Peyton Manning is a Bronco, So What's the Future of Tebowmania?

          Over the past few years, NFL fans like myself have seen a few interesting couplings of franchise-face QB's and teams. Brett Favre was a Viking. Donovan McNabb was a Redskin. And now Peyton Manning is a Bronco.

          It wouldn't have been my choice. I love visiting Denver, but Manning could have gone to the Titans and ignited their weak fan-base like wildfire, given his Volunteer roots (there are more Colts fans than Titans fans in Tennessee). Or he could have joined Harbaugh's championship-bound 49ers with a solid defense, running game and receiver corps, not to mention great seafood. Yet he chose the Broncos, joining John Elway and maybe Tim Tebow. I say "maybe" because Denver's been in the recent habit of releasing backup QB's (even good ones) when they think they've found a good one (poor Kyle Orton has been bounced around a lot recently).

          I've already posted about Tebow and a "theology of football," so this turn of events begs the question: what is the future of Tebowmania? Denver has somewhat been his niche. Can another city be? How does this affect his career and his seeming ministry? Thoughts?

          Peyton Manning is a self-dubbed Christian. Not as outspoken as Tebow, and different in other ways, too. If he has any of Dungy's spirit and team-building capability in him, Denver (and Tebow especially, if he can stay) is in good shape in more ways than one.
