SuperBash Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If he ends up with the Skins somehow, he'll get hurt or won't perform anywhere close to the Peyton of before and we'll all be depressed about it, because its Washington D.C.

SkinsGuy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 there's a slight chance Indy keeps Peyton and still draft Luck but the smart thing to do is keep Peyton and trade their #1 pick for lots of starters and draft picks(and still draft Tanneyhill this year) If the Colts keep Manning, they won't get Luck. Because if Manning is healthy and can play several more years, there is NO WAY Luck is going to want to sit on the bench all that time when he is being told, and he believes, he can play NOW. He will pull an Eli or an Elway (or at least threaten to, IMO). Besides, you don't draft a QB with the top overall pick and sit him on the bench for 3-4 years. You expect him to play now. The only way they get Luck is to get rid of Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Trade Down, Manning and Wayne, WR in the 1st, QB and RT in 2nd, CB and LB in 3rd.How's that for egg potential. Not bad, but Manning and Wayne can still play for at least one more year. If they can do something like we did (focus on defense this draft) they'll be better off. They can get plenty of cogs for that new defense (Upshaw, Burfict, etc). Then next year they get the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...I said slight chance as in 5%, as you have to imagine Irsay doesn't want to let go the 1 person who built your franchise. $28 million is peanuts if Peyton can take them to the playoffs the next couple of years with the plethora of defensive starters/picks they can obtain for #1 he's been throwing to his WR's since Tues, so if they think his arm strength will improve, I say they trade down with a blockbuster deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocountyskins Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I really hope another thread hasent been made about this while i am typing this up, mods i apologize if this should be in another thread but anyway According to ESPN Peyton Manning has been medically cleared by two doctors. He will resume his career. He will be release by the colts i dont think there is any question about that. Should the Redskins sign him? I dont think they should sign someone who will only play maybe 2-3 seasons but look what shanny did with Elway and Manning is much better then Elway Discuss http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7534274/sources-peyton-manning-medically-cleared-resume-nfl-career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jook98 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Manning is much better than Elway? Easy there bro. Anyways, if healthy, yes i would take him. However, that doesn't mean I don't want a QB drafted in the early rounds which better happen regardless of whatever happens with Peyton Manning.

Dan T. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 From what I've been reading being cleared to play does not mean the same as being effective like he once was. The nerve damage has caused weakness in his throwing arm. It could be perfectly safe for him to play, but it may not be the same ole Manning. Guess next comes the throwing tests. I still think its a long shot Indy pays him that bonus. Everybody seems to be missing this point, which is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocountyskins Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Manning is on the same level of Elway at bare minimum imo anyway im just saying that Elway didnt win until he got shanny. you could say that Shanny didnt win till he got Elways but as a Redskins fan i have to look at it from the other perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Everybody seems to be missing this point, which is spot on. It may be an accurate point, but arm strength is only a minimal concern. Manning can rebuild his throwing strength in a matter of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsoe Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Manning is much better than Elway? Easy there bro. It is a completely valid statement bro. Colts will lose a lot of fan revenue if Peyton leaves. Jerseys sell and he puts fans in seats. Right now Luck still has a lot to prove before ever being in the same sentence as Peyton Manning. 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not if the nerve damage is permanent. Exactly, its not muscle weakness we are talking about here. It's ineffective communication from the brain to the muscle. It could regrow fine and he get the strength back, but it might be the best its going to get right now.

Skins199021 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I mean if he is released there is no reason not to go balls out for him in FA and draft a guy like Foles/Tannehill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Fried Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If he's medically cleared, it's hard to not want to sign him. If we got Manning and then drafted Tannehill, I'd be stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that this is a possibility but just out of curiosity, do you have a reason to believe this to be the case? Is this just assuming the worst or is this the likely outcome?

TeddyKGB Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I will say that of all coaches, Mike Shanahan is the right type of coach to take on a Peyton Manning type. I'd just be curious how the Peyton/Kyle S. relationship would be. Peyton, for whom most of his career has been under an old man offensive coordinator like Tom Moore(sp) in Indy, to then a young but brilliant x's and o's guy like Kyle who is pretty much Peyton's age or younger.

However, that doesn't mean I don't want a QB drafted in the early rounds which better happen regardless of whatever happens with Peyton Manning. I watched Elway plenty, I would rather have Peyton over Elway. As good as Elway was he did not have the smarts of Peyton IMO. Peyton made the Colts and Elway got the help around him to succeed, something Shanahan could repeat in Washington. I say yes sign Peyton, move up and draft RG3 if you can. Let Peyton play and see what happens, we gots the benjamins to do this. RG3 can get ready and Peyton gets a year or two with a high salary to see what he can still do.

AsiaticSkinsFan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not if the nerve damage is permanent. this is why people need to chill out with the Redskins signing him I hope he is back to somewhere close to his prior form, but nerve damage is something I would not want to play with.

MariusVT Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love Manning, he is a heck of a QB but I don't want him in DC. I want a young QB who will be our franchise guy, not a 2-3 year guy like Peyton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
