And Peyton Manning is the quarterback of (drum roll please)...
The Denver Broncos.
Can't say I saw that one coming (I though he was a lock for Tennessee, for several reasons).
What'll happen to Tebow? :b
Between that and Flynn going to Seattle, I have a lot of non-Packer related football I'm actually interested in this upcoming season.
Living just north of Denver (and being a Bronco fan) this is awesome, with a capital A! I can't wait to see Peyton in orange as we continue building from last season.
Tim Tebow is going to get traded or released. I would guess Jacksonville would make the biggest push for him. I hate to see the kid go - he's played well enough to win games and get us to the playoffs. I was in the stands as we upset the Steelers in the playoffs last year, so I know he is clutch.
But you have to think of it as not really losing Tim Tebow - you are gaining Peyton freakin' Manning.
Go Broncos!

I hope you're used/numb to Homer's despondent, "Awwwwww... The Denver Boncos" because it will be coming up a lot. Unless you don't listen to sports radio, then you're safe.
I really hope Manning can play. He seems to be a likable guy. But I am very nervous for him given the severity of the injury he's coming back from. Not for his ability to play but for his ability to not get paralyzed or something.
He was cleared by the team doctors and his doctors to play. They said he is at as much risk of danger as any other QB would be with a hit. When they fused his vertebrae it actually makes it stronger in some ways.
But it is a risk. Then again, big risks can bring big rewards.
Besides, I lived through Tebowmania at ground zero for the last 2 years. I am numb to everything!

I'm torn. I'm a big fan of Manning, but I hate the Denver Broncos with the fury of a thousand angry suns! I will more than likely be rooting against Denver once again this season, but at least keeping an eye on Manning's stats. But wherever Tebow winds up... I will still hate him as well and laugh at his failures.
Manning to Denver was a surprise to me, but not as much as Tebow to the Jets. I can't picture Tebow and Rex Ryan getting along too much. Who knows, though? Maybe I'll be surprised. If Manning stays healthy, Denver should be very good this year.
