Von Miller closing in a deal reportedly worth 6yr/114m w 70+g

[Mr. Laz]

#Broncos & Von Miller spent the last week making significant progress on the 6-year, $114M offer. I’m told the guarantees now eclipse $70M.

The one thing that is lost... is Manning's arm went from setting records to total junk at the same time the NFL began testing for HGH. Elway knew this loophole...its what corporate weasels do...exploit.

To return from serious injury he was offered protection from the refs, given league records, and finally a title. The Broncos won jack and shit. They bought the league marketing tool. Simple as that.

Your own team brought him in as a bargaining chip...they had no intention of actually using him. Shit just blew up in Elway's face and they have been on PR damage control since...

It's the whole Twainian inversion "Paint my fence..it's really fun and you'll love it".

Yeah Denver isn't my team, but I sure do love the discomfiture and fits that ol' Horsey seems to be giving you.

it wasnt so much his arm...it was his legs. He couldn't use the ground as leverage against gravity as well.

Manning was certainly shot, a a whole, last year. But if I start saying this year that "my sources tell me" Brady's arm is shot, and keep saying that for the next few years, eventually "my sources" will be right. The sun will shine on a dog's ass if you just give it time.

He was throwing ducks for 4 years. Morons were saying he was at full strength. 2 and a half years of gods hand landing them in there was a joke.

He did set a TD record two seasons ago...so you got that going for your point. Especially considering the nerve damage in his finger tips...which is the main cause of the ducks you are talkimg about

What are you saying exactly? That he couldn't throw and yet still was the best passer in the league when he joined Denver due to divine intervention?

WTF are you talking about? I seem to remember him tearing up us and the rext of the league in 2013. I wanted him to be done but that obviously was not the case that year. Last year, yes. And despite that, he came back week 17 and played well enough to win. He wasn't spectacular by any means, but he used his brains and experience to help lead that team. Look, I can't stand the Broncos and Manning any more than the next Chiefs fan, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Still, we all know the defense carried the team last year.

That defense will keep them in a lot of games this year but I see them winning .500, at best.

Contract. Same as if Hulk Hogan came back and went on a miracle run.

I think Manning was an interesting case of aging. He was very effective in 2012, he was effective for 13 games or so in 2013, he was effective for 10 games or so in 2014, and in 2015 he wasn't good for anything except NFL marketing. Gerontologists will study his game film and write dissertations about it.

Age and the decline of the OL... it all added up, and in 2015, Manning was getting killed early - 10 sacks in first 3 games with a lot of hits. Then, they (he) decided to say screw this and changed things. But, yeah - getting older and getting hit more, that doesn't help.
