DENVER (CBS4) – The Denver Broncos want Peyton Manning to sign a contract with the team this weekend before he even visits with other teams who are interested in him.

The legendary quarterback met with Denver Broncos executive John Elway and head coach John Fox to discuss the potential of signing with the team.

A plane carrying Manning and Elway landed at Centennial Airport at about 1:30 p.m. Friday. From there, an SUV took them to Broncos Headquarters and Training Facility Dove Valley where their meeting continued for another five hours.

They mainly discussed the offense and the fact that they are more than willing to turn it over to Manning. The future Hall of Famer also took a tour of the facilities at Dove Valley.

Money doesn’t seem to be an issue for the Broncos because they have cap room and are willing to pay. The team had hoped to sign Manning before he left town, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

CBS4 reporter Gary Miller says Manning will leave town Saturday morning to visit with the Arizona Cardinals and probably the Miami Dolphins after that. But the Broncos got the first shot and sources tell CBS4 they think that’s a very good sign.

“Manning will visit other places, he’ll visit Arizona and he’ll visit Miami,” said Miller. “But at this point, the Broncos believe that they may well be the favorites to land Peyton Manning. And indeed, the first visit he’s making is here to Denver.”

Denver is reportedly the first team Manning will meet with in person since he was cut by the Indianapolis Colts earlier this week.

Manning missed the entire 2011 season with a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his right arm and required multiple neck surgeries, including a single-level fusion in September. He has brushed off questions about retirement, insisting that — after parting ways with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday — he still wants to play.

“This has to be exciting for the average Broncos fan. Certainly, this puts Tim Tebow’s future in doubt here in Denver and the reports that we have heard were if the Broncos were able to land Manning they would make an attempt to trade Tim Tebow. So there’s no question the Broncos are all in on Manning. They want to make him the next quarterback of the Denver Broncos,” said Miller.

“If things go the way they want, Manning will be playing for the Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow will be playing elsewhere. The Broncos are determined that Peyton Manning is the man they want to be their quarterback.”

    Don’t get carried away Gary it’s just the start of the process. Manning staated during all the drama that if the Colts drafted Luck he should play in the same way that he did as a rookie. While I see he is interested he doesn’t seem like the type of guy that would want to make Tebow sit unless the Broncos are going to try and trade Tebow to bring in some weapons for Manning.

    • Dave

      Don’t know about you, Bruce, but the only sentence in this whole article that I can believe might be true is, ‘A plane carrying Peyton Manning has arrived in the Denver area.’ The rest of it sounds like the reporter is interviewing himself…some kind of personality disorder, maybe? He’s beside himself because he saw Manning in that grainy photgraph.

      • Boo

        cbs4 just realized they need to have a more stringent comment policy. Nothing like drudge trolls to make you realize how childish most people are.

      • BooSuks

        Nothing like an Obamie lover not making any sense of anything…..

      • Shepherd

        @Boo, “There you go again” with your liberal rudeness and hate speech. Save it for the political sites where you can really vent your spleen.

      • BooStinksonIce

        Whatsamatta Boo? You mature, rational liberals don’t like free speech?

        Too bad.

      • BooWho

        What’s wrong Boo, we’re just trying to be more informed… What’s your excuse?

      • Postofficemike

        Right on. Usually the team visited first is not the one they go to.

      • Mike R.

        Dave is right, the report is quoting directly what the reporter is saying, which is basically the reporter interviewing himself. Read the article again if you don’t agree with Dave. It is pretty obvious here, and made me laugh when I came to this realization.

      • Huuf Arted

        Whats with nigros calling themselves “Boo”? Is that short for BOOFER which is what we call them here in Detroit ?

      • Kaitara

        Here we go with the morons who thinks Matt Drudge writes every story on the Drudge Report. It’s a collection of links you idiot, nothing more. You can do it too, make a website and put links there, Voilla! Boo needs to go back to school and get him some education, his lack of intelligence is painfully visible. Drudge Report is a collection of Links!!!! Just keep eating the pablum you are being fed by the mainstream media.

      • Billy

        Tebow proved he’s way better than Kyle Orton and Orton is not bad. Orton did well after leaving the horable Broncos and Orton defeated Greenbay and Orton defeated the Broncos because Orton moved from a horable team to an average team. Tebow + the horable Broncos = a better than average team because Tebow is way better than Orton is. If Tebow moves to a good team he will go to the super bowl. Manning will not inspire the mediocre Broncos the way Tebow did and the Broncos will lose with Manning. When Manning retires in a year or two the Broncos will be left with nothng.

      • Sarah

        “What? Someone spoke ill of ‘Drudge trolls?’ Let’s prove them wrong by having a dozen people write middle-school insults at him!”

    • Wendy

      here is the gig . . .he has had a neck fusion . . .he has weakness in his arm that is induced by compression of a nerve root in his neck . . .while the surgery may have “fixed” the compression of the nerve the nerve is still damaged . . .he may or may not have a full recovery . . .will he pass the physical . . .one good hit and snap goes the fusion . . .and yes that does happen. Now if John Elway is really dumb enough to roll the dice on that, good luck. Having treated many people with this same injury you do not just bounce back from it like a knee surgery. Ever hear of a guy Named Cooper Manning? Yeah Archie’s older brother who had congenital spinal stenosis…narrowing of the cervical spine . . .his career ended quick . . .and I would not be surprised that Peyton does not have this issue as well . . .so long and short an awfully big gamble on someone 14 years into the NFL . . .this is a serious condition of the neck and even with fusion, if he has had many levels “decompressed” on his neck it will take a lot of rehab to get him ready for the NFL . . .I would use the money and but Tebow some receivers and a defense

      • Pete

        Thank you Wendy. This is some very useful commentary, and the first common sense report regarding the stat of Peyton’s physical existence as it relates to his potential for a career ending injury.

        I love him as a player. He is as good as I’ve seen since I started playing and watching back in the 70s. But you’re right, he’s not worth the financial risk he commands.

      • caperick

        good points Wendy, I say go for Manning, keep Tebow jest in case. Plus you then can have Tebow and Manning in the backfield…. direct snap to Tebow or Manning can pitch it to him…. all kinds of possibilities.

      • Deskboy

        I live in Miami and we have been discussing this Where will Manning Go,too. I wrote that he should walk away as he is. Take a lesson from Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath Joe Montana, Brett Favre who ended their careers in another city as a footnote to their legacy. I too said one bump and he’s done.Holy Cow you should have seen the vitriol. I sure hope Archie talks some sense into him. His brother Cooper had to quit football after high school, never made it into NCAA. Does he want to take such a gamble? It is his neck on the line……

      • andrew

        John Elway does not want Tim Tebow. It’s that simple. John Elway knows what he wants out of his quarterback. Tim Tebow lacks those qualities. Tebow has the heart, but he doesn’t have the presence of mind of the football intelligence like Peyton does, not many do. Tim Tebow is a fad, religious people will support him, but people who know football would take Peyton Manning 100% of the time.

      • Rick

        Andrew, You are a moron and I say that with no disrespect to people of limited mental capacity.

        Did you ever watch Tebow at UF? Peyton’s best days are behind him.

      • Mike O’Conner

        I saw Rex Grossman at UF, Rick. He was awesome, bud.

      • GO DAWGS!

        Did you ever watch Tebow in ’11?? HIS best days are behind him. Florida was the peak of his career. His SEC style didn’t, and wont, transfer over to the NFL. And this is coming from an SEC super fan… GO DAWGS.. hahahaha.

      • Patrick Henry

        I agree, I have had a 3 level ACDF, not a football player either. But I think the Bronco’s would be very foolish to bench a guy like Tebow for a guy that’s had this type of surgery.

    • polly joe

      • boodoessuck

        eight centuries, give or take a century. Dude… Look it up ya duncski!

    • Jack

      …for the record, this article was written by CBS 4′s web editor and not reporter Gary Miller. It’s a common practice for the web editor of a TV station website to quote those in the newsroom with some knowledge of the story topic. So the idea that the reporter is interviewing himself is not accurate.

      Tebow needs a supporting cast, supporting home, supporting coaches, and supporting management. Not to be found in Denver.

      • PATTY HENRY

        I agree!!! Elway is like a green giant he’s so jealous of Tebow. What a great guy TEBOW is and how ungrateful can they get? No pre-season practice, but TEBOW comes in and takes them to Playoffs. Whatever…where ever TEBOW goes is where we’ll go. Elway is stupid…all people will remember about him was how un-generous he was to a great young man that loves the game…

      • jmflynny

        Exactly! So send him home to Jax. He’ll sell out the stadium and up the play on the field.

        Come home, Tim!

      • Deskboy

        Wasn’t Elway a bust until the later part of his career? When they got the new (then) unis? Bore you all jump on me, I am in Miami, I am just asking. I think Elway has selective memory.

    • Mad

      i have had the same surgery and he will never be the same and think as with me he’ll need more in the future. and i dont think he can play again . you can build up the muscles around the surgery pain still there and always there

      • Nick

        That’s Tim Tebow will become the next Drew Brees.

      • Boo

        HAHA. I’d give you Tebow for a peanut. He’s entirely worthless except to capitalize on stupid religious people. That pie is smaller compared to nose breathing humans who watch football though, they want to be relevant in society as a whole by winning games, not get fervent support from a tiny sliver of wack jobs

      • steve sharkman

        hey boo, who’s the friggin troll? typical america hating liberal. go eff yourself.

      • ben

        Boo would be disappointed if a Christian athlete would be successful. Not that Tebow is successful. Boo clearly uses the progressive tactic of demonizing those that think differently. It will come back to haunt him/her.

      • gator24

        “stupid religious people” … Oh you mean people that actually possess a moral compass ?? I know Tim Tebow doesn’t have the allure of a womanizing adulterer like Steve McNair, or the ethics of a dog killing Michael Vick or even the class of Big Ben, but in the NFL World that doesn’t matter.
        I would rather watch Tim Tebow play anyday over any other player because he actually plays the sport first and gets paid second.
        This “college educated” stupid religious person hopes Tebow goes where he is wanted and goes where they will allow him to play his style.

      I agree. Manning may get hurt again. Surgery is not a “cure”, especially in the neck.

      Why trade a WHOLE Young person who is popular and will get better? Is John-John
      jealous?

      • Boo

        Does it really matter? When Tebow fails again you will blame the media, or the refs, or whatever you want. Tebow could go 0-16 next year and you would say, “it’s a team game, he can’t win all by himself.” Just play QBs that can throw the ball and everyone will be happy.

      • Jim

        You nailed it!!! John John can’t stand having a better quarterback than him at Denver, it will make his “legend” fade all that much quicker. Check Tebow’s stats compared to his, Tebow is a much better q’back and he’s not ready to be history’s has-been.

      • Dave

        Ding Ding…We have a winner!

      • bigbronco_fan5280

        Tebow? Better than Elway? You must be drowning in the Kool Aid. Check his stats? Yeah sure, do that. The Broncos were sucking the tailpipe of every team in the league when they brought John to town. You post Super Bowl Bronco fans need to check your barometers. Tebow has no talent. While a lot of heart I won’t disagree, but I have been sitting on my couch for 10 years after playing college golf and I can guarantee I can throw a longer, better pass than the former Gator. Wake up Tebow lovers. His success was a product of schemes, both in college and last year. Put Manning in with Decker, D Thomas, keep Royal and bring in Wayne which they can do you immediately have a team that can compete with New England. Draft Poe and Crick… Talk about a solid contender, fast.

      • Horse Play

        You’re right, bigbronco_fan5280, a solid contender fast … right up until Manning takes a big hit. Peyton is a terrific QB, but even he cannot make his team a contender by cheering from the sidelines in his street clothes.

      • donxfaninkc

        I want some of what bigbroncofan is smoking. Put your money where your over inflated throwing ability is…any amount of money Tebow makes you look like toker you seem to be…college golf…REALLY?

    • DM

      agreed

    • greg

      @ben most athletes are christian, but a lot of them are black. since you only count them as 3/5 of a person from where you’re from i can see how it’s easy to overlook. also god is a fairy tale. also, obama’s got 2012 locked up.

      finally, tebow sucks. divine intervention couldnt even help that kid get back to the playoffs.

      • D

        Obama is a dictator who signed NDAA and says he gets his authority to command the US military from the UN and NATO. Hope youre proud to support this traitor.

      • Mat

        If you ever studied history you moron, you would know it was the NORTH that wanted to count slaves as 3/5 of a person.

        Tebow’s QB rating was in the top half of the NFL this year. Tebow’s stats through his first two years are WAY better than Elway’s his first two years.

        I don’t see the hate for the kid. Let him grow into the position. He is basically coming off his rookie season with the lock out, no offseason work with the team or his receivers.

      • rusty schucklefurd

        Mat, the “3/5′s” of a person compromise is one of the most misunderstood acts in American history. The South wanted slaves counted fully as residents in their respective states (without the right to vote) so that the slave states would have more influence/more representatives in congress. The opponents of slavery wanted only free persons to be counted as residents because they wanted to limit the influence of the southern states to spread slavery to other parts of the nation.

        In other words, it had nothing to do with the humanity of slaves – it had to do with limiting the influence of the slave holders in congress. That was a good thing. You need to study more history. Just sayin’.

        I’ve seen people say that Jesus is fantasy too, sorry to burst your guys bubble but i can no longer sit idly by an say nothing to the people who choose not to research themselves but would much rather obtain someone else’s thoughts and crazed rumblings.

  • James

    OK, so the Broncos are willing to take up Manning who is a liability instead of pushing forward with Tebow who has a promising future ahead of him? That sounds like a huge mistake. Tebow has demonstrated that he has the potential to be a tremendous leader for their team. I think it would be a mistake for the Broncos to just cut Tebow loose like this in the name of outright greed.

    • Big Dummy

      Tebow is an ok running back at best. Manning is a 4 time mvp, superbowl mvp and is a first ballad hall of famer. Tebow IS NOT AN NFL QB………period!

      • jekyllisland

        And big dummy how many NFL games did you win as quarterback?

      • Avenger

        Well, Big Dummy, you certainly have the right name! It would appear that a first grader probably knows more about football than you do. No offense, but I’m serious.

      • FEDUP

        Your screen name surely fits. First of all, please tell us how many NFL starts YOU have? Who are you to state Tebow is not an NFL quarterback – he sure looked like one for the second half of the season when he mounted all those comebacks. Why don’t you save your comments for some area where you can speak from experience, like lawn darts or putt putt golf. Until then, shut your pie hole….

      • AntiIdiot

        Hey Big Dummy,

        Payton Manning WAS a 4 time MVP, Superbowl MVP, etc….Manning is NOT what he was 2 years ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, PERIOD!!!!

        As for Tebow not being an NFL QB, funny, I saw him playing that position for many games last season…..maybe he was just playing 1/8th back, or 1/16th back and I missed something……

      • Guy Macher

        First ballad? Your moniker’s more truthful than you realize!

      • sailordude

        Trade Tebow to Jax! We would love that Gator here!

      • acdc123

        hey DlPSHlT… ANY time you have a c-spine vertebral surgery, you will NEVER be the same, one sideways hit and your ” 4 time mvp, superbowl mvp and is a first ballad hall of famer” will be nothing more than a VEGETABLE. And then just like the sorry jags did, they will have to eat crow and get another rookie and be in the same boat as now. also how many snaps did you take in your pro career? youd think youd save the whole “period!” thing for someone whos word isnt worth less than its weight in SHlT

      • ColoradoD

        check out his play off record clutch huh

      • ColoradoD

        did yall miss the steeler play off game

      • Rick

        Tebow is an NFL QB. Denver was 1-4 when Tebow got the QB job and subsequently led the team to the AFC West title. Manning had 14 years to compile his accomplishments. You are definitely the BIG DUMMY

      • Antilibnut

        Apparently in this case the moniker accurately describes the person commenting! Keep on being dumb there BD your doing a terrific job at it!

    • Hater James

      James,

      What really has Tebow demonstrated? You guys are clueless about football talent. Tebow isn’t a starting QB in the NFL. Get over Tebow, would ya!!!

      • ertdfg

        Kyle Orton played 5 games with the Denver team, 1 win 4 losses.

        Tebow then played 11 games WITH THE SAME TEAM IN THE SAME SEASON. 7 wins, 4 losses.

        yeah, that Tebow fellow sucks, he took a team losing 805 of their games and started winning more than they lost… terrible.

        Assuming you like losing, as Hater James and I do.. I guess if you like winning instead of losing you might prefer Tebow.. but we prefer losing; and we support QB’s who lose… a lot.

        Or did you have some other thinking here James? Any thinking at all maybe?

      • krp

        And head to head on New Years Day (traditionally a day for Bowl Games and NCAA Championships) Kyle Orton beat Tebow. Tebow didn’t score a single point. The only points came off a field goal after a three-and-out after a turnover.

      • JFFREY HOOPER

        R U KIDDING ME, TEBOW HAS WON IN THE SEC, AND AS A ROOKIE, HE TOOK THE BRONCOS 2 PLAYOFFS. DENVER,, PLEASE TRADE TEBOW AND LET HIM GO TO A TEAM THAT WOULD CATCH, BLOCK AND WIN. Denver is not thje team. As long u have Elway( he did not draft tebow), EWlway wanted Luck, well here u guys want QB, that is OLD and cant throw……. GOOD LUCK.. remember this Denver, next year u will be lucky enough to trade back prudue QB, when Peyton will get hurt

      • Billiam Hillary

        Tebow’s last 5 games gave him that very same 1-4 record that got Orton traded. Manning even at 50% can at least still complete a pass.

    • Lioness

      ‘ZACKLY, James!! SPOT ON!!!
      Me thinks Mr. Miller is an …uhm….”donkey” with “umption.
      Sounds like he’s outting himself as a non-fan of Tim Tebows.

      Drudge got the shock effect desired, I guess “NFL SHOCK: ‘ Tebow will play elsewhere’. (partial sentence, yes.)

      The “C” in CBS stands for “Conjecture”? I already know what the BS represents.

  • jasperddbagghost

    Give Tebow to Miami.

    • S Burke

      We would gladly take him.

    • Old Joe

      Oh Man! Tebow should come to Dallas! The Cowboys need some new blood and someone who is in good with the Lord. Jerry Jones surely doesn’t seem to be in with Our Savior…. Perhaps he’s in with someone else…

      • jetty

        Tebow should replace Jerry Jones.

    • tayler

      I’d love Tebow or Manning in Miami. I’m hoping it’s Manning though because that wouldn’t be right for the Broncos to just dump Tebow like that. They’ll regret it once Manning is done in the NFL.

  • Todd

    I’m confused.

    Why are you taking quotes from your own reporter? Why does he have any authority to provide quotes?

    If this is just speculation, why not just write it as such?

    • arttow

      My sentiments exactly!!!!!!

      Get a credible source with first hand knowledge.

    • Boo

      Haha, I thought the exact same thing. Don’t use quotes from your own reporter and present it as someone with knowledge of the situation. Pathetic journalism.

      • Larry

    The colts will lose some followers if they trade Tebow.

    • fred

      not sure the Colts give a hoot abut Tebow, not sure they will loose a singly fan. Now if you would understand the story, maybe the BRONCO’s will loose a fan. Just saying, read the story before you open your pie hole

      • krp

        Colts. Broncos. Whatever. They’re all horses (or is that hores?) aren’t they?

    • Boo

      Hilarious joke or tragically ignorant christian? I report, you decide.

        My money is on ignorant. The Tebowers are the NFL equivalents of the PaulRats. They have no more clue about football than the PaulRats know about politics, they just know one guy’s name, and they think that he is the first and only person of their kind.

      • jekyllisland

        So a qb that has won every level that he has ever played on should be shunned and his fans disgraced. Apparently, those others who are not “PaulRats” back losers just like yourself.

        I wonder why the country is in the economic mess that it’s in – stupid people allowed to not only make stupid uneducated comments but they are unfortunately allowed to vote – krp you are a moron

  • Tebow Fan

    Why would Denver risk big money on a QB on the verge of being over the hill and possibly unable to last long physically? He’ll never get another Super Bowl ring.

    • jc

      Never get a SB ring? If Patton lands in SF, then he can add two new ringsnto his collection.

      • krp

        Word is that Peyton doesn’t want to play in the NFC because he wants to limit the possible matchups with Eli and the Giants.

      • Not Chicken Little

        I think if Patton lands in SF he’ll kick ass as he was wont to do in WWII, even though it’d be against our own side – come to think of it, maybe SF is the enemy…

  • mok

    Tebow will handle whatever happens with integrity and class. his owner is Jesus Christ and he will go by whatever He decides is his future. one great thing about not working for a dude or franchise.

    • Goodgold

      GB – I live in Denver part time and gave up on them until they got TT. I’ll forget about them again if TT leaves. He’s the only reason i care about them.

      • fred

        That’s Denver fans for ya, Fair weather only.

      • Chrunk

        Goodgold, same here, I could care less about the Broncos, but when TT started, they were a different team and with all the anti-Christians hating him, I’ll pull for whoever he plays for. Any three of the Florida teams would automatically be playoff threats if TT joined them.

  • Matt Baetz

    What sort of journalism is this? You’re citing the opinions of one of your own reporters in this story. Who cares what Gary MIller thinks or knows? He is not in the Broncos front office. In fact he works for this network. How is that reporting?

    • Paul Begala

      Sort of like the way America’s MSM reports on the Odumbo Administration, eh?

      • Matt Baetz

        With all due respect Paul, I appreciate you commenting on my comment but I am a supporter of President Obama and I look forward to voting for him again. I don’t think MSN is any worse than FOX and I think CNN does the best job of all, granted that’s not saying much. The problem is that none of us, left, right, center can truly believe what any of these politicians tell us let alone what the media outlets choose to cover based on their financial needs. The tactic of citing one of your own reporters as a source is actually prevelant on all of the news channels but nowhere is it abused more than in sports journalism. The entire field is built on the discussion of things that might happen.

        Um, Obama has an actual army, with tanks and stuff. He’s the President of the United States of America. Please call the Marines wimps to their faces, since they are commanded by Barack Hussein Obama.

      • steve

        can someone check this guy’s ID? you sound like a 12 year old trying to argue with adults. please go away and ask your obammy for another handout. idiot.

      • FEDUP

        I just spent 20 years in the USMC, have 3 combat tours, and I am glad I never had to refer to obama as my Commander in Chief. My buddies who are still in may respect the office, but they all see him as a spineless, dishonest hack, who either by sheer incompetence or design, is weakening America more each day. Bush was nothing great, but I would follow him out of respect: Obama, I would only follow out of curiosity. He may be the Commander in Chief, but he could not organize a trip to the bathroom, and ‘commands’ nobody.

      • FEDUP

        Boo: Do this old Marine a favor and don’t mention my beloved Marine Corps in the same sentence as obama. The Marines follow his orders because that’s what we do, not because they respect or like the man. On the contrary, my buddies that are still in have no respect for him at all, and I am glad I retired in ’06 so I never had to salute him or refer to him as my Commander in Chief – it was hard enough do those things for clinton, who, though I did not like him, was still leaps and bounds better than the community organizer. The fact that he got elected at all is proof that our gene pool in America is beginning to slip. I understand though why people like you vote for him: He gives you a bigger welfare check.

        Really? An army with tanks and stuff?! Are you going to use that for Show and Tell at school Monday? Just think you could impress that 4th grade girl who is 2 grades older than you? Maybe she will share her P&B sandwich with you then?

      • Tebow Blows

        +1 Boo…. I go to “the sludge report” just to click on their links and watch all the stupid comments that are posted on any of their links. So much hate and misinformed people it makes me laugh. Somehow you can go to an article on FOOTBALL and if you search the page you will find the words OBAMA, LIBERAL, ABORTION, and BIRTH CERTIFICATE. LOL

  • J Brannon

    Just compare this to Atlanta trading away their chance for multiple years of success when they decided Brett Favre was not needed years ago. Giving up Tebow would not only be sinful, it would be a poor long term choice.

  • vince

    Do you realize how ridiculous these writers are? They say that Manning wants to play someplace warm. Does Denver fit that bill? It’s going to be Miami or Arizona.

  • Vic

    Tim,
    Please come home!

  • Tom_Allen

    Bronco’s must be getting advice from the Trail Blazers.

  • beazr

    tebow is a high school quaterback in the NFL….at best See ya!
    Manning will get hurt and wont save denver either!

    • Mark McDonnell

      Dear Boozer,

      You wouldn’t recognize a real quarterback if he punted you a hard one up your a**! But you keep dreaming anyway, sweetheart.

  • Dano

    This is just stupid. An aging QB who is well past his prime and 1 big hit away from being paralyzed. Smart move Johnny boy!

  • Brett

    What makes you think that Gary knows any more than the rest of us? “Tebow will be playing elsewhere” That is just his opinion and opinions are like back sides, everyone has one and most of them stink. The rest of what he says is just obvious, of course the Broncos, as would a lot of other teams, would like to have Manning as the QB for now. Why not let this play out and see what happens. Why do reporters try to make what they say the story instead of what is actually happening? Even if Manning comes he only has a couple more good years. Tebow could back him up and then come out just that much stronger.

  • Ryan

    This is the most ridiculous story I have ever read. Let’s cut the guy who got Denver to the playoffs for the first time in how many years?

  • fred

    If they sign him I wil watch every game they play and watch them loose-and be happy. Never was an Elway fan but now I can’t wait to see him fail with Manning and also be out their only fan draw with Tebow. Sign them Elway, can’t wait for you to be hung out for being an idiot.

    • Goodgold

      Totally agree. Elway should not be in the front office. He’s had his day. Getting rid of Teebow will be the doom of the Broncos. Go, TT GB.

  • Jan – San Diego

    Am I missing something in this story? Is the reporter interviewing himself? I read it twice and don’t see any Bronco source referred to.

    Isn’t it odd that a CBS 4 reporter is being quoted as the source of the information? Who wrote the story?

    Help me out with a reply somebody. I am not from Denver and came over from the DrudgeReport.

    • arttow

      This reporting is typical of CBS. “Dan Rather” need I say more?

  • Bob

    Tebow is never going to get a ring. You can see his limited vision as he looks for the run after his first option is covered. He may learn, but no sign of it yet.

    • Antilibtrash

      Wow! When did you acquire the ability to see the future? You All Knowing, All Seeing armchair idiots really are amazing? The ability to accurately predict the future is quite the supernatural gift? Here I am thinking that was God’s domain alone? Tell you what, if you can use your amazing ability to win the Powerball or other major lottery I might take your abilities more seriously, but until then your just another witless wonder!

  • Patrick

    iI think Manning will play as long as he can run the offense like he did in Indy. I doubt he will play for a team that calls the plays for him…..

  • Gayle

    Elway is an idiot.

  • Gerry

    I hope the Broncos FAIL miserably if they let Tebow go! He helped to carry their team and now they are DUMPING HIM?? Shameful!!

  • Rocky

    If the Broncos get involved with this mess, I hope Tebow leaves. Tebow is a better QB than Payton and brings more money to the Franchise than Payton would.
    Payton would want all the field time he could get his hands on.
    Payton now has a glass neck and one good shot could finish him and put him in a chair for the rest of his life.
    He should have some style and class and know it is time to step aside.
    I’m sure there are a # of teams waiting to make an offer to Tebow’s agent !
    The gate and Denver fans will be the big loser’s if the Broncos do this.
    By the way Payton, one of my old college teamates helped the Giants win the SUPER BOWL !

    • Andy

      “Tebow is a better QB than Payton”

      Probably, since Walter Payton was a running back. If, however, you’re saying that Tebow is better they Peyton Manning, I can tell that you’ve never watched football before this year, nor ever looked at their statistics, nor ever known, well, anything about the game.

      If Tebow is forced out of Denver, I look for him to start for exactly no teams next year.

      • mm

        Andy The Peyton that Denver would get would not be the same one you’re referring to. It’s all about the future, not the past. He has had four – not three – but four surgeries on his neck in the past two years. He’s 36, he and his wife just had twins and it is a different time for him. He is not as good as he used to be. To deny Tebow for an aging quarterback with a “glass neck” would be silly.

      • jekyllisland

        Since Tebow started just this year and match bot Manning’s and his record at the same time in their lives then I can say to you “apparently you’ve never watched football before making that comment”.

        Tebow held 5 NCAA, 14 Southeastern Conference, and 28 University of Florida statistical records.[77] He was the SEC’s all-time leader in career passing efficiency (176.0), completion percentage (67.1%), passing touchdown to interception ratio (5.5 to 1), rushing yards by a quarterback (2947), rushing touchdowns by players at any position (57), and total touchdowns responsible for (145).[9][78] He also ranked second in career passing efficiency and third in career yards per attempt (9.33) in NCAA history

        Manning’s college resume 0 National titles

      • Shadowman

        Touché…………..

    • jeremy

      you guys in Denver r nuts. you dont want a 4 time MVP? You want Tim “I cant play” Tebow?

    • DRCizme

      Wow!
      That was about as unknowledgeable as they come.

      Peyton Manning is a sure Hall Of Famer and, although Tebow is very popular, he is certainly no Peyton Mannig.

      Put the crack pipe down and back slowly out of the room, Rocky.

    • LJ

      We could use a good backup in Detroit (and some religion to boot!)

    • tazzman

      Tebow is a better QB than Peyton?

      I can see you’re new to the game.
