papazoid Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Please, please let the Dolphins **** this up. don't worry....this is team Manning...the master manipulators.... they are only using miami to help set the market.....he is going to a true contender......peytons window if not closed (i think he retires) is very short. i say Houston #1, then the Jets.

Jerry Jabber Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/09000d5d82774c22/Manning-arrives-in-Miami?module=HP11_content_stream I hope Manning signs with the Dolphins. With having to play against Brady & Manning twice a year, the Bills will have no choice but to make serious upgrades to their pass rush. The Bills will need to be one of the best rass rushing teams in football in order to compete in the AFC East. If Manning does sign with the Phins, I hope it happens before the start of free agency (March 13th), maybe then the Bills will seriously consider signing Mario Williams.

truth on hold Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Saints! Why not take a 36 yr old manning to 33 year old brees for less than half the price? Dome team with great WR corp, louisiana his home state, contendet, Brees is holding out for money that would make it impossible to fill out a strong roster ... This makes sense.

Captain Hindsight Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I really hope you're right. But the talent level was open, twice, vs. the Giants and he underthrew him both times. And with just over a minute left, he made a terrible read and should have went to the slant. youtube.com/watch?v=SbO4BbBASn4 (1:39 in) That guy had an annoying voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you entirely removed passion from the equation, sure, why not? But Brees means a lot more to New Orleans than simply what he brings to the field. He is symbolic of their turnaround, he chose New Orleans when the city was at a relative low, and he brought them a title. It's not easy to just ditch the face of a franchise like that, even when a Hall of Famer with hometown connections is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If the Bills are going to spend big money on one FA, I would much rather have it be Mario Williams rather than Peyton Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'd rather spend the money on Mario Williams or Vincent Jackson. Hell maybe both for that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 1) Manning won't come here. 2) No one knows if he can still play like Peyton Manning. 3) We have more important positions to fill. 4) He's old and coming off a serious injury. 5) Didn't we learn anything from the Drew Bledsoe fiasco?

RuntheDamnBall Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 1) 36 is old in football years 2) coming off a a major, major injury 3) Buffalo cannot be first on his list = we'd have to sweeten the pot severely. Since Payton probably has no real need for more money, we're talking ownership stake. 4) Upsetting team chemistry 5) Though Fitz can be cut with relatively little expenditure, it's still dead money tied up in QBs when your new first-stringer carries many risks.

turftoe Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Manning to Miami makes the most sense. Offensive minded coach and he stays in the AFC. The AFC east is about to get a little stronger. The only other team I see as a possibility is Houston. Edited March 8, 2012 by turftoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If I were Manning, I'd be looking long and hard at San Francisco. New league, new challenges, relatively easy division, great defense, a team on the upswing. If they are willing to give Alex Smith the boot that would be a chance worth taking for Peyton. Miami is an organization fraught with issues; I'm not saying they outweigh the advantages for a guy like Manning, who could step in and kind of have his way with the team, but I imagine the hubris involved there might sink both parties. Same with the Jets (and I can't see Manning working with Sparano). If I were to rank best places for him to go that seem possible (regardless of incumbent): 1) SF 2) Houston 3) Jets 4) Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground and pound with the possibly greatest passer in the history of the NFL? I just don't see it. Plus Rex Ryan and Manning, I just cant see them getting along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other team I see as a possibility is Houston. Please explain? Cowherd is saying the same thing...but I just don't see it. I understand that he might want to stay in the same division, but I am not so sure the Texans would be willing to spend what it would take, and, unless Schuab is done (I haven't heard that, have you?) they have a fairly decent QB in place already. If the Texans aren't willing to pony up to re-sing Mario Williams, I just don't see how it makes a ton of sense for them to pursue Manning, at this point.
