Peyton Manning Decides on Signing with Denver Broncos

After tantalizing a number of quarterback-hungry teams around the NFL, Peyton Manning has decided on making Denver his new home.

Enormous amounts of attention has been paid to where the 35 year old quarterback would sign as he was in talks with a number of different teams around the league. Now that the decision has been announced, two other topics are taking over as the center of the NFL universe: Where will Tim Tebow land? Will Peyton be as good as he once was?

It is well-known that John Elway, Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Broncos, isn't exactly a fan of Tim Tebow. When news came out the Broncos were looking at signing Manning, a statement from Elway came out saying he hoped to trade Tebow if they land Manning. Now that Elway has reportedly secured Peyton, where what will Denver look for in a trade; and who will be interested in picking up the controversial young QB? One of the most likely places is Miami, who was trying to attract Manning as well.

As far as whether Peyton will be as good as he was before, numerous reports say he is throwing the football well and seems to look good. Even if he is fully recovered physically, it is really common for players that sustained major injuries to be a little more hesitant because of the mental aspects of the injury. Considering that this particular injury, if aggravated, could be more than just career-ending, it's hard to say how cautious Manning will be.

Do you think Peyton will return to his old form?
