All of a sudden the Titans were the lead horse. Then the Broncos gave Peyton a physical and John Elway went to watch him throw while the Cardinals and ‘Fins exited the race. Now it gets even better, the best fit of any team possible the SF 49ers have finally entered the fray (publicly). Thank God! It just makes too much sense! I hated finally having to remove the Niners from the Sweepstakes a few versions ago…….

The word is SF secretly went to Duke to watch Manning throw last week and have already administered a physical. What a stealth job as they attempted to keep things even keel on the Alex Smith front.

Denver Broncos – 52%

The HOF QB/Elway connection pays off here. Great all around situation for Peyton.

3/12/12 – 1%

They may have needed to secure this thing while they had him on the hook. How important is a homecoming?

San Francisco 49ers – 21%

This sounds really good…………Joe Montana, Steve Young, Peyton Manning!
