Report: Pending physical, Peyton Manning intends to return to Broncos
 

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...rn-to-broncos/

Well, that didn’t take long.

After the January 11 divisional-round loss to the Colts, Broncos G.M. John Elway told quarterback Peyton Manning to take several weeks before deciding whether to return. Woody Paige of the Denver Post, citing three unnamed “trustworthy” sources (not to be confused with the usual untrustworthy kind), reports that Peyton intends to come back to the team for a fourth season.

The only potential roadblock would be his annual physical examination. Manning had multiple neck surgeries before joining the team, and he’s checked every year to ensure that his neck will still be able to withstand the demands of playing professional football.

His third year with the team ended reportedly with two thigh injuries that seemed to significantly impair his ability to throw the ball.

The Broncos need a definitive answer from Manning by March 9. His $19 million base salary for 2015 becomes fully guaranteed thereafter.

Manning’s willingness to play for new coach Gary Kubiak suggests: (1) that Manning wasn’t overly upset about the departure of coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase; (2) that Manning is comfortable with the intended offensive approach under Kubiak; and (3) that Manning isn’t holding too much of a grudge regarding the failure of Kubiak’s Houston Texans to reciprocate Manning’s interest in joining the franchise three years ago.

I'd still be surprised if Manning plays next year...

This could certainly be posturing for the restructuring that the Donks are going to want him to do if he returns.

What are the odds that Manning will have the same type of year next that Favre had in his last year? An old vet QB going back for one more year too many.

I hope so.

Going for a 10th one and done eh?

He wants all the records...

He will have a year like that. He was already falling apart after half a season last year.

gotta get those stats, and keep the endorsements rolling in...

and he'll win another division

but he's not good enough to win a Super Bowl by himself, anymore

I really don't see him coming back if the offense is changing to Kubiaks system... If they keep the same offense I believe the defenses are starting to figure out how to stop it...

He never was good enough to win a super bowl by himself

kubiak said he wasn't interested in using a gary kubiak offense, he was interested in using a denver broncos offense

you know

basically saying, "go ahead Peyton, run it yourself."

Was he ever...is any QB?


Either way don't worry he won't have to

Come on Kubiak wasn't running naked boots with Joe Flacco. Flacco had a great year under Kubiak. Kubiak will taylor his offense around Manning's strengths until they get the right prospect.

Sure he was. Him and Brady won divisions for over a decade .. parts around them changed ... and they always won.

Now...

did either of them do it?

No. But they were top contenders every year.

They both won all of their Super Bowls with plenty of help from the other 52 guys on their roster. One of them used cheating as well.

And he said as much in the Presser yesterday,

I think his arm is getting weaker with age and it going to catch up to him next year...

I think you mean, EVER.

He can think that D in the post-season for that SB win.

oh

his D brought them back from down 18 in the AFCCG against Tom Brady?

I forgot!

shocking!

If the drop off was because of injury, and his arm's decline is much less than it appeared, he should come back.

The defense carried Fivehead "3 TD to 7 INT, worst playoff passer rating of a Super Bowl-winning quarterback" Manning to that ring.

And another playoff loss and one-and-done to add to his all-time NFL records in those categories.

Why would he not come back for 20 mill

he actually had a 74 QBR for that postseason

he also led them back from down 18 against Tom Brady in the AFCCG

He was Super Bowl MVP after controlling the ball for 39 minutes in the Super Bowl and also erasing a 10 point 1st half deficit against the Bears

any more myths you'd like me to dispel?

In 2007 and 2011 Tom Brady played two MISERABLE (by his own admission) AFC Championship Games and his teams won despite poor QB play. Why is this never discussed?

Elway is stupid. The guy will be 39.5 years old when the season starts. I realize Gary will do a ton of running plays but still Manning is too old to win when that isn't working.

in the 2007 AFC Championship Game, Tom Brady posted a QBR of 18 (worst of the year, by far) in the AFC Championship Game against the Chargers...

in 2011, (the Lee Evans game), Tom Brady is quoted as saying, "Well, I sucked pretty bad today, but our defense saved us," Brady said after throwing for 239 yards, with two interceptions and, for the first time in 36 games, no TD passes. "I'm going to try to go out and do a better job in a couple of weeks, but I'm proud of this team, my teammates."

BUT NO ONE EVER SAYS TOM BRADY WAS CARRIED TO HIS LAST TWO SUPER BOWLS BY HIS TEAMMATES.

Of course, everyone knows his first 3 he was just the game manager, so I won't even go there (plus Spygate). Although, his 1 postseason TD pass in 2001 was very, very impressive.

Because Brady has won playoff games and SB's with his arm. He's been the main reason his team won.

Manning hasn't. In most of Manning's playoff losses HIS poor play was why the team lost and in his only SB win Manning's attempts were some of the lowest of his career...

His decline was evident before the quad injury.

No, but it saved him from choking at home vs the Chiefs.

I'm not worried about him coming back.

It did?

Weren't they up like 16-0 at half ... and 24-8 in the middle of the 4th?

He certainly didn't play great ... but to pretend like that game was ever in question is hilarious.

Oh, so you didn't watch the Chiefs at Indy wild card game from the 06 season?

Peypey kept chucking it to the Chiefs D, but the offense could do shit offensively.

Near choke.

BTW, the final was 23-8. Peypey had 3 ints.

Indy plays a better team than the Chiefs that day and he never wins a SB.

oh wow

you really proved me wrong there

LMAO

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

and if Alex Smith was Aaron Rodgers the Chiefs would be really good

and if meatballs tasted like catpiss instead of pure deliciousness, they wouldn't be so popular

and if the football field was made out of hot lava people wouldn't want to play football

Manning could roll out in a wheel chair and still work Sutton over along with slowali.


If manning comes back we take back seat again.

Hootie never passes the opportunity to suck on Manning's chili dog.

You could be talking about the tide in Miami at 4pm and he could work a slurp or two in. He's almost magic with it.

somebody has to

this board would have you believe that Manning is a mediocre NFL QB

No, he's a HOF regular season QB and a terrible playoff QB.

The exact opposite of his brother...

Manning doesn't fit Kubiak's offensive style at all.

terrible playoff QB's win a Super Bowl and go to 3 total?!?!?!?!

WHERE CAN WE FIND ONE?

I doubt it.

I agree.

It wouldn't suprise me if they tailor it around him though. They'd have to. They would be stupid not to.

Jesus.

Hootie would probably try to give PM a handy if they ever met

9-0 at half time. The game was never out of reach.

Chiefs couldn't do shit on offense. Your beloved Peypey threw 3 picks.

But go ahead, keep swallowing his manjuice!

Manning didn't work Sutton over this year.

In the post-season? He absolutely is.

So, you don't really watch the games, right?

No. He's a Bronco. **** him.

"Mediocre" would be too generous to describe Playoff Peyton.

Go on Hootie rub my dick.

Flop seems nice...

Restructuring, aka future off contract promises, ala GM Elway.
What salary cap!

Hootie in here tryna pretend Tom Brady ain't the GOAT. smh.

I didn't think we wanted a QB that required leaning on the defense and running game to win...

I've said this before and will say it again - 'I've hoped for 3 years he would retire. Now I hope he plays 3 more."

Meanwhile the Chiefs keep losing 2 games a year to him. Because....

Peytie-pie - Ever notice Joe only shows up for the playoffs?

John - At least he does that.

Very true, up until this season.

I put those 2 losses on the offense.

Going through the website that I got those stats from I found it interesting that the only teams Manning has a losing record against are...

http://www.peytonmanning18.com/eachteam.html

Green Bay 1-2
Indianapolis 1-2
Miami 6-7
New England 7-13
Seattle 2-3

The only one that surprised me was Miami.

Good.

No cheap outs for Lil' Chiefy.

If you want the division, earn the bitch.

I thought the news that HGH testing came out and he dropped off the face of the earth performance wise was quite interesting.

One of the things Peyton has struggled with the most since his neck surgeries has been his grip strength. I think he'd really get a lot of benefit from using one of Tom Brady's footballs.

Manning regretted that commercial the week after it got big pub...

If he's anything like his brother, he's got his own way of getting the footballs the way he likes them. :thumb:

My guess is he pays them 20mil to play and they have to build a roof over the stadium...

Legally, unlike Brady? I'd agree with that.

look at these ****ing bundle of stickss LMAO

first their coach was a cheat
now their QB is a cheat

shit, the QB was in on the cheat the whole time and benefited greatly from Spygate

what a scumbag organization

You're not allowed to complain about another team cheating.

He'll come back and be good enough to win the AFCW; but not good enough to do anything in the playoffs again.

He should've deflated footballs...

Wade Phillips, anyone?

They need someone to get the Charmin out of that D. Quality teams just beat em up and took their lunch money under Herm Del Rio.

Soft

They need to hire Tony Wonder to bring Von back. He pulled a disappearing act in the Division round.

You're an incredibly boring troll. Step up your game. Hootie's a ****ing idiot, but at least he's not boring for the first 10 posts or so on a topic.
