    A Bronco website put up a poll if they wanted Manning back next year and 58% said no.

    I would love to see him and Johnny Football fight for the starting job in Cleveland. :)

    It's unbelievable that people in Denver wouldn't want manning. Go to buffalo Peyton. You'd be welcome with open arms.

    This will be the first time ever that Rex Ryan has coached a team in the state of New York.

    If Peyton gets cut by Denver, Houston will snatch him up in a hot minute.

    If Peyton wants to come back I think Denver brings him back. They may be trying to convince him he doesn't want to come back.

    So what happens if Manning and the Broncos decide not to continue together but Manning decides to keep playing? Here’s a quick look at the teams that could be/should be interested, with the pros and cons for each location.

    1. The Bills.

    Pros: Potential championship-caliber defense, receiver Sammy Watkins, Rex Ryan at coach, deep-pocketed ownership that seems to be committed to winning, passionate fan base.

    Cons: Direct competition with the Patriots and Tom Brady, possibly multiple bad-weather home games.

    Those cons are pretty big ones if you are Peyton Manning.

    Didn't John Fox have a heart attack or something last year? The guy's been going at this non stop for a long time. I'd take some time off if I were him.

    Peyton has 9 "1 and done" playoff appearances.

    1999 - #2 Seed. Lost to Tennessee, 19-16
    2000 - #6 Seed. Lost to Miami, 23-17 (OT)
    2002 - #5 Seed. Lost to NY Jets, 41-0
    2005 - #3 Seed. Lost to Pittsburgh, 21-18
    2007 - #2 Seed. Lost to San Diego, 28-24
    2008 - #5 Seed. Lost to San Diego, 23-17 (OT)
    2010 - #3 Seed. Lost to NY Jets, 17-16
    2012 - #1 Seed. Lost to Baltimore, 38-35 (2OT)
    2014 - #2 Seed. Lost to Indianapolis, 24-13

    2006 - Super Bowl Champions - Defeated the Chicago Bears
    2009 - Super Bowl - Lost to New Orleans
    2013 - Super Bowl - Lost to Seattle

    With a better defense in certain years, Manning's post-season record would look quite different.

    Great QB but has not had great success in the playoffs. T Brady I think needs this championship run to be successful to be in that class of greatest QBs.

    If Brady and the Patriots can do what Manning and the Broncos could not do last year and defeat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, I think that would seal Brady's legacy.

    Brady and Manning secured their legacies many moons ago. It's just plain crazy talk to suggest otherwise. They are two of the greatest QB's we will ever have the privilege to watch play the game.

    Also .... Weeeeeee!

    I agree 100%. Not so much with the slide though.

    I'm tired of the "poor Peyton didn't have a good defense". Every team, every year has to deal with one facet of the team not being as good as another part. McNabb never had any WR's, blah blah blah. Brady for a while didn't have the best WR's. Peyton has always had a legit #1 WR so cry me a freaking river. One of the best ever, of course he is but stop with the excuses.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Yep. Definitely one of the best ever, but you can't ignore his failures in the postseason. Plus, the only Super Bowl he won was handed to him on a silver platter by Rex fucking Grossman. I still have nightmares about that game.

    From 538.com, ranking of QBs by value over expected in the playoffs.

    11-5 with Cassel, despite missing the playoffs, remains a feather in Belichick's cap.

    9 times is a pattern. Ask Ferris Bueller.

    If Peyton wants all the praise when he wins, he has to take the blame when he loses. The D played well enough to win last Sunday. He sucked.
