QB Shake-Up in Denver?

		QB Shake-Up in Denver? Local Denver media outlet 9News is reporting that the Broncos are strongly considering making a move to land injured star quarterback Peyton Manning. The Broncos would get Manning to either groom the messiah Tim Tebow or to be a hold-over until the Broncos find their quarterback of the future. It is also being reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Jacksonville Jaguars would be willing to offer the Broncos a 2nd and 5th round draft pick in exchange for Tebow. If you are the Broncos why would you not do both of these deals? Tebow revived the Broncos season and led them to their first playoff victory since 2005, but Broncos Executive VP of football operations John Elway only guaranteed Tim a starting job going into training camp. It would make sense for the Broncos to get the most for Tebow that they can while Tebowmania is still clouding everyone’s judgement. It’s hard not to root for the guy and I enjoyed watching him lead the Broncos this season, but sending him to Jacksonville for two good draft picks in return seems like a good deal all around. First, he would be loved even more in Jacksonville being so close to his old stomping grounds at the University of Florida. Second, it would revive their fan base and jump start a team that nobody wanted to watch this season. And third the Broncos would be able to have a young QB come in and learn from one of the greatest QB’s to ever play the game. Now this all depends on the health of Manning as he recovers from his third neck surgery. If he is cleared to play (which Colts owner Jim Irsay says he hasn’t done) and is able to perform well enough in front of Broncos brass then look for Denver to make a serious move to land the future hall of famer. Basically, if the Broncos are confident in Manning they will move Tebow. It might be time to change Tebow time from MST to EST. QB Shake-Up in Denver? \| RedZone Talk \| Rant Sports

Don't ever believe words that come of out people's mouths. Watch their actions.

We've seen this time and time again not only in sports but in life.

That being said, I think Tebow deserves to be back next year. Give him a chance to develop and to refine his skills. With the right offseason workout program and the right talent around him, I think he'll be a success in the league.

if these reports are true how do you pass up a high 2nd for Tebow? !! even if they dont get Peyton I would make that trade.

Tebow was McDaniels guy, Elway wants nothing to do with Tim.

Even if they are, which i dont believe. Damn near EVERY team should be making a move for Peyton...

I don't know why but if Tebow dealt I would think Seahawks may want him.

naw indy not sold on giving him that $28mil

I am a firm believer if Tebow can get more weapons and master his mechanics he'll be on his way up.

2nd rd pick

02-05-2012, 09:53 AM

This could be interesting. Peyton wears down the defense, and Denver's D can exploit the opponents cold offense. Tim takes notes and gets ready to start in 2 or so seasons down the road

02-05-2012, 09:56 AM

I don't know if I can believe Elway would pull a move like this. But it could be beneficial to Tebow to learn from one of the GOATs. But this would create some fricition between the fans and the Denver front office, despite they are picking up Manning, a proven QB, the fans in Denver are Tebow or bust at thuis point.

Not even a Tebow fan but he did win a playoff game last year in OT?

If we could get Manning for 2 or 3 seasons I would be willing to let Tim sit the bench and learn from one of best.

I don't know about trading him but a 2nd and a 5th is tempting for almost any player. I would rather not trade him unless we get an amazing deal.

but yes bring in Manning and make a run at the SB.

btw wtf is rantsports....
