The mistake Denver made was they panicked in the San Diego game, brought Manning in and he did a spectacular job handing the ball off to running backs and they won the game.
To top that mistake off, they named Manning the starter for the playoffs. In reality, they should have lost that Steelers game had that moron running back not fumbled as Pittsburg was going in for the score that would have iced the game.
Manning was a good game manager in the three playoff games, did virtually nothing in three games, the defense carried them to the Super Bowl; if Ostelmullerburgermyster had remained the QB, no doubt they would have still won the Super Bowl.
And yes, he seemed put off that they benched him, so he went elsewhere; I've got a feeling horseteeth will pull a rabbit out of the hat and throw **** against the wall with RGIII, Kapernick or Spinach chin Fitzpatrick and they'll catch lightning in a bottle again and get back to the playoffs.
It's the Donkos way.......................
