John Elway Still Wants Peyton Manning to be His Quarterback

If John Elway gets to choose, his quarterback next season will be Peyton Manning.

His coach: To be determined.

During a news conference Tuesday, Elway said he did not press Manning for a decision on his future when they met the day after Denver’s 24-13 loss to Indianapolis in the AFC divisional playoffs.

The Broncos executive vice president said he expects to reconvene with Manning in about a month to see where he stands.

Elway said he has not contacted anybody about his open head coaching job.

He described the parting with John Fox as the culmination of a disagreement over what it takes to win the Super Bowl.

Elway stuck to a statement that has lived with him since he signed Manning: “There is no Plan B. Plan A is still the same — to win a world championship.”
