How do you figure that Manning is more important to the Broncos than AP is to the Vikings? From what I remember, the Broncos made the playoffs last year with Tebow at QB...they are in the same place now. The vikings were a 3 win team last year and will finish this year with between 8-10 wins and possibly make the playoffs. AP is almost the ENTIRE offense for the Minnesota Vikings and should be single handedly credited for every win they have this year. Being that the Broncos were in the same position with Tebow, I think that means that AP is much more important to his team.
