Eli Manning wants Peyton Manning to go out on top
He dropped his phone and cracked the screen – that’s another story – but when he finally restored his service, he learned the Broncos wanted to sign him to the practice squad to help them get ready for the Super Bowl against Carolina. “He’s played what-18, 19 years?” The Panthers’ value has also skyrocketed, from $206 million in 1993 to $1.56 billion today. I love the way you run keep climbing to be great’.
However, if the National Football League were to find that there’s any legitimacy to the HGH allegations, Manning’s legacy would certainly take a hit regardless of what happens against the Panthers in Super Bowl 50. They don’t exist anymore.
“I thought they had a good possibility just because, even two years ago, he was playing better than anybody at that time (including throwing a record 55 touchdown passes)”, Eli Manning said.

The five-time NFL MVP has all but said as much.
“You see just a fast and physical football team that’s created a lot of negative plays for offenses”, Manning said of the Panthers.
The Broncos will have a very hard task in the Super Bowl of trying to beat the Panthers, who racked up 15 wins in the regular season.
And it was Kubiak who decided when to bench an out-of-form Manning this season and when to return him to the starter’s role – on both occasions to the benefit of the team.
“I told Odell, ‘Hey, I know you’re captain, don’t feel any pressure to draft me”.
