If he's locked in, you really want him.

I've heard reports that the Broncos probably aren't getting Manning. So it comes to two: 49ers / Titans

Manning will be on the Titans next year, I'm almost sure of it. He will do well, probably AFC championship game well.

Britt is an excellent receiver, but I think he's coming off an ACL tear. I can't think of any other WR / TE they have off the top of my head.

Manning to the Broncos. I can't say I'm disappointed.

This should be fun

I think Alex and his vanilla offense deserve another year on the 49ers

Finally going to stop this silly ESPN-Tebow love affair. I defended Tebow as a QB who could progress against the people who hate him just because of the hype, but the overhyping is annoying.

49er fan here. Well, it's like the last week never happened. It was a wild week though right Alex?

Alex?

Right?

Alex?

Not a huge fan of Manning going to the Broncs, as a Chargers fan. At least with Tebow, my Chargers had a shot at the playoffs. With Manning, even if he's not at 100%, he's got a very talented Broncos team to back him up. I'd say Manning at 50% is a better asset to that team than Tebow at 100% was. Dammit.

I just want Rivers to have a shot at a ring. That's apparently too much to ask.

Peyton probably also remembers the early playoff exits thanks to P. Rivers. I know I do.

The Chargers won a lot of those games because you could shut down the Colts run attack and throw whatever they wanted at Peyton. The years following he overcame that to an extent.

Conversely, the Broncos are a good matchup v the Chargers in my estimation. They have a good O line and a few decent backs. It seems like the Chargers have been slowly deteriorating for years.
