DENVER -- Just another fourth-quarter comeback for the Denver Broncos (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/den/denver-broncos).

That Tim Tebow (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13200/tim-tebow) is something else. Wait, scratch that. We've moved beyond Tebow.

Much different quarterback, same late heroics for Denver. But I’m sure the Broncos feel much more comfortable winning games this way (http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=320909007) as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers) 31-19 in front of a raucous home crowd Sunday night.

Unlike the polarizing Tebow, Peyton Manning (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/1428/peyton-manning) was solid all game long in his Broncos debut.

The doubters questioned Denver for giving Manning a five-year, $96 million deal (Denver has protections after this season if need be). The skeptics wondered if Manning could ever be effective again. But in a stirring performance that has to soothe Denver and cause worry around the NFL, the biggest question of the 2012 offseason has been answered. Can Manning be an effective NFL quarterback again? Folks, he is back.

Not only is he back but he gave a resounding answer to his critics. Yes, he is all that. . .and more.

What color would you prefer? Initially it was black and unreadable against the blue backdrop. Now i can see it.

I was going to start my own thread but this one will do'PM might be the greatest field general the NFL has ever seen !
a title previously held by johnny unitas.
PM, just amazing!
even though the steeler defense was short handed, he countered every move dick lebeau made like a chess master !

Orange. Problem is, a lot of us use work friendly mode which has a white background. Yellow (and clearly white) are difficult if not impossible to read.

And during the game the announcers (somehow) pointed out that PM is only throwing the ball (comparable passes) about 1.5 mph slower than he did ten years ago. They said this was minimal and lended creedence to PM being back almost full speed. Hell, I thought PM operated like a brain surgeon more than being a brittle patient himself!

Ill be sure to take that in consideration in the future then. All ive ever used on here is the blue.

Yeah, I like the blue background, but at work it screams "I'm not working" so I use the work friendly white background. I've gotten so used to it I use it at home now too.
