08:13 AM ET 03.21 | This may not be the day, but soon the Broncos are going to have to think about who will be holding the clipboard when Peyton Manning takes over. Even if Manning takes every snap of OTAs and minicamp, who knows if he'll be able to take a hit until Week 1? The Broncos are trying to build a championship team for 2012, but Elway also must prepare for the long-term. ... [Manning's contract] recognizes the risk and looks like a series of one-year contracts. Elway joked about "Plan B" Tuesday, but finding the right backup remains a huge priority for Elway. That backup is unlikely to be Tim Tebow. Don't be surprised if the Broncos draft their quarterback of the future -- aka Plan B -- in April.

Stay away from Tannehill...

Not this year if PM has anything to say about it. He needs receivers, and a lot of them.

Stay away from anyone not named Luck or Griffin.

Peyton's ready to start another Iron Man streak. They don' need no steenkin' backup.

Tebow isn't worth much in trade, so they might just keep him. On the other hand, if the Jets are interested, they might get way too much for him.

Plan B? What Plan B?

Plan B could turn out more like "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

Dump Tebow. You're not going to get more for him at any time other than NOW.

I think the Broncos are about to enter that " doughnut hole " in the back up QB coverage.

I thought the worst movie was "The Terror of Tiny Town"

Honorable mention has to go to "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians".

Man, I miss Mystery Science Theater 3000...

I dunno ... I kinda thought "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes" would get an honorable mention too! LOL

Are we forgetting Waterworld? Those old movies have an excuse for being horrible. Low budget, zero effects, horrific props... Waterword had a 9-digit budget, and sucked arse.
