Manning

Some interesting stuff happened in the last few days in the Manning department. That dark horse team that I thought might come out did. The 49ers, who haven't resigned Alex Smith, have been in contact with Manning and worked him out earlier in the week. How they managed to sneak this in with the amount of Media following the Manning situation is surprising, really. But since then the Broncos and Titans have had another meeting with Manning, worked him out and made him pass a physical. It is believed that Manning will make a decision on Monday or Tuesday. Therefore watch this space in the coming days. In my mind if all Manning cared about is winning he should pick the 49ers. They are the best team of the three and really only a QB away from winning a Superbowl.

Still a bit disappointed with the fact we only have one signing. If we could get LB Hayes, McClain and CB Trufant in the coming days I would be more pleased. One thing I am very worry about is our QB situation. With Brady Quinn going to the Chiefs that leaves the Broncos with only Tebow and Weber under contract. The problem being if the Broncos miss out on Manning there is not many quality QBs left. Personally I am now hoping that Manning goes to the Titans. The Titans then cut Hasselbeck and we sign him to be Tebow's back up. The other QB that I would be interested in is Caleb Hanie. Hanie isn't the greatest but he is young and athletic. He could fight with Weber for that 3rd spot. Hanie would probably win and Weber can go back on the practice squad. It would be interesting to see what the Broncos do here if/when they miss out on Manning.

That is it from me for now as we await the Manning decision ~ Aussie.
