The Broncos won the AFC west and a playoff game with freaking Tim Tebow at the helm. That would seem to indicate that the rest of their team is pretty good. Citing three teams that didn't make the playoffs last year does not help whatever it is your point is.

They won BECAUSE of freaking Tim Tebow at the helm.
Manning has said he doesn't want to play against his brother unless he has to. The Williams sisters try to avoid this (and look miserable when they are forced to do it), the Klitschkos definitely avoid this. This seems like a pretty legitimate reason to have a preference for the AFC. The idea was always to pick the best situation in the AFC. While you say authoritatively that the Dolphins, KC and Tennessee are better situations, the objective facts suggest otherwise, and it is completely reasonable for Manning to think that Denver's situation is best. It's not like he chose Jacksonville over Houston or something.
Yes, choosing the lesser team instead of the better option for winning the Super Bowl is what I pointed out. As for the "objective facts...", that's just nonsense. KC, for example, had the same record as the Broncos despite losing Moeaki, Charles and Berry all at the start of the season, and despite having a QB carousel with the likes of Tyler Palko playing under center.
