Thread: Broncos Players Respond To The News Manning Is Coming To Denver!

The response from Denver's players has been about like you'd expect:

Ryan Clady ‏ @RyanClady

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clady wasn't done there, though. He also said what we're all thinking when asked by Josina Anderson of ESPN about Tebow versus Manning.

"At the end of the day, Peyton Manning is just better than Tim Tebow," Clady said.

Von Miller echoed a similar statement as well.

"I love Tim Tebow on and off the field — he is a great teammate," Miller told Anderson, via MDS at PFT. “But we can learn a lot more from Peyton Manning because he's been to Super Bowls, he's a four-time MVP."

"Music to my ears," Willis McGahee said when asked about news while on a Sirius XM radio spot.

The fact that Tebowmania and Manning's search for a new home is, quite frankly, impossible to fathom.

In 2012, Denver plays their home-and-home AFC West schedule. They also play the Steelers, Browns, Buccaneers, Saints and Texans at home. On the road, Denver will travel to the Ravens, Bengals, Falcons, Panthers, Patriots.

Speaking of 2012, the Super Bowl is in New Orleans, where the Manning family is from.

Feel free to post some more player reactions to the news as you find them!

mcgahee had a good one..


Something like all you free agents, you know where its at. Its going down...something to that effect.

Im glad they are happy, lets just hope they dont stand around and oogle at Manning and play hard for him.

That's one thing about Manning. He's definitely NOT an easy teammate to have --- if you are an underachiever who's not handling his assignment. He will let you know in no uncertain terms that what he demands of himself he demands of his teammates.

And it's going to be Manning's team. No doubt about who the leader is on this team now. That's a big part of how he achieves what he achieved (averaging 12 wins a season) with a team that without him won 2 games.

Sort of like how the Broncos lost Elway and T.D. and fell to 6-10 from 13-3 and SB champions in 1999.

I think McGahee is going to fade into obscurity without the read-option...Much easier to run when your QB is eliminating one of the defenders and they don't even know how to defend the offense...

McGahee in a traditional offense = McGahee of 2010.

Here's Doom's response:

Yea, manning won't open up the run game with a legitimate passing threat. McGahee and Moreno will look great this year.

I might buy the McGahee argument, but even Manning can't make Moreno look good.

Actually, McGahee's numbers in Bmore were more to being the secondary back to Rice not because of the offense they ran.

Something tells me DT and Decker had better come into camp with their heads screwed on right and with soft hands to catch the football consistently! And we haven't talked about if the WR's don't run the correct routs!!!!

There's a new Sheriff in town at QB and he ain't taking no excuses!!!!

One point they made on ESPN earlier that it instantly makes our backs better. They are always going to get the good looks. If manning see's the 8 man fronts or run blitzes etc he will check out of them.

Its funny you say Moreno doesnt look good, or wont, but he is leaps and bounds better at his position than Tebow is/was.

Moreno still isnt all that too me, definitely not a first rounder. But, out of the backfield he is very dangerous.

Tebow has called Elway, Manning and Bowlen to give them congrats on the successful move.
