ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Before heading to downtown Denver for the Broncos' first world-championship victory parade in 17 years, Executive Vice President/General Manager John Elway and Head Coach Gary Kubiak answered questions at their end-of-season press conference.

A few takeaways from the event:

1. Peyton Manning's future is "basically going to be up to him."

Elway said he will not rush a decision from his starting quarterback on his future.

"The key thing is for him to want to come back," Elway said. "I think the important thing is it's going to be his decision, [until] when we get a chance to sit down and talk to him. That's why it's up to Peyton to see that process, where he is in his career, what he thinks he can do, how he can play, what he wants to do from here on out.

"In talking about retirement, it's hard. You can butt up to that line, but crossing that line and taking that final step and saying, 'I am moving on,' even if it's easy to get there, to that first 99 percent, that last one percent is as hard as that first 99 percent.

"That's why he's going to have the time he needs, and it's basically going to be up to him."
