    i am so glad you said this.
    i have been saying all along that his cult is as much of a problem as his play.tebow is going to fall victim to his own celebrity.

    But it seems like the people chanting would be season ticket holders at Denver. I don't think the "cult" or the "circus" is supposed to be people that have season tickets to the ballgames.

    then why did elway have him shipped out before the ink was dry on mannings contract?why wouldnt they keep him to learn behind manning?
    is it because elway,a h.o.f. qb, doesn't think he is talented enough to play qb?
    or is it the cult following is too much of a distratction for most teams to deal with?
    unless you can give me another reason to give up on a 1st rd pick that quickly

    Perhaps it was the same reason that the Giants let Kurt Warner go when they handed Eli the keys. It's just a clean start.

    Might also be the same logic that led Denver to releasing Orton after he got replaced. I mean, there was a possibility that Tebow could have gotten hurt, and the team would have needed a good backup QB, yet they released Orton.

    In the real world, it's often the case that when someone is replaced in a management/leadership position, they quickly find themselves removed from the company completely, as opposed to just being moved down a notch.

    This is not the real world do you think the Jets would have dumped Sanchez if they brought in Manning?

    I think they would have shopped him around before keeping him as a backup. Chances are Sanchez would have asked for a trade.

    There are some stupid things said every now and again. This is one of them.

    Agreed. This isn't a situation where you are bringing in a gunslinger for 1 year in the hopes of an immediate run to a SB title. Denver fully expects Manning to be their starting QB for 3+ years.

    If the Jets had signed Manning, they most definitely would have dealt Sanchez.

    No all the talk was they were going to keep him to let him learn behind manning but most likely would have walked when his contract expired

    You talking about Tebow ? There was tons of "talk", all by people who weren't the ones making the decisions. When it came out that Denver was pursuing Manning, there was also immediate "talk" that Tebow would definitely be traded.

    Again, "known" by whom ? There was speculation on all sides of the issue. Many came out and said that it would be great for Tebow to learn behind Manning, that if anyone could take the demotion in stride, it would be Tebow.

    Others talked about the "circus" and the need to trade Tebow away. Yet others speculated about divided loyalties in the locker room, yada, yada, yada.

    Maybe a Tebow fetishist..otherwise those of us that live in the real world know Tebow will never ever never ever put pressure on Peyton Manning.

    Ummm'' i live near denver the radio stations / local writers / TV sports guys and fans all started saying that Tebow would be gone as soon as Manning signed. You know darn well Elway didn't want tebow and probably couldnt wait to get rid of the kid. Heck I think he was gone anyway.

    You are living in a fantasy world. It's not that Tebow is better than Manning, he just has a stronger fan base. The pressure that Tebow's fan base applies is not something the Denver front office, coaching staff, or Peyton Manning wanted anything to do with.

    They didn't ALL start saying it. As I said, rumors and speculation was across the spectrum. As for Elway. there were plenty of opinions about that as well.

    Maybe true for Denver or some other craphole like Kentucky filled to the brim with brainwashed evangelical tom cruise like nutjobs like Demosthenes9.

    Fortunately not the case in NY

    If you say so. But didn't Peyton's jersey become the #1 selling Jersey when he signed? And didn't he surpass your beloved Punt Protecting Half Back?
