Where will Manning land?

Peyton Manning, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, should be selecting his new home soon. The likely destination right now appears to be either Tennessee, Denver or San Francisco. But what is the best fit for Peyton?



Tennessee is where Peyton played his college ball. He would be teamed with Chris Johnson, who would be his best running back since Edgerrin James. Kenny Brit is coming off a major injury, but would be a true #1 for Peyton if healthy.

Denver would be an interesting choice, partnering Manning with one of the most popular players in the league, Tim Tebow. The Broncos have a solid running game and a good defense. Peyton could see this as a place where the team is ready to win.

San Francisco makes the most sense to me. Frank Gore is a top running back. Vernon Davis is a top tight end. The receiving corps features the highly touted Michael Crabtree and new additions of Randy Moss and Mario Manningham. The 49ers also have an elite defense. Patrick Willis leads the unit with a Ray Lewis-type of intensity.



Whoever lands Peyton Manning will immediately become one of the favorites to play in the Superbowl. You cannot underestimate the impact that a great quarterback can have.
