In the nearly six months since his signing with the Broncos, Peyton Manning has been patient and cooperative with the Denver media, but — even using the traditional quarterback standards — not particularly revealing.
So, at least early on in his first season in Denver, Manning wouldn't be drawn into an extensive discussion of his relationship with John Elway. They have so much in common, though, including coming from "football" families, viewing their fathers (Jack Elway and Archie Manning) as their mentors, succeeding at both the college and NFL levels, and even holding aloft the Lombardi Trophy.
And now they are working together, Elway as the Broncos' executive who was in the forefront of the recruiting pitch that helped bring Manning to Denver; and Manning as the quarterback hoping to make at least one championship run in the twilight of his career.
