Well, I guess they don't want to wait for Tebow to develope more and they're looking to win right now. Still, i'm not sure how smart this is since they may only get a season or two out of Peyton then they're right back to where they were a few years ago in looking for a QB.

One things for sure, the Broncos just became more of a threat.

They'll probably keep Tebow around. Even if it's a salary cap issue you get rid of other players. You can't pass up having the greatest quarterback of this era join your team. And if it's only for a few years you let Tebow learn from the guy. Win-win situation.

True. But the word is that they're looking to trade Tebow once Peyton signs the deal. That's the only part that confuses me since what Tebow could learn from Peyton would be huge for him.

Tebow isn't a Peyton Manning tutoring session away from being a good QB.

Trade him, get what you can.

Where's your Messiah now, Tebow!

They would be stupid to trade Tebow. Sure he's not the best quarterback ever, but who knows how good Manning will be. Plus Manning is getting up there, who knows how much longer he will play.

A) I can't explain how fucking happy I am today with this news. I really thought the 49ers would get Manning. It goes to show Elway for the 2 years he has been VP knows what he is doing. Could there be a Super Bowl in Denver's future? Maybe we still need some more playmakers at WR, RB and we also need to improve the defense if we are to compete with the AFC powerhouses Patriots and Ravens. It is a gamble but it is well worth the risk

B) As far as Tebow I think he could learn a lot from Manning; how to throw right maybe not so much but if anything Manning is a good game manager and is king at adjusting the play at the line to attack the defense on the fly. Plus Tebow can be a threat in short yardage situations and goal line plays; I don't see why the Broncos can't mix in a bit of Wildcat in the right spots

C)However it seems Tebow is out the door but I don't think we will get anything above a 5th round pick for him. Tebow isn't the greatest thing ever but I hope the Broncos get something back for him. The only two places I see him going is Jacksonville and Miami, both who really need asses in seats in their stadiums.

D) Any fans of the Titans here? You think Bud Adams is flipping everyone off at work today?

E) 49ers fans, you think Alex Smith would be brainless enough to sing with the fins out of spite? Do you like your chances to get back to the NFC playoffs without Smith?

They said on PTI that the going price right now is a 5th round draft pick. Ouch.

I was pretty stunned that it was the Broncos. I thought for sure he was going to the Titans.

I'm a fan of NFL but I haven't been watching as long as you guys, so I can't analyze the game like you. But how can Tebow only be worth a 5th Round draft pick? He seemed more lucky to me than anything but he can't be that bad that the team can make it to the third round of the playoffs with a quarterback that's only worth a 5th Rounder?
