    Default Is Manning worth it?

    Didn't Tebow, who the Broncos paid SIGNIFICANTLY less get the team just as far?

    What you don't like Elway's attempt to buy a super bowl? Defense got smoked. W/o the luck in special teams... it never would have been in ot.

    The o line is shit. They can't protect the qb, can't hold for the run.

    Yes, Manning IS worth it. 13 & 3 record and his QB ranking and stats are ridiculously awesome, in the entire NFL this year alone.

    The Ravens game was a combo of Ravens getting ALL their star injured players back, pressuring our O-Line, obviously figuring out exactly how to defend our pass attack, our secondary (even Champ twice) getting burned, at least TWO BUNK BULLSHIT ref calls, while Ravens got NO bad calls, some bad Broncos play calling. Example, we got a very capable hall of fame QB and run three straight "run up the middle" plays in OT then punt and lose the game? Fucking ghey.

    Without a doubt. With a solid qb in place, we can focus our attention in the draft on other positions that we need to fulfill. Ronnie Hillman looks promising, and we may not have picked him without the whole manning situation being in place. Lets look in the long run in a few years.

    I'd be concerned about how there was a small bit of time left on the clock at both halftime and end of regulation where an attempt or two could have been made for some points but Broncos knelt on it. Champ got smoked on a couple of big plays and was getting beat on other plays that went other directions. Manning is a great regular season QB, but in a lot of years has had bad or sub par showings on the playoffs. Refs helped the Ravens a little, but if Holliday didn't have a record breaking night, the refs wouldn't have mattered. It's hard to win if special teams score 40% of your points and you let them score on every turnover.

    take away the 14 points from blown lane assignments on special teams, and they wouldn't have even been in the game... The Ravens are a tough team, they are really good at specializing their defense to beat one team. Usually that team is the Steelers, but they knew what they were up against and adapted very well to it. They also exploited some arrogance in the Bronco D. The Broncos were looking past this game, and it burned them.

    Manning is a GREAT QB but personally, I don't think ANYONE is worth the price the Broncos paid to get him. They could have afforded a lot more reinforcement in other areas (including a backup QB who made up for Tebow's deficiencies) with the money they spent on Manning. On the other hand, Elway has forgotten more than I'll ever know about pro football so who am I to criticize?
