Wow! Before I read the staff being fired,, I was wondering if it was Fox who precipitated his move from the Broncos. Now it really does look like a firing.
This opens up a lot more questions about Manning. I believe he was hurt the last part of the season. I also believed that when he got healthy and decided he actually has enough juice in his arm for another year, he'd go back to Denver. But now.....
He'd be going back to a new coaching staff. He'd be going back minus at least 2 of his 4 major targets. So this news means it more likely that Manning IS going to retire. But if he doesn't I'd bet its even odds that when he does come back it will be with another team.
And whoever mentioned Houston might be right one the money. That's a team that's a QB away for a real run at it all. Plus with FItzy and Mallett if Peyton faltered they'd have legit back ups.
I said in another thread, that I thought Elway might have to blow up this team after only 3 years after putting it together. But I didn't think he'd be doing it the NEXT day, and with an entirely new staff.
