This Might Be My Last Rodeo

[SpiritOf77]

Peyton Manning tells Bill Belichick "Hey, listen, this might be my last rodeo, so it sure has been a pleasure"

This next game is going to be good

Peyton Manning hinted to Bill Belichick that he might be retiring

What are the odds that Peyton makes the speech to the team the night before the game? I'd guess pretty close to 100%.

If for some reason Brock leaves via FA, I'd like to see Denver draft a QB and Manning play one more year.

What are the odds Brock walks this offseason?

I really think he wants to be a Bronco. He's invested so much time in this organization, this city and this scheme. I also think the Broncos really want Brock to stay, so I'll be surprised if they don't lock him up. Of course, if some quarterback starved team offers him the moon, there's a chance he could bolt. I just don't see that happening.

He won't...he would only leave for a starting job I'm guessing...The potential suitors...DEN, STL, CLE, NYJ, HOU, SF...Cousins is the big FA fish and WAS will overpay to keep him. The draft will have maybe 3 guys with 1st round grades and they will be cheaper and probably not a whole lot more risky.

When he ran for 1st down against NE I thought he is calling it a career. I agree George the speech thing is coming night of Feb 6th.

Good thought SpringStein.

If I were the coaches I would have Manning and Ware get up before the team. Ware from what I understand was the one before the AFC Championship game and I guess he brought one of the Broncos Lombardi trophies with him and told the team how this was his first Championship game of his career which I guess I didn't even realize. He told them to never take these kind of opportunities fore granted because you honestly have no clue when you will get back to this moment or if ever. I guess he had players in tears with his speech.

 

[CEH]

Manning doesn't need to give a speech. The players are playing for each other now. Von said he's playing for Ware and Manning. I assume this is the sentiment throughout the organization.

 

[cdumler7]

Part of me wishes we could bring back Champ even if it is to be one of the non-active players on the roster. More so than Manning deserving another one at least for me as a Bronco fan I thought Champ deserved one more.

I think it will go like this - Manning will tell people privately he's head toward shutting it down, but after the game he will say he is thinking about it and will make an announcement in a month or so.

I have been thinking this since the start of the playoffs, or that he's already had that speech. Agreed that D Ware could give another. Just today I had an image of Ware Manning and Owen Daniels calling a players only meeting before the game...maybe i am telepathic?

 

[Mingo]

They are representing the Denver Broncos what else to they need to play for?

 

[randymon]

To me anyway, Manning retires regardless of SB. If they win, he goes out in the best way imaginable. If they lose, he knows he has no shot anywhere else nor would he want to learn a new system and in Denver it would be another pay cut and back up Brock who Elway is not going to let go. This is Mannings last rodeo and it would make no sense to be anything else.

Yep. He knows he's done and so do the Broncos. This is it. Win!!!!

Von has one more game like last week and he is going to be over a 100 Mill reasons to play for

 

[Mingo]

If Manning does try to return for another year - somewhere - he will be Bret Favred by the media.
