I’m not a 49ers fan, but upgrading with Peyton & Wayne could make a 28th ranked passing offense pretty scary. Add Crabtree, Gore, and V. Davis and they could easily match last years 13-3 record.

How many games did the Colts win last year? I didn’t think anything would be worse than the whole Brett Favre thing, however, PFT has proved me wrong.

Please……. NO MORE STORIES ABOUT MANNING until something actually happens… PLEASE!?!

This past month is all rumor and speculation. Next, we’ll hear “Rumor is that Manning will be coaching the Colts next year”

I’m sure Peyton wants more superbowl ings. SF would be a great fit they already have a great defense and several weapons on offense. They are in need of a consistent receiver on the outside. They were right on the doorstep of the superbowl as they were, and with upgrades at QB and WR like this……they will get their 6th superbowl championship….possibly more….

the colts need to be smart here and try and re sign reggie wayne and or pierre garcon. or pursue a legit FA receiver.. it will be worth the money to make sure Luck has at least one legit wide receiver to throw to unless they are comfortable with austin collie being their number 1

to those fans of teams who think they are getting a playoff now type of peyton, u might want to think again, peyton never had the strongest arm, and for him to lose some of that velocity who diminish his passes, easier targets for int!! look at some of his past few years passes, mostly wobbly passes and just imagine losing 30% on them passes, and u knw hes not gonna come to yr team on a cheap price tag, good luck to whoever team gets him, we are happy that the Luck era in indy is about to start!!

Reggie went to UM. Peyton has a house down here… add Jeff Saturday, and we got a deal… come on Dolphins, 3 signings and the draft (please get a decent TE and S) .. relevance… oh, I’m dreaming of it…

Marshall, Wayne (can expect zero double teams), Bess… Bush out of the backfield, ouch man… the defense is already better than anything he had in Indy.. ever…

my god, if you blow this Ireland… oh, nevermind, I’ll blame the owner, because you should have been out the door with Sparano.

I am a Colts fan also and am glad that they can get out of that terrible salary cap destroying contract since Manning isn’t quite 100% yet.

People will learn that you can’t pay anyone 1/5 of your payroll in a salary cap league and expect to field a balanced team.

I hope Manning has success on his second team but feel moving away from him to Luck is the best decision Itsay has made since drafting Manning.

He’s not playing anywhere cold, either. With his age and condition, it isn’t happening. He never fared too well in the cold to begin with.

Give it up Jets fans. He’s not coming your way. Will never play for the dysfunctional Jets. Mannings best days are behind him. And don’t give me “Peyton at 80% is still better than most qb’s” That is a bunch of bull. So Manning threading the needle at 100% will have the same success at 80%. Laughable. Lots more picks and incompletions. Manning is great, but he can’t continue to be great just because he wants to.

These two coming to your team may not be the slam dunk instant offense many think. Buyer beware…

As a Colt fan, I think I speak for what many Colt fans basically believe:

1. Hate to see Peyton and Reggie go, but if they do we want them to win a SB (unless they meet the Colts in the playoffs along the way).
2. Either Dolphins or Cardinals would be ok. Even Jets (because beating the Patriots would be satisfying).
3. He is not going to the Redskins. He and Eli did not like playing against each other the 2 times they have in their careers. He won’t sign up to do that twice a year.
4. Although Irsay is a bit eccentric, he has been a pretty darn good owner. Not many small market owners are as willing to spend money to be a winner as he is. Isn’t that the #1 thing you want from your owner, a true commitment to win. He is NOTHING like his dad.
5. Don’t feel too sorry for us, even if Peyton is unfortunately no longer with us. For the past 12 years we have watched a team play that we knew had a very good chance to win (and usually did) every week, home or away. Not many teams can say that. We went through 1 bad year and are rewarded with Andrew Luck, which gives us the potential to keep this going for several years in the future.
6. Reggie has been a class act throughout his career. Not at all a diva. We will hate to see him go, whether it’s now or in the future.

If the Cardinals end up with Peyton and Wayne, to go along with Beanie and Fitz? They got the NFC wrapped up.

Assuming Manning can even play well. A big IF! And people with these conditions commonly have setbacks. A big nightmare to whoever invests in him.

This would have been an amazing free agent tandem in 2006. It is now 2012, however, and both of these guys are in the twilight of their careers. It’s a young man’s game, as both of these players are about to discover.

The funny thing…
If Peyton Manning never had the surgery, not a single person on this site would be saying he is at the end of his career. Manning has been a super human. The guy may only have one SB title, but he has broken records that will take an awful lot to catch. With him, the Colts were almost always playoff bound. He comes out for a year for the surgery, the Colts turn into the worst team in the NFL hands down. Pre-surgery, you rarely heard anyone mention the next QB of the Colts franchise. Post-surgery its non stop talk of his demise. I’m willing to bet a whole lot that Manning has a good three to four more years left in him. Wherever he ends up playing this year, you can guarantee some happy fans… Because Peyton = Playoffs if not more.

I wish I had enough discipline to stop checking this website. I wish I could just tune out the NFL until FA and then again until the draft. I would be a happy and healthier person.

Ahahahaha! The story of my life! This pft is like crack I tell ya.

Couldn’t have said it better. If only Whitney Houston would have found PFT instead…

I guarantee in three years when the Colts are awesome again, everyone will love Irsay and be thankful to have Andrew Luck.

First off, vike129, not a chance. As a Viking fan, I am realistic enough to know that regardless of the QB, you can’t win with no defense AND no OL. The Vikings need a LOT of rebuilding and are not a good fit for Manning, with or without Wayne.

But, for other teams, IF Manning is healthy and can play well (big IF), then it would make sense to add Wayne, if you can make the money work. It would be great for Manning to have a WR he is familiar with, and Wayne has a little left (though is no longer a star). But, you would have to get the package deal fairly cheaply, hoping both are willing to take a little less money to be able to play together and try for another ring. But, it would have to be a team that already has a good defense, a solid OL, and at least one more decent WR, TE, or RB.

If they don’t sign Peyton then none of these guys want to be a part of a re-load project, if they do sign Peyton then they won’t be able to afford them anyways…

Manning likely will either be a Jet or Dolphin. Either way its scary. Marshall, Wayne and Manning or Holmes, Wayne, Keller and Manning. Add in Trent Richardson to either in the draft and both are amazing offenses.

If even somewhat healthy Manning instantly makes every player on his team much better. The OL becomes much better because of his quick release and pre-snap reads, the receivers get better the RBs get better and the defenses are much better as they can play with a lead.

Manning will make either of these teams a super bowl favorite. The patriots worst nightmare.

i mentioned this as a major plus-side months ago. any team that can sign payton is going to be almost a shoe-in to acquire reggie’s services.
