The Donks will inquire about Peyton Manning

[Quesadilla Joe]

The Broncos are expected to place a phone call to Manning's agent, Tom Condon, to gauge their chances, according to an NFL source close to the situation. If Manning's contract can be structured so that the team would be protected in case Manning's troublesome neck becomes an issue, the Broncos could well be players.

MAO

Because Denver is such a great warm weather destination. I wonder how some of these dumb asses are allowed to talk.

Exactly, and he is a FOOTBALL player. The weather arguement is a crock of shit spewed by a bunch of pundits sitting in a cozy warm studio.

This is the first time i've heard Jason Cole speak, i've randomly read tweets but he sounds like a dumbass.

[Carlota69]

Can you imagine if and when Aaron Rodgers becomes a FA they say he will only choose a team if they play outside in freezing ass weather?? Come on now...

I wonder how some of these guys survive throughout a full day.

As a football fan, I could make the case as to why Miami, KC or Denver (just using AFC examples) would be ideal locations.

I'm also going into this with the thinking that the team signing Manning also makes an aggressive play to get Wayne as well.

However...

I would view KC and Miami as 1a and 1b - in either order. Both have nice young defenses. Both have 'young talent' at both RB/WR.

Miami has great weather - KC cannot say the same.

Miami has a new HC with an offensive background and may or may not be interested in his first run at HC being tied to Manning for 2-3 years, possible change in philosophy, etc.

KC has a defensive minded coach (see Indy with Dungy) and RC may be more flexible in letting Manning and the OC do whatever it is that Manning wants to do. I don't know that Miami would be as flexible.

I think Miami has more proven and consistently explosive playmakers across the board (RB, WR, TE) than KC or Denver - as a whole.

It comes down to division really ... Manning in Miami does not make Miami and instant clear #1 to win the AFCE. Manning in KC (or even Denver) makes that team an instant and clear #1 to win the AFCW.

I don't see Fox being as eager to change his philosophy as someone like RC or Philbin, we have nothing to judge that guy on as a HC.

Could Manning in either of the 3 work? Sure, but I'd put Denver third on that list as an ideal location.

I think KC would be first on the list - purely based on the divisional aspect of it, that (to me) would override the location factor with Miami.

Just my $.02

... and in no way am I suggesting that Denver has nothing to offer. I look at it like this. Manning gives your team a 2-3 year window to go "Superbowl or Bust". Whether it's TT or Manning - Denver has upgrade needs at RB, TE and another WR to replace Royal.

Personally, I believe I would rather see the 2-3 year experiment with what TT and a revised team can do, rather than go the Manning route and then basically start this all over again in a couple of years thanks to Manning's age. And, I honestly just don't like the injury concern.

This is the best Peyton post I have seen yet. Nice work!

Seriously, great post

[Mile High Mania]

I do what I can ... and by no means am I interested in Peyton/Wayne going to KC. As a Broncos' fan, I'm seriously not interested in that happening.

As a side note, you guys have suffered through a lot of crappy years and - as a fan and being able to see my team go through those late 90s years - you guys have earned the right to experience the same thing. Obviously, I hope it never happens... but, I'd be happy for you guys when it did.

[boogblaster]

sounds bout right .. its a SB or bust for any team signing him .....

[Mile High Mania]

Funny... on the Denver Post site, they have a simple poll - go for Peyton or stay the course with TT.

Nearly 6,800 people have voted (not scientific by any means) and 58% say go for Manning.

One problem with uyour post Mile HIgh. Explain how the Phins have more explosive playmakers?

Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas, Brandon Marshall, Davone Bess, Hartline, Fasano

Charles, Battle, McCluster (?), Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin, Moeaki

I don't know how the FA's play out for either, but if memory serves these are the main playmakers, no?

Gimme Miami.

What a joke. Yeah, that Daniel Thomas, he reeeeal explosive. Davone Bess, Hartline, what's your fascination with second tier receivers. Oh, that's right, that's all your team has.
