Well, we'll find out if true leadership works better than a prayer circle for winning games.

Steee-riiike!
3 years at 8 mill per...good deal for the 9ers. Baalke probably had to bump up the guaranteed money to swing it. but SF got Smith and for 3 years...gotta call that a win for the management imo.

Jets acquired QB Tim Tebow and a 2012 seventh-round pick from the Broncos in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks in 2012.
Also reported that the general manager Mickey Loomis was also hit with an 8-game suspension, former defensive coordiantor Gregg Williams, now with the Rams, has been suspended indefinitely and Assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt was hit with a 6-game suspension without pay as well.
Jets a terrible fit for Tebow by the way. Jets now have the 2 most overrated QBs who can't throw a football in the league. Good times. But...Tebow would be great...if a NFL team played the triple option. LOL

That's what I'm saying. I honestly just can not understand how he didn't go to the Niners. I mean, the dude is obviously richer than god, it's not about the money. He wants to compete, he wants to get at least as many rings as little brother to wear to Thanksgiving. The Niners are so far and away the best choice for that. The Broncos have a decent defense, but they really sort of flopped into the playoffs as the fluke winner of a shitty division that could just have easily gone to the Raiders, Chargers or Chiefs. The Titans aren't going to the Superbowl next year and neither are the Broncos. The Niners might. I don't get it.
Dude, send Captain Jesusfreak, who is crying to the press about missing the South, to go play in New York as a back up for the team in town reserved for the most shitty, rude, obnoxious New Yorkers? Yeah, that's going to end well.

I'm not sure about that. The Titans have some bright points, the Broncos have some bright points, but the Dolphins are pretty damn bad. The Niners are just so obviously the best team he considered that I am a little baffled, but maybe they just couldn't make the $20 mill a year cap room for him and stay competitive.
basically this.
If he wanted to win, he would have gone to SF, money be damned. He wanted the $$$ so he went to Denver.
now that Denver has moved Tebow, it SHOULD be a no brainer for them to sign Mike Wallace away from PIT, they still have the cap room to do it.

The 9ers offered Peyton the best chance to get to the Super Bowl in the shortest time, but I'm going to bet that Harbaugh wouldn't give the reigns of the offense over to Manning with the freedom that he had in Indy.
I think it's a bad move by the Broncos, but Elway's calling the shots, and he's an old gunslinger so he probably sees Manning as a (not so much) younger version of himself.

Remember that he went to Tennessee for college and probably has many friends from that school and area.
What do you imagine they'd say if he told them that he was going to go play for San Francisco? Never underestimate the hatred that the deep south has for 'liberals' and especially the center of the liberal universe...San Francisco (at least the perception).

That is a pretty asinine assumption to make of anyone.
Deep South or not, he will follow the money.
Thanks for your contributions to this thread.

You know, as a Die Hard N.Y. Giants fan, I've spent the last 7 years really getting to know the Manning family and I don't really think that's it. I read a press statement today about Mannings relationship with Elway and I think that is really what sealed it. I believe that. John Elway was an all time great QB who was on the verge of becoming Jim Kelly till he was able to win back to back SUperbowls at the end of his career when he was 37 and 38 years old. I think Peyton KNOWS that he is going to have to struggle to get back into the game at his age and after his injuries and I think that he honestly feels that Elway is the guy that will give him the support he needs to do that. That makes sense to me.
No, I think Elway will tell the Head Coach to let Manning do whatever the fuck he wants, kind of like the Colts after Dungy left.

New Orleans isn't the Deep South, it's south of that.
Different vibe.
As for Peyton having the freedom to run the offense, did you ever wonder if he ran the Colts because he had to? Their coaching situation hasn't been the most stable.

You think Elway will have a lot of involvment in the day to day on-field stuff?
