I think we all kinda saw this coming due to the money, but this is pretty huge. Wonder where he goes next? Because he ain't done yet.

Charlie Don't Surf · Mar 7, 2012

If he goes anywhere other than Browns, Redskins, Chiefs, or Dolphins, I'll be shocked.

Scuttlebutt around here says he wants to come to Houston.

I highly doubt they'd throw Schaub under the bus like that. AND they have no fucking cap space after overpaying for Foster.

Houston does not really owe Schaub anything. He is a good QB, but does not hold a candle to Peyton. Besides there is 3 great seasons left in Peyton, even if it will take 5 years to get those 3.

I've now also heard the Vikings.

i think whoever signs him will regret it. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't play again.

He'll have to pass a physical to play. He just received his clearance to practice again. So there is not much danger to the teams that sign him.

Wow I totally misunderstood that thread title.

Zappit · Mar 7, 2012

Mark my words - 49s will make a serious run despite Smith's performance last season.

Denver?

Dave · Mar 9, 2012

I'm hearing a lot of Denver talk. Tebow would be out as a QB in the NFL. Maybe he'd be a TE but he'd not be a QB again.

DarkAudit · Mar 10, 2012

Washington is out. They just traded up to the 2nd pick in the draft.

jwhouk · Mar 10, 2012

That opens up Saint Louis.

DarkAudit · Mar 10, 2012

Nope. They're sticking with Sam Bradford.

Denver seems to be the front runner. Various ESPN talking heads are of the opinion Elway wants Peyton to get them out of the Tebow situation as gracefully as possible.

jwhouk · Mar 10, 2012

So the question would then be, what happens with Tebow?

And what happens if Peyton is hurt in the season opener?

DarkAudit · Mar 10, 2012

Elway is up in the owner's box... and should be well rested.

jwhouk · Mar 10, 2012

And he's also about seven years older than I am.

Dave · Mar 10, 2012

Tebow is a terrible quarterback and will never play in the position again in the NFL.

He has to play. I don't want to see 1 Billion Facebook updates about how he was cut for his religious beliefs.

Charlie Don't Surf · Mar 13, 2012

I dunno how I feel about the Titans in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. If we sign any combination of Hutchinson, Mario Williams, and Peyton, I'll be psyched.

jwhouk · Mar 14, 2012

The problem is, one of his demands will be to change the team's primary colors from blue and white to orange and white...

evilmike · Mar 19, 2012

Looks like it's Denver.

sixpackshaker · Mar 19, 2012

I guess God's Gift to Football will have to look for some other team that needs a good college QB.

blotsfan · Mar 19, 2012

He'll probably go to Miami.

My favorite post on Yahoo! about this is...

"Aww cute, he went from a little horse to a big horse."

jwhouk · Mar 20, 2012

Jacksonville. Hometown. That's all.

...and part of me wonders if Elway made a huge mistake.

sixpackshaker · Mar 20, 2012

Elway did what is best for his team. Tebow is a winner, but he can't QB for shit.

Dave · Mar 20, 2012

With Tebow at the helm, the Broncos won in spite of him, not because of him. They won because of a stellar string of defensive performances. They won because their kicker made several game winning kicks over 50 yards, including one that was 59 yards long. They won because a running back for Chicago didn't think fast enough to down himself instead of going out of bounds like a moron.

It wasn't Tebow that won it. His performances in those game were nothing short of atrocious. The REST of the team got the win, not his one or two plays at the end. He just got all the glory from the fundie idiots who claimed it was God giving a shit about a football game.

Local ABC's headline was "Peyton Comes Out in Denver"

DarkAudit · Mar 21, 2012

This just in...

ESPN via Twitter said:
Denver traded quarterback Tim Tebow to the NY Jets.

Dave · Mar 21, 2012

Hopefully the New Jersey fans are smarter than the Denver fans. Mark Sanchez is a good QB. If he loses his starting job to this overblown piece of crap it will be a travesty.

Tebow for TE.

Charlie Don't Surf · Mar 21, 2012

Sanchez is kind of a shitty QB

Now I know you're trolling. Dude is one of the top 10 NFL QBs according to stats. But you keep talking, Chucky.
