The Big Rumor: If The Colts Take Luck, Then Manning Could Be...

I'm not talking about Clausen as the main guy. That's not being considered

Huh? Clausen as a backup?

Just heard this morning that Peyton Manning has stated he will ask for a trade if the Colts draft Andrew Luck. So i guess it is official. Let the Manning watch begin. Assuming he ends up being able to physically play again, where is his most likely destination?

I personally feel that Washington, Miami, New York, and San Fran are very likely destinations. Even as Redskins fans, we have to at least consider that Snyder has thought about what it would take to get Manning.

There are a lot of positives for him here if he can play one or two more years. The skins could become instant superbowl contenders while still letting a young QB learn from the games best.

Manning might be beginning his coaching career at this rate. He only recently was declared healthy enough for another surgery back in early December. Not workouts but another surgery. And words like neck fusion don't exactly inspire confidence. Personally Manning should quit while he's ahead. He has the mind to continue his football life as a coach.

Huh? Clausen as a backup?

That's what he is. He couldn't hold off Matt Moore when he was starting in Carolina, and didn't see the field this season. He's a backup at this point for sure. He's young with upside, so I wouldn't mind him on the roster. I think if we draft a QB, keep Rex, and add a 3rd guy like Clausen, it's ideal.

Its not hard for me to believe that Clausen could perform well in this offense and challenge for the starting job if invited to camp.
Look, if we don't draft a QB we're talking about beating out Rex Grossman. The same Rex Grossman that barely beat out a 3rd string QB with no mini-camp or OTAs last year.
Clausen is easily more physically talented then Rex Grossman.
I'm not fickle enough to believe the book of Clausen's career is written after 14 starts and I didn't even like him very much as a prospect coming out.

Heck, we should have gone after him last year.

Sanchez is being clowned right now. No respect. Makes me think of Jason Campbell...

I say Sanchez is either a

Seahawk
Brown
or Redskin

if he's traded

Grossman flat out sucks, Sanchez at least took his team to the playoffs his first 2 years. Yes, hee had a shitty year this year, he has improved every year and Holmes and Burress didn't help his cause nor did Shottenheimer who is going to get fired in NY for a reason.

Actually, Sanchez' numbers this year in terms of QB rating and turnovers and number of wins all regressed from last year. He did not improve this year.

Whatever...

Are you saying that if the Redskins get Peyton Manning and keep the core of this roster as it is, they would become superbowl contenders in 2012?

If so, may I suggest that whatever you are ingesting into your bloodstream at the moment has to be illegal...

LMAO Jimmy Clausen?? If the skins go into camp with Clausen and Rex fighting for the job I won't watch 2012

How was Rex vs. Beck any better?
