Peyton Manning

[Beco]

The younger has 2 rings.

The elder has 1.

Numbers never lie.

I believe in Eli.

This aint baseball pal.....the better QB will be proven to be Peyton. YOU and everyone like you demand championships to be invited to the HOF. But Trent Dilfer has a ring....the Redskins won with three different QB's, none were that special....

but you have a point and if I had to take Eli, wouldnt bitch....

I just base the most excellence on rings. Getting it done when it matters the most. It is the product that counts more than the process.

Eli is a main part of the success and kept them in the hunt when the rest of them were not playing like "Giants" at all.

Peyton is good but also had a great amount of talent to catch the ball and some really good running backs.

The most encouraging words re: Manning's rehab seem to be coming from ESPN's Chris Mortensen:

...if Peyton Manning is as healthy as I am having some doctors tell me he is, and I had one more doctor call me last night actually kind of angry, uh, that, he said, "Do you guys not get it that this guy is on the ascent, that this guy is throwing the football well, that he is healthy, that he is not at risk?" And I said I don't think a lot of guys do get that; does the owner of the Colts get it?

The Colts must decide by March 8...

...11 days from now.

That same guy (Chris Mortensen) also said much more making it seem like Miami is the right choice for Manning.

Does not matter where the heck he goes.

Can even go to the same city and play for the Jets.

Eli is still much better and more successful right now.

I think Peyton is the best of the Mannings. You can not just go by titles as it takes a whole team to win one. Peyton has played his whole career with an average or worse defense, which means you have nothing to help you when you do not score. I take nothing from Eli has he is a good QB, but when greatness is talked about, I do not see him in the conversation at this point.

Local Nightly News covered Jason Taylor's annual golf tournament and the main topic at the event today was ---> Peyton Manning.

Brandon Marshall said Ross and Ireland make great decisions. They know what's best for the team and he'd more than welcome Manning. Said he doesn't have much of a say because his job is to make big plays (he then grinned, as if to add, fuck yes, bring me Peyton).

Zach #54 Thomas (Urlacher's mentor and Jason Taylor's brother-in-law) still has zero neck but said Peyton is probably the best QB to ever play the game and if the Dolphins have an opportunity to get him, by all means, go for it. He really talked him up.

Jason Taylor pretty much repeated Zach but was the only one to mention a "healthy Peyton" as opposed to the others sidestepping the issue.

Rem: if the Colts don't do a deal with Reggie within 2 weeks (March 13), he's a free agent...

Peter King: Wherever Manning goes, trusted receiver Wayne may follow

Which includes this tidbit:

And one more note from potential free agency, according to a source close to another free-agent receiver: Pierre Garcon, another Colt soon to be free, turned down a five-year contract offer from Indianapolis last week. More than one general manager at the combine said that's a sign Garcon doesn't want to do anything until he knows what Manning is going to do. What if, say, Washington GM Bruce Allen, with $49 million in cap room before adding the earned-incentives from the 2011 salary-cap year, says to Manning: "We'll recreate your 2010 receiving corps, and you'll have a defense already strong enough to play at a Super Bowl level.'' Could be very tempting.

I mentioned the Peyton/Reggie package deal last page - post #188 and about Pierre Garcon also working out with Manning/Wayne down here post #189. That was like 5 days ago so for Peter King to come out with it today, well..

Am getting to high for my britches with all this. When I get all excited about something it usually doesn't happen. Therefore, I'm going to think all this Miami Dolphins stuff is simply a dream to come true and that Manning will be wearing a Redskins jersey next season.

Well...

...of course.

...My two faves in the NFL world

Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne...

...possibly a package deal

...for the Miami Dolphins?

I'm surprised with how well I've contained myself in this thread because that is some seriously serious good stuff to wish for. This ain't like wondering, 'Oh, I hope Jake Long doesn't get another fucked up tattoo during the off-season...'

No no no no no, this is about Thee Peyton Manning and Thee Reggie Wayne signing with Thee Miami Dolphins.

Even when buying overpriced aging stars works it's a temporary fix that I've never agreed with. Always better to build a team with young talent and patience.

I read (or heard) a bit ago that Manning has property down there (and Wayne is from there, right?)...

...seriously: if he doesn't stay in Indy, and considering every other environment, I hope they both land in your 'hood.

Sorry, but I really hope that does not happen. I know he may not be real popular down there but I would stick with Matt Moore...or grab another young, mobile quarterback and build talent around him.

My bet is that Payton does not last the season as a starter, either due to performance or to injury.

I don't think any team would bench Manning for performance even if it was bench-worthy. Just one of those things even the best coach wouldn't do. Injury however is another story. His head is about ready to fall off. I can't imagine why he wants to continue playing.

The pockets are deep with those running the Dolphins - so deep that they offer facials and deep massages to the rich wives bored with the game during the game at the game.

The Heat have co-owners Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, The tennis Williams sisters and the list goes on.

With this Miami mentality, it makes perfect sense to risk it all on Peyton. Fans here haven't been able to root for a franchise quarterback since Marino. Noodlearm or not (apparently not), why the fuck not go for one of the best QBs to ever play the game.

Speaking for myself, I would just see it as another expensive patch job which in the best case might buy you a couple years of starting quarterback level perfomance (emphasize best case). For that, you are going to sink a shitload of money to get him there. Maimi already has a horrible repuation in terms of the number of quarterbacks they have brought in since Dan retired.

I understand your points but really believe they should invest in a good, young talent with the hope of developing a franchase quarterback that will be around and grow with the team for many years to come.

Just go for it. We talk about it here in KC, too. We are pretty sure it won't happen here, though. In fact our coach may have gotten in trouble for tampering by comments he made the other day. When asked about Manning he said he couldn't comment on him.............Then proceeded to comment on him....lol.....If the medical staffs of another team deem him fit to play then a team should go all in. This opportunity doesn't come around often...A young QB to grow with would be ideal but who knows if one will come around.

I can only see Manning going two places...

...indoors or Miami.

(Putting Seattle in the possible picture...)
