It’s like one of the Seven Wonders of the World coming to you.
Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning visited Denver last week seemingly scouting the prospect of new home in the Mile High City. He spent upwards of nine hours at the Denver Broncos training facility in Dove Valley with Vice President of Football Operations John Elway.
If Manning walked through your open door would you know what to do?
They’d possibly get him a nice plush blue-sheep clad pillow to sit on for his aching back. Elway would have to order him up a Denver omelet, and then wear out a laser pointer or two talking the language only elite quarterbacks know how to speak. And finally, Denver would not mention word about Tim Tebow.
Sure, Tebow will most likely slide over for a future Hall of Famer if he happens to come to Denver. Heck, Manning may even say “God Bless” after every press conference. And they would be quite the pair in a charity scramble event on the golf course.
But compatibility-wise, it’d be like mixing up two 1,000 piece puzzles together
Manning is a studier, a nerd, a gym rat. If he played basketball he’d draw up in-bound plays and perfect his free throw shot. His screens would be in the proper positions and his pivot foot would never leave the ground.
Tebow is a constructer, a specimen, a workaholic. He’d be in the gym just as much as Manning but instead he’d be dribbling two or three balls at the same time trying to get better. He would be running sprints to be more prepared than the other.
Either way the Broncos go, if they are lucky enough to snag a quarterback like Manning, it would be a risk.
Do they play hard (Tebow)? Or smart (Manning)? Or both?
