Rico Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Both of those 'articles' were probably written by like minded 'haters' like yourself. Sorry, not buying it. And for the cheap 'great regular season qb' comment. He has a ring. Marino, no. And he will hold almost every QB record when he is done. If yo udo not like the guy for being a winner, then that means you are probably not one. http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-hate-Peyton-Manning/199498075978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Sad to see him going this way I figured for sure they could work out a deal. I wish him best of luck and hope he doesnt get injured and is recovered fully to enjoy the life ahead of him.

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I voted Bills as a dream but doubt he would go here. I can seem him going to Arizona or Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray808 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 wherever he goes, I wish him the best... he has been the definition of a true professional leader for his teams and the communities he represented. what team you ask? let's think... Jets - big city, pieces in place - doubtful he has an ego driven mentality to go against Eli though Dolphins - need a qb bad, but I just don't see it Redskins - Shannahan giving up power to Peyton doesn't seem like it would happen Cleveland - I bet they want him, but Peyton wouldn't go to a sure non-winning team, RG3? Chiefs - good pieces here too, but I just don't see it Arizona - Kolb? Forget that project. Manning with those weapons, in that weak division would be ideal 49ers - I would not put anything past the competitive nature of Harbaugh. This would be insane his best chance at winning a superbowl right away would be San Francisco... and honestly I think they are crazy enough to do it. but if I were to place a bet on it, I would say Redskins offer the farm for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnbillsbacker Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If the bills want him, they could have him. All they would need to do is put a waiver claim in. No one (including the bills) would pick up his 28 million dollar bonus, so he will clear waivers and be free to sign where he chooses. I think it is too much of a risk to give out 28 million for a player who is a medical risk, but if he is the Manning of old almost every team will regret not putting in a claim.

Dragonborn10 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Has there ever been an athlete this big that was outright released by his team? Not counting over the hill guys or malcontents or anything like that. Joe Montana - He had won more SuperBowls and he proved he could still play when he went to KC. Young was the heir apparent just as Luck is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Miami. The have a decent D, Brandon Marshall to throw to, and the best LT in the game in Long. I like Peyton Manning always felt he was a great QB. Seems like a classy guy, and really funny too. For the Colts though this is business and Manning knows it. Had a guy like Luck or to a lesser extent RG III not been there (Basically not having the choice of a great top heavy QB class) they would have kept Manning on a redone deal and tried to build a team for the last few years of his career like Denver did with Elway. But with a cap and with a top caliber young QB coming in its hard to hold on to a guy for a 3-4 year run. Another team will pick up Manning and try to build a championship run around him similar to the way KC tried to get one out of Montana. Basically Manning is giving you a top 10 maybe top 5 QB for 2-4 seasons. A lot of teams will sign up for that even a brief run with a legit QB can sneak you a title and keep you very competitive.

BuffaloBaumer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I think it would be pretty sweet to have Manning go to Miami or the Jets just for the sake of the games vs NE. Maybe Buffalo will get their guy in 2013.....It will be interesting to see if Fitz bounces back as I think it is do or die for him this year.

prissythecat Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Who knew? He is the perfect example of the importance of QBs in his league.

dpberr Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd hate to be a GM that's getting major pressure from ownership to sign this guy. The medical risk just is not worth it. It took Mike Vick two years to get in real game shape with a year being away from the game and that was just rust from rotting in prison. Manning is coming back from an injury that prevented him from throwing a football for over a year in one of the most sensitive parts of the body. Any team buying Peyton Manning is really buying his services for 2013, not 2012. Unfortunately, with the amount of money you'll be spending, you, along with your ownership and fanbase will be expecting results in 2012, but it's not going to happen. You certainly aren't going to get the well oiled, practice all year round Manning Machine of the mid 2000s with his consistent cast of characters. In some ways, Manning could be considered a "system" quarterbacks of sorts. Dome quarterback, with a team offense that did not experience a lot of overhaul from one year to the next. He had the same center and linemen in guys like Jeff Saturday and Rien Diem, wide receivers in Harrison and Wayne, tight end in Dallas Clark and only two running backs with James and Addai for years. Consistency alone is a considerable advantage for a team offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He was traded to Kansas City. My bad. Was Farve cut or traded to the Jets? Johnny Unitas was cut by the Colts. Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith were both released. At the time they were (and still are) in the discussion for greatest of all time at their positions. Rice obvioulsy had a little left in the tank, Emmitt not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be insane his best chance at winning a superbowl right away would be San Francisco... and honestly I think they are crazy enough to do it. but if I were to place a bet on it, I would say Redskins offer the farm for him That would certainly be in the realm of possibilities. As good as Alex Smith played last season, getting PManning will make that team an instant contender. I would also guess that they would go WR with their first pick and give him weapons.

Bills!Win! Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What happened to the good ole days when young rookie quarterbacks would sit behind a legend QB for a few years and then take the reigns? Seems like teams these days want to throw these rookies in the game right away. I hope luck or RG3, (whoever they take) has a few rough years at the beginning of their career before they breakout into stardom. Maybe it's just because I'm jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 4 time MVP, all those commercials....i have always thought of Peyton as a class act. i was taken aback a little during this years Super Bowl week, when it appeared to me he stole some of the shine away from his own brother Eli, by granting so many interviews to discuss his own pending situation, even though the weeks before and after, you hardly heard anything directly from Peyton. at the time i was thinking how selfish.....but as crazy as it sounds, it's quite possible the Mannings (archie, peyton & Eli) orchestrated that as an attempt to take some pressure off of Eli.

John Adams Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Im not disputing that he is a phenomenal QB. However I've always sensed he was fake and not a genuine guy. I believe that stuff that came out about the female trainer at Tenessee. Eli seems much different....... Yeah, he was such a great guy on draft day. Eli is a POS.
