ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - As Peyton Manning considers whether to take the gold watch or make one more run at the silver trophy, there are many factors hes weighing: age, desire, vitality, security, relationships.General manager John Elway said the bottom line is we want him back. So, he asked Manning not to make up his mind until next month after hes had time to process everything.Back in September, Manning said he liked Tom Bradys When I suck, Ill retire quote.Thats a pretty good rule, Manning said on the eve of a season that was filled with fun (planning his own prank after breaking Brett Favres touchdown record) and frustration (another first-round flop in the playoffs after a nagging thigh injury).Hes surely pondering whether an 18th NFL season would look more like the first half of 2014, when a sixth MVP award seemed to await, or the second half, when he struggled to find rhythm and receivers alike.If he decides to come back, hell give everything he has because thats the kind of competitor he is and the love he has for this game, teammate Julius Thomas said Monday while promoting the release of the Havoc DLC pack for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.And if he decides his time of running around and getting chased by big guys is over, hell have so much to show for it.Although the sting of that last loss — 24-13 to the Colts — is sure to linger, NFL Network analyst and Hall of Fame finalist Terrell Davis said hes sure Manning is looking a lot deeper.My gut tells me that he comes back, Davis said. But if he comes back just because he didnt want to go out like this, I dont know if thats the right reason. You come back because you love the game, you want to compete, you enjoy working out, you enjoy going to practice.Manning has a lot of things to think about as he ponders his future:NEW FACES: Adam Gase and Manning were the perfect pair in Denver. Two mad scientists who liked to floor the high-octane offence. Now, Gase is in Chicago with John Fox, and Gary Kubiak is the Broncos coach and Rick Dennison his top offensive assistant.Although Kubiaks West Coast offence doesnt at first glance seem to jibe with Mannings improvisational style, Kubiak said its easy to build a playbook for him.Kubiak found it odd discussing the future of a player whos coming off a season in which he threw 39 TD passes.Look what he continues to do. The offence Peyton runs, hes tremendous at it, back there in the gun controlling the game, controlling the line of scrimmage. Nobody has ever done it better and hes the master at it, Kubiak said. Actually, Im looking forward to learning that style and that system that he has.Manning has successfully adjusted before. The last two times he had a new head coach, he went 14-2 and 13-3.BETTER PROTECTION: Manning paid a big price for Denvers trouble-filled offensive line, and Elway said hell fix it this off-season like he did the defence a year ago.Two starters — centre Will Montgomery and left guard Orlando Franklin — are among Denvers dozen unrestricted free agents. The other starters: Ryan Clady, Louis Vasquez and Manny Ramirez will be trying to recapture their old form after substandard seasons.AGE OR INJURY: Was that fizzling finish an omen or an aberration? Even if Manning determines it was health, not age, to blame, he has to decide if hes willing to put his body and mind through the grind of another season.I could see Peyton going both ways, Davis said. Theres no guarantee that if Peyton comes back hes going to be in any better situation. I think any quarterback or any player would love to walk out on top, thats the ideal way to walk out of this game. But the reality is thats not how most of us leave this game.And so, thats really the question that only Peyton can answer: How does he feel right now? And not right now, give him about a month or so and get away from this stuff, detox and heal up, and then start to miss the game, start getting that fire back in his belly.Notes: Kubiaks staff is taking shape. Agreeing to terms Monday were Dennison and TE coach Reggie Herring. Clancy Barone moves from TEs to coaching the O-line.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Rouge . However, it wasnt a problem on Monday night.

Thomas had 23 points off the bench and the Suns defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-89 on Friday night. After the Suns came close many times throughout the game to take a lead over the defending champs, Thomas blew past Boris Diaw in the open floor to finally put the hosts in front 88-87 with 3:34 left. San Antonio trailed 92-89 with 6.5 seconds remaining following a timeout, but Diaw was whistled for a five-second violation just before he signaled for a 20-second timeout.

Tony Parker supplied 19 points and six assists, while Tim Duncan added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Spurs, who edged Dallas in their first game of the year on Tuesday. It just didnt go our way. We didnt get baskets and we didnt get the stops that we needed to win the game, said Parker. It just happens, its basketball, it just didnt go our way.

Phoenix answered back with a 12-3 surge and Hornacek used a three point guard lineup in the final 4:35. After Thomas layup, Morris sunk two free throws and then put down a dunk off a Len interior pass to make it 92-87 in favor of Phoenix with 1:09 left on the clock. Manu Ginobili was fouled on a three and made 2-of-3 foul shots at the other end. Bledsoe was off on a jumper, Len backtapped the ball back to Thomas to retain possession, but Thomas misfired to give San Antonio possession with 16.9 ticks left. Earlier, a 15-3 Spurs first-quarter swing gave them an early 24-9 margin and they led 24-11 after the frame. The Suns began the second with a 13-2 run and later tied the game at 30-30 midway through the stanza after Len threw down an alley-oop pass from Bledsoe. San Antonio responded by putting in eight straight points and took a 45-36 lead into the break. The Spurs took a 71-67 edge into the fourth.
