Goodbye, Tebowmania. Hello, Peyton Manning.
After one year of Tim Tebow as the starting quarterback of the Broncos, the team has made a major change, signing Peyton Manning to a contract. The news was first reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Terms and conditions of the deal have not been announced.
The Broncos were one of the three finalists for the former Colts quarterback, along with the Titans and 49ers. Manning informed the other teams of his decision to sign with Denver on Monday morning.
Manning missed all of the 2011 season after rehabbing from a series of neck surgeries. There had been questions about whether he would be healthy enough to play this season as well, but a series of workouts — including one attended by Broncos executive VP of football operations John Elway last Friday in Durham, N.C. — has shown that Manning is able to throw the ball well.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos will now try and trade Tebow, a first-round pick of the team in 2010.

How about the great deal with Flynn to move to Seattle!!
Peyton must have suffered concussion-like symptoms plus his neck issues. (old body facing cold temps-what can go wrong?)
Was it that bad an idea to sip boat drinks and collecting a cheque with the 'Fins and maybe win the comback player of the year award instead--heck even the Niners don't have that cold of weather...Harbaugh is a knob but then you want to win right?
..and oh yeah good luck not being the Anti-Christ for Tebow fans.
...if Tebow does stay watch for his "disciples" to contact Jeff Gillooly about knee whacking techniques.
Here may be Tebow's chance to play in Florida. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he is from Jacksonville, or very close to there?
