Eli, shmeli…..you think Peyton wants to play behind this o-line? Hard to throw on your back. He’s to Miami.

Gotta laugh at these people who claim they know so much regarding his health status but don’t even know his name is spelled Peyton.

The Redskins would be low on Manning’s list because he wouldn’t want to face his brother twice a year.

A waste of time even discussing it.

And yet, you are on here discussing it?

The risks of him going down with a career-ending injury on any hit at all is many times greater than any other player, too.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This is one of the things I get most tired of reading about this situation because it is 100% …get that 100% FALSE.
There was a doctor on NFLN not 4 days ago who performs something like 150 of these procedures a year or something and he said anyone who has this surgery and recovers properly is no more likely to get injured than any other player. LOADS of CONTACT POSITION players like LBs and OLs have had this surgery and returned to play. The DR who cleared Manning said that if he were his SON he would advise him it’s ok to play. The ONLY ISSUE is the nerve regeneration and if his arm will get back to normal due to that.

The other thing I get tired of is saying he will be a great coach. I disagree. Players like him are very seldom good coaches.

Couldn’t agree more… Sign Peyton Manning emmediately! Kyle @#+* Orton? Are you kidding me? Who ever wrote that must be a Cowboys or Eagles fan. That’s just stupid hater talk. The whole NFC East would be sh**ing their pants if Manning is throwing td’s to Skins wr’s… think about it. Mmmmmmmm, Kyle Orton? hahahaha. Hail!

Why would Peyton want to go to a team with a washed up head coach and a nepotism based inept offensive coordinator?

Does anyone really think that Shanahans with control freak daddy could use Peyton in any meaningful way?

To all who say Skins beat the Giants twice this year! Let’s put it in perspective. They beat a team that was riddled with injury at the time they played last game and an offense that had little time together to start the season. If they played today they would be 20 pt underdog and lose by 24. Lmao!

Manning is one big hit away from a wheel chair and is just milking the system. Irsay knows it and so does his advisers. Payton needs to go. The risks are just not worth the rewards and Payton got $23 million last year to do NOTHING on the sidelines. He didn’t help because theQB because he wanted to get PAID AGAIN for not playing.
Sorry Payton.
Time To Go.
Irsay would be INSANE not to cut you.
Our opinion of yourself,Payton, vs the good of the team (cap) is way over rated.
Someday, you will get dragged off the field on a
John Deere Gator… and never move again Payton.
OOOOPS.. guess the doctors were wrong.
Then what are you going to do?
It’s your neck dude.
I would quit now.
The risk is not worth the reward.
Best wishes.
I hope the $ is worth it if you play again and end up in a wheel chair or worse.

The Skins have won the division once in the last 20 years. With only 4 teams in the division they are now challenging the laws of probability. Signing Manning makes them a 7-9 team at best. They should continue to keep their picks and draft good players.

tylerncom…
While I would say that a 50% manning would still be a better pocket QB than a 100% Tebow at this stage…
Your statement that Tebow “does not win games” is simply idiotic.

Was that someone else wearing a Tebow Jersey for the Broncos going on a winning streak to rescue their season and winning a playoff game?

Guess it must have been…

And PLEASE don’t go to the “it was the defense”..

Look at the numbers before you speak. VERY leaky, and VERY suspect in many of the very same games Tebow won. The freaking VIKINGS put up almost 500 yards against the Broncos vaunted “D”.

Kyle Orton LMFAO!!!

Miami will get Manning
Seattle will Sign Flynn
Cleveland will land RGIII
Washington ends up with Kyle Orton

Yep, you guys are so screwed
————————————
Redskins land QB Ryan Tannehill and WR Malcolm Floyd by trading back with Cincinnati for the 17th & 21st picks. Yeah, we’re so screwed that we make the playoffs. In free agency, Skins sign Dwayne Bowe….oh we’re so really screwed.

Manning with a healthy roster makes the Redskins a playoff team. They can use the draft pick at #6 on a starting tackle. The 2 spots that cost the Redskins about 3 games last year were QB and rt…if he can be healthy and play 3-4 seasons, and cost zero draft picks, its the best QB move they could make. If he’s healthy, who’s a better QB for them the next few years that’s available??

“The Post’s beat writer Mike Jones makes the case that signing Kyle Orton would make sense instead of Manning.”

The most truthful sentance I’ve read on PFT in a long time.

If I were an owner, I wouldn’t even consider Manning. No one even knows if he can throw ten yards much less with any accuracy and velocity. And there is no way of knowing if that is ever going to change. The risks of him going down with a career-ending injury on any hit at all is many times greater than any other player, too.

And let’s not forget the exorbitant price tag that comes along with it.

Why take that risk if you can draft a decent QB for half the price or less. Then use the remaining money to get a couple of other good players or someone who can coach the new QB into something better than what they have now.

At this point, now of the teams being talked about are going to the Superbowl next year if they sign Manning or any other QB because they have too many other problems as well. But spending the money more wisely and getting 3 or 4 good players for the price of Manning gives them a chance to be better than this year and in the playoffs in a year or two.

What fan wouldn’t love to see their subpar team hit .500 in the upcoming season and then go 10-6 or better and in the playoffs the next? That would be a success by anyone’s standards.

If Peyton Manning does indeed leave Indy, which I believe he will not (95% my belief). He WILL NOT play in the NFC at any cost.

Eli Manning had nothing personally against SD when forcing the draft day trade. It is no more than the Manning family as a whole deciding the brothers will not be squaring off knocking one another from potential Super Bowls appearances.

If Peyton does leave I have no doubt that it will be tp play for an AFC club, all NFC clubs need not apply.

WThe only way Peyton would go to the Washington is if:

A. Eli gets traded to SanDiego.
B. Caldwell replaces Shanahan.
C. No one else wants him.
D. He really is a politician..

Manning is a good risk for the Skins. They have the money to “build their own QB” and utilize Manning as a starter this year.

Lets face it, this team hasnt been able to build a QB is well…ever. Having Peyton and a chance to be competitive for a couple years wont be the worst thing that ever happened to this franchise.

RG3 can sit and watch for a year before becoming a bust.

Lol @ these skins fans saying “we swept the superbowl champs”…the Seahawks beat them too. the ravens lost to the jaguars…it happens.but to stake your claim to greatness (or close to) is pitiful
