By now, you all know (or should know) Peyton Manning chose to play for the Denver Broncos.
HOOORAAAAYYYYY!
I'll admit, I was pretty surprised he chose Denver. The longer Manning watch went on, the more it seemed like Denver would not be the choice, especially with the emergence of San Fransisco and Tennessee as Manning suitors towards the end of the race. Had Manning not chosen Denver, I was worried about what the Broncos brass planned to do with all the cap space they have to spend somewhere.
Those fears, of course, have been extinguished.

What if...
Peyton Manning anyone?
Denver should, if they haven't already, have some serious discussion about bringing one of the best NFL quarterbacks of all time into the fold.
While Tebow is continuing to develop, who bettor to mentor him than Manning?
For Manning, he'd come to a team fresh of a division championship with the top rushing attack in the league a year ago. A defense improving, and that will continue to improve with the likes of Champ Bailey, Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil and some new draft picks and free agents. John Elway, who was also a Colt albeit briefly, would be able to relate to the free-agent-to-be. Elway won back-to-back Super Bowls at the ages of 37 and 38 after all. Manning is 36.
Probably a pipe dream, but the Broncos have a good bit of cap room, and they're looking for quarterback competition. Manning will be out to prove the Colts foolish, and their loss could mean huge gains for the Broncos.
Tebowmania would happily take a backseat to Manning for a couple years, especially if he lead us to the promised land, and could help Tebow hone his game. Preparing Tebow to last a decade or so with us would be worth the investment of Manning for two or three years.
Fun to think about. Better if it became reality.
