I'm not in any way saying we could replace him, I'm only suggesting he can't assume he'll have the same success elsewhere. We're assuming the Broncos will convert to Manning's system, but Manning didn't create that system. Tom Moore did. Is Peyton going to teach it to his new mates? That's an awful lot of responsibility, and we have yet to see him play with his new team. Everyone talks about how he called the plays in Indy, and while that may have been true a lot of the time, he had an offensive coordinator to teach it. I didn't really pay attention to any hires they may have made, so maybe they hired an OC who runs that style of offense.

I don't think it's as easy as just following a blueprint, though. There are a lot of teams trying to mimic each other right now, but it takes good coaching to make it run smoothly. Sean Payton has a proven track record as the best offensive mind in football, whereas Manning enters a franchise that hasn't been able to spell offense in recent years. I absolutely believe he makes that team better, but I don't think they're title contenders.

We'll see. This is only my opinion. I Just don't think there's anywhere Drew can go where he'd be better off.
