I drafted Manning 1st round, 1st pick in my fantasy league and I want him gone.Quote:

I'm just missing our D - they were pretty damn good the first seven games...Quote:

But yes, Manning played one good game this year. Only thing bad about Brock Osweiler is he has the same initials as Obummer. :) I do think he is going to be a great quarterback. This week we will see if we have Donkey's or Broncos for the rest of the season. If Kubiak and Manning can now invest into Brock and get him a little game experience and polish, the year might be salvageable. Play Manning in some situations that are tailor made.
When that happens, I think you will see the offense perk up, gain confidence and become a force to reckon with.
Tebow is available. [ROFL3]
Manning's got a torn plantar fascia. This might be his career. Expect Osweiller to get the start against the Bears, and Peyton might be back for a playoff run. Nothing is certain at this point about him moving forward.
Osweiller's a far better fit for Kubiak's system anyway. If Kubes is staying, the Brock era is on. If they're smart, they'll use Hillman to stretch the outside and the B gap work, and use CJ on the A gap and power formations. Play action from there. Let Sanders play underneath and have DT occupy the safety. Two tight end sets would also be a good way to work the seam.
I don't want to see anyone injured, but that is great news for the Broncos. If Brock can carry the team to the SuperBowl, maybe Manning can get up for one more hurrah and share it with the understudy.
The inability of the offense to keep the ball has hurt the defense big time. No defense can play as much as those guys have been on the field and still maintain the same level of performance.Quote:

I think the Broncos have a great roster otherwise and i expect big things from them with a fresh QB.
... and he'd probably have done at least as good a job for a fraction of the money -- which would have left more on the table to get some support at other positions.Quote:

I agree 1 manning = a quality offensive line in financial terms.Quote:
