Mr. WEO Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You know what would be great if Andrew Luck turns out to be a bust & Peyton Manning goes somewhere & win a couple of Superbowl, Jim Irsay would be strung up in the street by Colt fans If he couldn't win a couple of SBs in Indy, he won't do it on whatever sad sack team picks him up. And if developmentally delayed HC Jim Caldwell had put Dan Orlovsky in at QB instead of Painter much earlier, Manning would be Colt this season. Keeping Painter as starting QB was an act of genius by Polian that he hasn't yet gotten credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i think he's DONE and will RETIRE before he plays another real game..... but if he does play.....i think Houston makes the most sense for Peyton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah, he was such a great guy on draft day. Eli is a POS. And a two time SB champion. I'd take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i think he's DONE and will RETIRE before he plays another real game..... but if he does play.....i think Houston makes the most sense for Peyton. I would say I agree that he is probably done. I think Arizona makes the most sense for him though. Dome, easy divison, good weather, and a great wr (dare we call him a #1 lol).

Fan in Chicago Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i think he's DONE and will RETIRE before he plays another real game..... but if he does play.....i think Houston makes the most sense for Peyton. I seriously doubt he will retire at this point. He is a competitor and I am sure realizes that he has just one ring to show for all his brilliance. Why not go to an almost-contender, put them over the top and retire with another ring ? If he is cleared medically, he should be able to play for another 2 years.

mattsox Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 breaking news... Peyton Manning's 14-year career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts is coming to an end. Sources close to the team told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the announcement will come at a news conference in Indianapolis on Wednesday with both Manning and owner Jim Irsay in attendance. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7653897/sources-indianapolis-colts-part-peyton-manning-wednesday Awesome. Now Just retire Peyton. Go out on Top, don't be Drew Bledsoe, Brett Favre. Stay classy, retire, Maybe become and Offensive Coordinator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with it isn't that I think it's NOT laughable that he'd come here. Such an idea is a pipedream. But if you're going to talk seriously about Cleveland and Jacksonville; how can you post "LOL" about the Bills? Like the Browns and Jags are an upgrade!

Just in Atlanta Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What an insulting article. Has the writer ever been to Jacksonville? It's a scrub town with no identity and the worst fans in the league. I'd pick the good people and rabid fans of Buffalo any day of the week over the Jacksonville fanbase.

No, dwight, forgive me for disagreeing, but that is how we rationalize it. Not that what you wrote isn't true, it just means we can still be pissed.

apuszczalowski Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You can't be serious? We hate everyone on this board.. even our own players. nah, we save our hate on this board for 90% of the Bills current players (mostly guys that were drafted instead fo the guy everyone wanted, or guys from previous regimes still here), former players that were hated while here for the reasons given, and anyone affiliated with the Jets or Pats.

Hater Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is what I wrote morning on the Colts Part ways Peyton Manning Thread Did anyone read Michael Silver article on Manning 12 Top Teams He had the Bills at 12 & wrote LOL & thats it what a Jerk, I don't want Manning buy Why not us We Good WR's, TE's & RB's plus we got a Head Coach that throws the ball nearly every down & we get Vincent Jackson & Mario Williams that could make us look alot better than few teams I got so pissed, I tweet the SOB about that article & call him out, if he had any balls he'd reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So do I but we have a very good backup starting at QB. He's only thought of in that way because he does not have the talent around him to make him look better, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjmac Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He had some pretty decent talent in Cincy. Where he was a young QB with no statting experience, playing with guys used to catching passes from Carson Palmer. At any rate, even Trent Dilfer has a ring.

CosmicBills Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yes. Needless to say, I think we are all about ready for that sort of national garbage to stop. However, the pisser is that it is not like we have been the worst team in the league year in and year out. We're the only team not to make the playoffs in the past 12 years. We also have a record of 76-116 over that span (that's a 39% winning percentage). Under Nix and company that winning percentage has dipped to 31% and, even the most optimistic fans out there think this team is STILL a year or two away from truly contending. So ... you might want to rethink that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
