He'd be foolish to leave....I think the 49ers know that too.
It's a leverage play.
I think that the 49ers lose out on Manning, but I just hope that it doesn't affect Smith's confidence.
The Dolphins have whiffed on every single big-name coach and player they've tried to acquire, and they traded away their best receiver. What a failure that franchise has been lately.
I know how to fix that franchise, and it starts with removing Jeff Ireland.
According to a tweet by ESPN's Louise Cornetta over the weekend, John Clayton reportedly said on ESPN radio over the weekend that if the Denver Broncos end up signing quarterback Peyton Manning that "the rumor circulating" is that the Broncos would then trade quarterback Tim Tebow to the Patriots.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels drafted Tebow with the 25th pick in the first round when he was the head coach of the Broncos in 2010. McDaniels never started Tebow but used him in the Broncos goal-line offense before he was fired in December 2010 after less than two years on the job.
"Coach McDaniels is a great coach and he'll do a good job," Tebow said in January after McDaniels rejoined the Patriots.
Tebow met with the Patriots prior to the 2010 draft, dining with Patriots coach Bill Belichick in Boston's North End. Belichick, who is also friends with Urban Meyer, Tebow’s coach at Florida, spoke last season about what he remembered from the visit.
“We brought Tim in and spent a whole day with him here, in addition to our other interactions with him,’’ Belichick said in December. “He’s an impressive young man. He had great success in college, I think all his attributes are pretty well documented. He’s a strong guy, smart, works hard, a great leader, great football character.’’
One question leading up to the draft was if a team would be willing to give Tebow a shot at playing quarterback, or if he’s be better suited at a different position. Nick Caserio, the Patriots’ director of player personnel, said the team evaluated him for only one position.
“I don’t really think there was any other position he played,’’ Caserio said. “He was a quarterback, and that’s what we evaluated him as.’’
In January, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady silenced Tebowmania by throwing six touchdown passes to launch the Patriots into the AFC championship game with a 45-10 romp over Tebow and the Broncos at Gillette Stadium. Tebow finished the game 9 for 26 for 136 yards passing.
Manning reportedly worked out for the Broncos, one of the Manning finalists along with the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers, on Friday.

I wonder where Tebow will end up.
