How many Bronco fans still wish for Tebow instead of Manning?

Peyton Manning looked pretty good last night against the Steelers.
If (big IF) he can stay healthy this year I suspect that most Bronco fans will not regret the team trading for Manning ans sending Tebow to the Jets.

I like Tebow and still think it is funny (I'm trying to imagine Manning passing while sitting in a wheelchair and Tebow passing standing up; and wondering who would be the better passer).
Peyton Manning never beat Florida while at Tennessee, and never won a national championship.
Tim Tebow won a couple of national championships at Florida.
In Tim Tebow's first year as a starter, he took a 1-4 Denver team to the Playoffs, and beat Pittsburgh in the first round.
Peyton Manning never took a 1-4 Colts team to the playoffs, however he did beat Pittsburgh in his first game as a Bronco.
Right now I'd say Tebow accomplished more in his college career, and did more in his first year as an NFL starter then Manning did.
But only time will tell what the future holds.
<< <i>That was a HUGE confidence game for Manning. After almost two years on the shelf, it must feel pretty good for him. He was very impressive but his zip has definitely lost something. Also, I'm surprised he opted not to sign with the 49ers as that appeared to be his best chance for a ring. Being a life long Raiders fan, I can't believe I'm partially going to be rooting for the Broncos this year. >>
Agreed, Ive always liked Manning even when he was fighting my Patriots pretty much every year for the AFC. Personally Im a little upset that he missed a whole season because I would have liked him to break Favres all time passing yards record.

Ahhh, I remember when the OP asked who had the better college career or first year as a starter. Oh, wait...
But John Elway knows what's best
I've always contended that out of all the QBs in the G.O.A.T discussion (for those that want to put him there, I don't), that Manning throws the worst ball. His timing and accuracy are impeccable, which makes up for a lot, but IMO he's never really thrown a great ball.
Too bad he wasn't able to take advantage of the one dome game he has this year.
Also, don't count Manning out just because he had a bad night against Atlanta.
It's funny how so many people sitting in their armchairs know so much about football and how good or bad players are!
<< <i>I don't think it is fair to compare Manning and Tebow. Manning was great and is still very good, but is in the twilight of his career. Tebow was very very good in college and did take the HoHum Bronco's to the playoff's and beat the Steelers. His future status as a QB is still in the making. I think if someone took the time to groom him he could become a great QB, but everyone seems to be down on him for some reason. >>
Probably because he had four years of heavy-duty training at Florida, and is now in his third in the NFL, and he still has horrible technique. He's worked on his throwing almost non-stop since leaving Florida - with little effect. He simply is not, and will never be, a good throwing QB.

...and Peyton's effort today isn't helping things. How youuuuuuu doin' John Elway?

Denver is sitting pretty good after 6 weeks of the season, tied for first at 3-3 with a tie breaker over the Charges based upon division record. A comment last night was that Denver's remaining schedule is not as difficult as the first 6 games (well 5 games, excluding the Oakland Raider blowout) were.
Go Denver.
Oh and San Diego should absolutely ashamed at themselves
