Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas echoed Kubiak’s comments and said players are just “assuming” that Manning will choose to retire.

“When I look at the offensive line, it kind of reminds me of how much they need an intimidator, how much they need a tough guy, a tone-setting guy, a guy that goes down there that punches somebody in the face and kicks them in the scrotum”, Harrison said. I don’t know if he knows himself or he thought about it, but when you get to year 19 and you deal with some injuries and things going on it’d be a good way to go out.
“I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to”, Newton said to the Charlotte Observer. It just so happens to be the Super Bowl. Manning stood across from a similar defense – Seattle’s – in the Super Bowl two years ago. “No con- firmation on that”, Manning said. The difference is that Denver has proven it can win with a marginalized Manning, which wasn’t the case against the Seahawks.
And Eli Manning, who has won two Super Bowl titles to one for Peyton, is among those who gets the feeling that Super Bowl 50 might be the moment when his five-time NFL Most Valuable Player sibling hangs up his helmet for good. He was the starter of doing all that. “I have a lot of respect for that guy….” Manning, the crafty veteran now, will have to dig into his bag of tricks and try and pull one more game out against the odds.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning jokes with reporters after an NFL football practice at the team’s headquarters, Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016, in Englewood, Colo.
Manning’s fourth Super Bowl will be the biggest game of his career. He missed the next six games with a partially torn left plantar fascia.
Kubiak said he’ll lean on his leaders next week in San Francisco to make sure the team stays focused on football. “Never been a discussion or come up in any way”. John Elway pointed out that he wanted them in white due to their past record wearing the orange jerseys: The Broncos lost all four Super Bowls they played in while wearing orange jerseys. “But I know it’s special to have him back in the huddle leading the way”.
He said: “He’s going to do what he has to do to win”. Obviously, he got the opportunity in the Chargers game and stepped up and led some nice drives and got the win to lead the team into the playoffs.
