I disagree, I don't think Manning was concerned about their record so much. I think he was looking at the defense the Bronco's had and their offensive skill players. Also I think that is why it's valid that Manning wanted to go to the texans too.
OK update from what I am hearing now. Looks like Moncrief will come out. Didn't know that he had a daughter born this summer and that has changed his priority and also caused him to press some this season.
