Peyton Manning to Broncos: Superstar QB Will Live Up to Massive Contract

The Denver Broncos just made a huge commitment and have invested five years and $96 million into the Peyton Manning era, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

That deal is more than fair and completely worth it if the future Hall of Fame QB can stay healthy.

Manning is going to take this Broncos team to the next level, and it is legitimately scary to think how far he can lead them if Tim Tebow was able to help them win the AFC West with an 8-8 record and make it to the divisional round of the playoffs.

No offense to Tebow, but his mechanics, decision-making and general quarterback play isn’t even on the same planet as Manning’s.

The Broncos had to redesign their offensive schemes around Tebow and coach John Fox was able to gimmick his way to a postseason victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He won’t have to worry about doing anything but designing good football plays with Peyton under center.

The former Colts QB had pretty much been running his own offense in Indianapolis for the majority of his career and has proven time and time again that his pre-snap reads and audibles are the best in the business.

This signing will go down as one of the best free-agent moves of all time for Denver if Manning can stay healthy.

Remember, Peyton has undergone four neck surgeries in the past 20 months. He’s been cleared by team doctors from the 49ers, Titans and Broncos, but it’s uncertain how he would react to a crushing blindside hit and no one will feel comfortable until the first one is out of the way without a hitch.

If he gets up unscathed, the deal is completely worth it.
