I wonder how the broncos will tailor the offense around manning, fox is a run first type of guy where manning is a pass pass pass guy.

Sounds like Manning is going to get the keys to the offense from reports and I'd say Fox has pretty much had no other choice but to be a run first offense with the Quaterbacks he's had.

Probably a fullback/short yardage guy/trick play guy.

I'd still rather see him go somewhere where he has the chance to start

The best qb fox has had is Delhomme so this will be a big change

The Jags should probably make a play for Tebow. They need something to get fans in the seats or they will soon be playing in LA.

He's never had a QB like this. I'm sure he'll be okay with letting the offensive co-ordinator tailor an offense to the teams strengths. Being a cold weather team there will be those games where you need to be content running the ball. I believe Fox and McCoy have worked together for years. He got a lot out of Kyle Orton, and changed their playbook mid season to accommodate Tebow, so i'm sure it will be no problem. I'm sure this was discussed with Manning when they all met up.

Fox gets to concentrate on tightening up that D. That is his strength.

I'm terrified that the Dolphins are going to wind up with Tebow. I'm not sure I'll be able to remain a Phins fan if that happens.

Well Manning chose the easiest division to win in; so that's pretty damn smart of him. They should be able to win the division and get a home game for the next 3-4 years if he is able to stay healthy. San Diego could be the only real threat, but the Chargers have become pretenders, rather than contenders the last few years.

Sounds like it came down to Elway and that's the reason Peyton is going to the Broncos. Oh man did Denver ever just get a ton of prime time games this year, especially with the schedule they have.

I just hope Bronco fans don't join the Tebow hate train now and pretend they weren't his biggest fan after that Pittsburgh win. Maybe he wasn't the reason they had a decent turn around and won a playoff game, but they sure as hell weren't going anywhere before he took over.

What? People are upset Tebow "might" join the Pats? Why, because they're paranoid of him taking 12 snaps in a few 4th quarters? Best case scenario is that Belichick can convince him to consider giving it a try as a fullback- something that is bound to happen in a few years anyways imo

Nope, I love Tebow but would much rather see him go somewhere he has a chance to start rather than sit behind Brady or switch positions

The Chiefs are going to be much better this season. They've made some improvements and they have a real coach now.

Good luck to Peyton in Denver! Hope he gets a Superbowl win.

Denver fans you are so lucky. Peyton Manning on the line does what no other QB does. He absolutely confuses the defense with his play calling and you fans are in for a treat to watch him play. You went from one of the worst QB's to one of the best. Congrats.

Other teams in that division are now playing for the Wild Card. Denver wins that division for the next while.

Tim Tebow prayed to God for a Superbowl next year so God brought Denver.....Peyton Manning.

It's only a sideshow because people choose to make it one.

He seems like the ultimate team guy and didn't Fox call Tebow the ultimate football player last season? Or something along those lines. The guy will do anything to win
