He was shit on a little bit at Denver or taken for granted at the very least.
.
They put Manning's decision first, they pulled him in favor of getting Manning the reps going into the playoffs. Hell, he didn't even get any Super Bowl snaps in garbage time when they were getting their asses handed to them two years ago. Denver never made any remarks about him being their future QB. He's had to feel a little like he had been taken for granted.
At least he didn't pull a Mallett melt down.
He did well in the press conference today thanking Elway, Kubes, Fox and on down the line. Reporters gave him an opportunity to take a shot at Denver for the way he was treated and the reports that he didn't like the system and he didn't bite. He said he loved BoB's fire and passion and just wants to get to work.
At 37 million guaranteed though, he needs to be more than a game manager. dude better be making plays.
