When will the Cardinals learn that Skelton is the answer

If the Cards signed unproven fragile flower Kevin Kolb (whose only apparent talent is to get hurt and lose his job) for the incredibly stupid amount they did, I can’t imagine what they’ll give to a REAL Hall of Fame QB! Maybe if Cards fans are lucky, Bidwell will actually just sign the team over to Peyton, which may be the only way to avoid another 40 years of failure.

Those of you that think this is a bad fit, tell me a better one?
1. Peyton would get to play in a dome. That cannot be underestimated in importance.
2. He goes to a team that has one of the top receivers in the NFL. Peyton throwing to Fitz has to intrigue him.
3. Whiz fits the mold of who Peyton has had as his coaches. Cerebral, even tempered. Think Tom Moore and Tony Dungy.
4. The Cardinals have an up and coming defense and with Ryan Williams combined with Beanie a solid running game.
5. The Cardinals won 7 of their last 9 games and dont play in a strong division. Sure you have to contend with the Niners, but you don’t have multiple playoff teams in your division.

Of course the Cardinals need O Line help and that will be addressed in FA and through the draft. Arizona is about as good a fit as any
team out there for Peyton.

Dream on. If Peyton ever plays again, it’ll be for the horseshoes.

If this happens, K0lb will be booking his ticket to Cleveland.

“Peyton Manning (IF healthy) to Larry Fritzgerald? SCARY”

Peyton Manning (IF healthy) running in terror from Justin Smith, Red Bryant, Aldon Smith, and Chris Clemons? SCARY

nfc west is quickly losing that worst division tag. harbaugh, carroll, fisher with spags & schotty, whisenhunt with that jets assistant that trips opposing players…lots of good coaching talent in the nfc west.

here we go again with the what if speculations…geez, irsay did say he wants to keep manning and doctors are optimistic he can play again…worse case if he’s cut many teams will go after peyton and not just the cards

Let’s see… they got robbed blind for an unproven QB. How much will the Cards mortgage for a health risk?

Dear Bill Bidwell. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring a broken down, over the hill non mobile quarterback to the NFC West.

Cards are one good, HEALTHY QB and FIVE OL’men away. So, if Peyton can get a neck transplant and bring 5 quality linemen with him, then this is a good idea for the Cards.

Could be interesting – I would hope he would demand they change that ridiculous uniform color scheme. Maybe that would also inspire the Bengals, Falcons and Seahawks, too.

hmm…I bet there are about a few more NFL team without a starting QB named Brady or Manning that are interested in Peyton. WOW, Shefty is brilliant. I wish I could get paid to make wild guesses about what might happen this off season.

Along with roughly 20 other teams..

I think Kevin Kolb is going to end up as the highest paid backup QB in NFL history. Given the fact that John Skelton arguably played better than Kolb last year, that could drop Kolb down to the #3 spot in the Cardinals QB pecking order. Maybe they’ll just cut Kolb and the Eagles will pick him back up as Michael Vick’s backup, replacing Vince Young. How things seem to go full circle.

We’ll take Kolb back, we could use a solid backup.

Kurt Warner was washed up when he got to Arizona, Theysone? Hmm…crazy. I’m astonished that a ‘washed’ up QB led the Cards to the Super Bowl.

Let’s not forget, people, that Peyton Manning led the Colts to the Super Bowl just a couple seasons ago. He’s missed 16 games his entire career. So now he’s washed up and/or retiring? Ha! Ok! You all sound like fools when you make statements like that.

How funny one year after trading for Kolb. Also, if Manning is an FA, MANY teams will make offers. Assuming he passes a bunch of physicals, and if doctors judge that it is safe, Manning could play another 5 years.

By: blaz0037

if the Colts are dumb enough to let Manning go based on pure assumptions about a college kid’s possible POTENTIAL, I assume 20 teams would be willing to bend over backwards to get him.

Why is this not tampering? Manning is under contract. There is no indication that he is going to be a free agent.

_______________________________________________________

Stop snitching! Snitches get stitches where I’m from. It’s not tampering b/c there is no way to prove the Cards said this – if it’s not a direct quote bro. All they have to do is deny it. Schefter said it – not Coach Whiz or someone.

This would be a perfect offense for Peyton! They have a pretty good run game to along with that pass game. I also want Peyton to continue playing indoors so he can do his pre-snap shenanigans. The Indy crowd is an educated crowd. They are super quiet when on offense. These clowns here in Atlanta start getting loud when we’re on offense. When the team makes the signal for us to quiet down – they get even louder. We’re the worst pro sports city in the nation!

Thumbs Down this if you’re a Fair weather Falcons Fan who isn’t even from Atlanta originally and is pretty much clueless about football – you just come to see some chicks at the Dome…smh

Arizona: The place where hall of famers’ careers go to die

Yeah, because Kurt Warner sucked when he went there. Try again Witty McWittypants.
