I agree and I think both denver and tennessee were offering more money perhaps? than SF? I could see SF trying to sign manning to a lower contract because of the circumstances there.I think it's pretty clear by picking Denver that the whole AFC vs NFC thing was a pretty big deal and he picked a team in the weakest conference in the AFC.
really denver has some stability there with elway and they were in the second round of the playoffs in spite of tebow. this might just be the best overall situation for peyton.
I thought tennessee made more sense, but at the end denver is probably a better team right now for peyton. peyton is already a God in Tennessee. he can now become a god in colorado...
