    That would be a douchebaggy as Lebron, and I would no longer be a fan.

      49ers definitely aren't the flavor of the day. If he goes there he will arguably be on the best all around team that he's been on his entire career, they're in a weak division and he would be playing in a great city. If he's a smart as many of you say he is and winning another Super Bowl is the most important thing to him, then this decision is a no brainier.

        I just wonder if the 49ers can literally afford him. If they sign him, they may be looking to off-load some players.

          I think they have about 20 mil to spend.

            Sorry, but the 49ers are not the flavor of the day, some media to posters on here said San Francisco would be the best choice before Manning was even released by the Colts.

              Latest word is that Peyton has been offered $90M over 5 years. I'm no capologist, but I'd think the 49ers would be left pretty thin at the cap to sign draft picks and any other free agents. And that $20M was before Moss was signed.

                And I could've sworn that someone in here said the 49ers have already shown Alex Smith a new deal that, if Manning signs with them, would give Smith less per year, and he agreed to sign in that situation.

                  Cap space has something to do with it, but there are so many ways to circumvent the cap with a little imagination. Teams that are interested will find ways to make it work if they can get him. Front-load, back-load, signing bonus, restructuring other contracts...whatever. They will find a way. The Broncos just have the luxury of not having to be so creative if they happen to land him.

                    If Peyton truly just wants another ring, cap space for SF is not an issue

                      As a life-long 49ers fan and UT grad (and thus a huge Peyton fan) this is agonizing waiting to see where he signs.

                      If he signs with SF, I'll have a red #18 jersey to go along with my orange #16.

                        Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Randy Moss, Mario Manningham, Michael Crabtree, solid offensive line and the best defense in the NFL. He HAS to go to Frisco... He HAS to.

                          Alex Smith is visiting Miami, adding a twist for the Niners in this.

                            Yup, They dont want to end up with a 2nd year player as their starting QB. It would take them from potentially being a NFCCG team again to maybe a playoff team. Harbaugh likes Colin K., but he knows he isntready yet.

                              Nah. If 49ers truly wanted him back they would have made it happen. Don't believe everything Harbaugh says. Those comments on how good Smith is was to boost his ego. No one ever believed it.

                              Smith played a lot better last season, but I think plenty of QB's could have played that well in Harbaugh's system. Now if Manning doesn't sign with San Francisco and Smith goes to Miami, we will find out how good another QB will be.

                                The 49ers would definitely be interesting. Smith isn't terrible, but as has been said, he really benefited from being in the system last year.

                                I shudder to think what a healthy Peyton could do there.

                                That said, as long as he doesn't go to the Broncos, I think I won't be upset :P

                                I really support the Broncos moving forward with Tebow. And Im probably the only person who will openly say that.
