The only thing that the Titans offered him was a MUCH, much better running back & better WR core. Which Peyton proved for ten years, he doesn't really need. Just a shutdown defense.

Titans have a younger defense. 4 rookies started last year and they gave up 6 less PPG than the Broncos. They're just not as flashy (sacks).

Anyways, I HIGHLY doubt "defense" was a factor at all.

I think it was John Elway, perhaps not wanting to be in the same division as the Colts and the pressure/attention of playing where you went to College.

Chamillitary Click:
That has a lot to do with the division. 1/4 of your schedule was against the Colts & Jags lol.

& pre-Tebow, the defense just didn't care lol. Not to mention they got BLOWN OUT a few games because with Tebow the offense was "run, run, incomplete pass, punt" & the other team had twice as many possessions as they saw against anybody else. Eventually that style will get beat.

But defense may not have had anything to do with it. There isn't a shutdown defense in the AFC West. If you look at worst defenses in terms of giving points up in the AFC it goes Bills, Raiders, Colts, Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs. That's the entire AFC West in the bottom five lol.

The South has the Titans & Texans.

Shallow:
I'm going to assume that his decision was based on Saturday coming in too and Peyton running the exact same offense he ran in Indy. There was no way he was going to do that with Harbaugh and I guess Denver beat out Tenn in that department. I see Dallas Clark coming in too. My main concern is that Fox is just as conservative as Dungy. Hope he doesn't rest players while going perfect.

Although looking at the Schedule for Denver in 2012, Manning is really pushing it. He picked the worst team of the bunch going after him, and while it's the weakest division he has to go into New Orleans, Baltimore, Pitt, and NE. He has to play a Chargers Defense, that plays very well against him, twice, and against Ron Rivera's Panthers.

I mean this upcoming season can turn into a real bust based on that schedule alone. I'll say this; he gets a ring next year and he wins best NFL player ever award hands down.


On a side note; a kid I grew up with plays on the Broncos o-line.

Lunatic:
^ Titans would have brought in Saturday also. Actually, Saturday is still scheduled to visit the Titans this week. He'll end up a Bronco though.

And Cham yes, the AFC south will be run by the Texans & Titans for the next 5 years.

OG Jaydc:
This is a dream scenario for elway. This was the only move he could make that wouldn't have turned the fan base on him for replacing tebow.
