I truly wish Peyton well but, he is a accident waiting to happen. I guess the teams that wanted him feel sure he will stay healthy..I hope he does but, i have to tell you… ? #%?

Why is Andy Reid still a coach?

Reblogged this on jumbossportsblog and commented: Would have never happened. The Manning family doesn't want them in the same conference, let a lone division. They want them playing for the whole thing in February.

Reid also inquired as to what the Rams would take for the rights to RG3.

He obviously knows something about Vick that is forcing his hand.

Im glad they didnt get Manning . 96 Millon is to much for a 36 year old QB , especially with a QB whose had multiple & serious neck surgerys . I think Vicks a very good QB who had a bad year. They are gonna have to draft a QB within the next couple years to get our QB of the future.

@geo….

I understand your logic, but im not talking about PM punching his lil bro in the face, I’m talking about trying to outwit/outduel him. IMO that’s different. I’ve competed against my lil bro countless times in sports. I love him but not when we’re lined up across from each other. We play and win or lose we grab a drink afterwards.

What would it take for Andy to add a Tony Romo to his collection?

I don’t get why, after competing with your brother your entire childhood, NOW it’s an issue.

——————-
Peyton is 5 years older than Eli. So when Eli was in Pee Wee, Peyton was in high school. When Eli was in high school, Peyton was in college. When Eli was in college, Peyton was in the NFL. They have played against each other twice in the NFL. Now what is it you don;t get!

You are absolutely right 49erstim. PM’s recent decisions don’t paint him in a favorable light and definitely tarnish his competitiveness and intestinal fortitude. What a pus. Waaaa, he doesn’t want to play Eli. What a loser. This is the reason why PM has only won 1 SB (thanks to his D) and is barely 500 in the playoffs. He is a choker and will not win another SB. What an ass clown this guy is. Total DB.

Why are these coaches announcing to the world, and their team, and especially their current QB; “We are not happy with who our QB is, so we wanted a different QB”. I don’t care if his name is Peyton Manning, you don’t let your current QB know this info.

About the Eagles and money since most of you aren’t fans of the eagles or are haters they have samuel who will be traded before the season. My guess is watch him go with a second rounder during the draft to potentially get 2 first round picks. Second Vick can be cut after this season without a penny in penalities. Guys keep saying they regret signing vick to that contract but you don’t realize before he gets the big money they put a clause in the contract to get out of it after the 2012-2013 season. Third the eagles have never spent money ever. When they went to 5 NFC championship games they were 20 million under the cap. The only reason they are spending now is because the league set that new 98% of the cap must be spent rule.

Does the league have one cap amount and the Eagles another?

I don’t. I also understand why the Klitschko brothers don’t want to fight each other.

I don’t agree that most teams should have taken a shot at Manning.

There are plenty of teams that have serviceable quarterbacks that wouldn’t benefit greatly from Manning. The cap space that signing him could be used to add other key pieces. Clearly, even having one of the best QB’s of all time only got the Colts one SB ring from it.

However, if you have the cap space, and the rest of the team is built to be a contender, then by all means, go for it.

a pre-emptive strike from Reid? IF Manning is healthy and IF he can perform at >= 90% of what he was before the surgeries, i’m guessing a lot more teams will be trying to convince their fans that they tried to get him too…

He’d get killed in the NFC East. He had to go to somewhere that he plays against no good defenses.

The day this Vick experiment finally ends I will throw a mothering party on a motherfn boat. Surely Reid has to know a qb who can’t slide or Ben throw a ball away will never bring a team to a Super Bowl.

Can you imagine how dangerous the Eagles offense would have been with Manning as the QB?

As an Eagles fan, “Andy what the hell are you doing? You never say jack about anything, but you put this out there? How does this help anything?”

Am I the only one that finds his displeasure about playing Eli a little disconcerting? So either he doesn’t wanna embarrass Eli 2 times per year OR he doesn’t wanna get embarrassed by Eli twice per year. Either way thats a knock on his competitiveness. This whole ordeal has left me with a different view of PM. He did alleviate some of that when he was willing to throw for a few teams which I didn’t think he would.

if he didn’t consider it, he should be fired on the spot for being an idiot.

of course, most fellow eagle fans would agree that this should’ve been done already, so I guess it’s a moot point.

Peyton would never go there. Reasons.

1. No way he would share time with Ookie

2. He would have to play Eli twice and Daddy doesn’t want that.

3. He wouldn’t want to cause a conflict of interest with Tony Dungy.

4. Philly and their fans just suck.

By: erod22

erod22 — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:12:33 +0000

Understandable.

With the addition of RGIII, pass-happy Reid doesn’t want to have the worst QB in the NFC East.

You woulda had people screaming racism. If they would have shipped out Vick.

SN: Where is Philly getting all this money from? How could they have afforded him with all the money they giving Vick, Asomoah, Samuel, Cole, Desean Jackson, Cullen Jenkins, etc.
