      and looks like SF screwed the pooch too -- Alex Smith appears likely to sign with Miami.

        Love it. They should make Tebow a running back.

          I'm not sure why, but this one blind-sided me (from where my expectations were at post-season's beginning). Good for Broncos fans, though. Denver becomes an immediate AFC title contender.

          Meanwhile, in Miami, Dan Marino is warming up on the sidelines.

            I love the fact Manning will be in the AFC West. It'll make for great games vs Rivers next season. Gotta play the best to be the best!

              Heh. Tebow Nation is having a full-bore kicking, screaming tantrum this morning. They want John Elway's scalp! Lotsa great "Elway = Judas" comments on the local discussion boards and radio shows this morning...

                Wouldn't Elway be Pontius Pilate?

                    High-risk/high-reward. I do think this could go very wrong for the Broncos.

                      Really? Curious as to why you say that. Other than the injury risk, what could go wrong with adding one of the greatest QB's in NFL history to an already pretty good team?

                        That injury risk is in the stratosphere.

                          Honestly, the sport is so violent that every player in the NFL is one play away from ending his career. I don't see Manning as anything different at this point. Watching from the sidelines, it's amazing that anyone comes out of there with all parts intact.

                            But the injury risk can't be ignored here. It's extreme, in terms of the fact that one bad hit could end his career (which you could say for every player, to some extent, but it's exaggerated considerably here), combined with the fact that no one knows for sure if he's 100% back. There's no denying the upside, but the downside has to be acknowledged, as well.

                              Yes and no. There's a lot more that'll take Manning down; shoot he could be a routine face mask penalty away from another neck surgery.

                              It's still a good move for the Broncos, though. Much as I admire Tebow's drive to improve, if I could get Peyton Manning on this Denver team, I'd get him.
