Why would Peyton want to play with that o-line and those receivers?

yes he would, in fact we have a better o line and receivers than your over rated team.

I don’t want the hawks to overpay for a QB at the end of his career. He may never play again, to high a risk. We just got rid of a QB at the end of his career. We got a temp. Journeyman QB Tjack until our young OLine gets experience. They will be great. No Manning please.

If the hawks wanted a legit vet qb they would have kept matt. they will stay young . i see 3 options, tjack,flynn or tannehill.

This isn’t news until we’ve heard from Archie.

Poor Tavaris. He’s always getting pushed aside by older QBs.

OK, I’m a homer but this article mentions the receiving group as if it was there fault the QB didn’t throw to them. Tarvaris only throws to guys who are either wide open (except Mike Williams) or named Sydney Rice. The group is actually really good and deep. Big targets, fast targets, and many targets for Peyton to throw to.

I don’t care what Ruston Weber said last week. If Indy doesn’t re-sign Manning Tennessee’s gotta go after him; they dump Hasselbeck; we re-sign him; and take a young QB in the draft.

Then we would have an arm (Tarvaris), the brains (Hasselbeck), and youth at the QB position.

Peyton can only play for the AFC. Daddy must have 2 chances per year at a SB ring. He will not stand to see one of his two boys eliminate the other from the playoffs!

What a lethargic way to end such a storied career… In a Seahwaks Uniform? As a Colts fan, that just seems wrong. Seahwaks or Cardinals would be a mistake for such a legend like Manning.

Peyton Manning and the Chiefs make sense. Chiefs have a strong D, decent receivers, and a strong run game. The biggest problem is the front office probably want go for it.

Well obviously T-Jack(off) is not the long term answer and no chance at one of the top QB’s in the draft why not take a chance on an incentive laden contract, no way i would give him 26m though. If he tanks then we are right back where we are.

As much as people like to fantasize about Peyton Manning playing on a different team, these are the realities that this guy is going to deal with.

The only teams that are actually in the market for Peyton are teams that aren’t very good. There are no 2009 Vikings for Manning to join in 2012. The most he’s going to get is a mid-level team like the Dolphins, Seahawks, or the skanky Redskins. Sorry Peyton fans …

I’d actually like to see it happen. A SB team not too long ago, a potentially good offense with a Beast to balance it out, an a great crowd.

They should really be focused on somthing possible. Like a new arena to bring the NHL in and NBA back to Seattle.

You can tell which posters are Seahawks fans cause they talk about each player in hypotheticals and a “shoulda/coulda/woulda” fashion.

No doubt the Seahawks become instantly better if they sign Manning – he has the ability to make WRs better then they are. The Seahawks do have a decent running game in Lynch and a good defense and in the NFC West (because the division is so bad) they are always contenders. Manning would have an easier time going to the NFC West and making it to the playoffs BUT once he is there (in the playoffs), it’ll be tough.

The decision for Seattle to make is if they want a short term solution/gamble in Manning

Brock Xavier Huard (born April 15, 1976 in Seattle, Washington…enuff said what else would you expect him to say what a HOMER!!!

By: westclaims

westclaims — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:26:48 +0000

Huard sure dismissed the Chiefs, Cards, and the Titans quickly in his letter didn’t he? Didn’t really give a true reason as to why the would not be a good fit. That’s very telling.

Holding my breath in AZ.

Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate are two great reasons for any QB to like Seattle. Zach Miller, who, as someone else noted, spent most of this last season blocking, is another.

The line made some significant improvement as the year went on, and had enough depth that they were able to play well even after 60% of the starters were on IR.

Not to take anything away from Edgerrin James, but did Manning ever have the kind of physical presence at RB like Lynch to turn around and hand to 20-25 times a game?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a Seahawks fan and not really in favor of getting Manning, for a few reasons: He may still be hurt and never play the same way again, he’s probably going to want a ton of money, and even if he is healthy, he’d only be good for another year or two.

We’ll see how it breaks down once the Colts decide to release him…if they do. If Seattle can sign him as a free agent, that’s one thing; if Indy thinks they can get something in a trade, they’re dreaming.

Why do redskins fans act like he’d want to go to Washington. What do they have, a crap team for the past 20 years. I’d rather go to Seattle over Washington if I was Manning.

What a jokester you are here’s a little hint Seattle is in WASHINGTON booyah!!! Ok seriously mnfan1 what is that Minnesota Fan if so please get real how many Lombardi’s are sitting in Minnesota or Seattle for that fact…what has your team done in the last 20 years???

as someone who lives in DC, i can NOT imagine PM would put up with Snyder or Shannahan.

The general feeling in DC is that the redskins are destined for mediocrity again

Been saying this one for the last 3 months. Manning and Reggie Wayne (not sure what Seattle’s cap situation is) both to Seattle and this team is in next year’s playoffs. SF will be getting a first place schedule so who knows what can happen within the division.

Uh, Matt Moore is a young quarterback. He’s only been in the league for 5 years and his 13 games played in last season are the most of his career.

Zero chance Manning goes to a low-profile NFL city like Seattle.

After watching him ruthlessly and repeatedly steal the spotlight of his well-deserving brother during Super Bowl week I fully expect him to go for the biggest combination of chance to win/publicity he can get.

This media hound will probably end up a Jet.

Quality of Life issues for his family will probably drive Manning’s considerations. His wife Ashley has her own fashion career as well as raising relatively new twins. Money is not important to Peyton now. In order to enhance his legacy, it is best if Peyton seems he is putting his family concerns ahead of his own. It probably will significantly uncomplicate his life if doctors inform him that he will not recover significantly to play professional football again. There is also the risk of reinjury at his position. IMO Peyton will renegotiate his contract with the Colts to delay a decision on his football future. Irsay could be both clever and magnaminous and offer Peyton an equity postion in the Colts should Peyton decide to hang up his cleats.

Seattle or Miami make more since than any other teams. 49ers maybe if they they let Smith go FA, but he’s top 10 passer rating this year, knows the system, and is ten years younger than Peyton. Cards are on the hook with Kolb. Peyton won’t go to the Skins because of his brother in NY. Same for the Jets, who also have no cap space and are contractually (and cap hit) committed to Sanchez.

Brock Huard from ESPN radio hardly qualifies as Seattle Media. Ask any real Seattle sports fan or Journalist about adding an Peyton Manning and they’ll probably tell you its the best idea since the Sonics signed Patrick Ewing or the M’s signing Richie Sexton

Everyone that says Manning won’t go there because of no offensive weapons need to remember Reggie Wayne will probably follow wherever Manning goes.
Not to mention the Deal will be done before free agency starts so they will have time to plan weapons around Manning.

Looking forward to another offseason of suprises!
