't necessarily think it would be a bad fit, I can't see Tampa unsettling Freeman after a down year if they're actually committed to him

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Wonder what the details of the contract will be. Mort is saying they've been talking about a 5 year/$95 million deal for a couple of weeks

I know that that's more then what the Redskins had been reportedly contemplating. I don't know if the $95 million includes the expected 25-30 million signing bonus

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

Good. Manning finally selected a team. Now, we don't have to discuss this any further. The question now becomes, which NFL team will Tim Tebow be traded to?

Re: Peyton Manning Chooses the Broncos
 

In retrospect Manning did Shanny a solid on this. Him getting out of the Skins biz so early let us make a move to get a qb. Look at all the teams scrambling for QB scraps now.
