They have no other realistic option grooming behind him. A pragmatic GM would have cut ties and used this as a transition season...and given his new coaching staff a chance to evaluate the QB...knowing his contract is in its final year.
Manning has doomed this franchise for at least a couple of season....Elway's getting what he deserves. The more money he threw at the team...the worse they got.

That's more mental finger crossing and hope than reality...
And, I get it. It's been a painful few years with Manning after what looked like years of stupid with the Cutler/Orton/Tebow reigns.
Who knows, maybe his arm is shot now and it is everything you say --- I hightly doubt it because that's incredibly insane to think a franchise would do that in this league.
I will grant you this - there is not a QBotF on that team at this point, I don't think Brock is that guy. So, yeah it's SB or Bust (as it has been the last 3 seasons). We'll worry about 2016 in 2016.
If his arm was junk, you'd hear about it from a former teammate like Julius Thomas.. and I doubt you'd have guys like DT, Sanders, etc talking as positively as they have in recent weeks.
I didn't watch the preseason games... I'll probably watch it this week, but in week 1, I suspect we'll see a QB that can still pass the ball really well.
