Manning to Broncos; NFC Improved in 2012-13

The decision of Peyton Manning to move up from the Colts to the Broncos was just one of a fascinating number of quarterback movements in the off-season. The NFC looks to be the best it has been in quite a while with at least ten teams in capable of reaching the playoffs and Superbowl.

Tebow's passing style might have been a little frustrating to watch for John Elway-the GM of the Broncos. Elway himself was something like Jim McMahon with better passing stats and Tebow more like Tony Romo.

If Alex Smith signs with Miami then Tebow might be the Q.B for San Francisco-he would be a good influence on the City by The Bay and may have a calling to work for Coach Harbaugh.

With the NFL draft next month the off-season becomes even more interesting. The Cowboys ought to finish last or next to last in their division the next five seasons as the Redskins and Panthers rise while the Giants remain somewhat the same.

The actual football season may be an anti-climax to the off-season chess game of player acquisition.

Teams with a good chance to make the Superbowl in 2012-13 are everyone in the NFC East except the Cowboys and Eagles. The Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers. The level of competition is improved over the past decade regarding AFC vs NFC quality. The Broncos in the AFC are obvious possibilities to reach the Superbowl as well as other perennial AFC teams such as the Steelers and Patriots.
