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

Everyone keeps saying how horrible our line is... It's actually pretty good

#Hail to the Redskins

I really do not want someone else's quarterback. Let's get our own and build with that. Do what it takes to draft a young quarterback. I will not be excited about another teams reject like Sanchez or Bradford or a damaged Manning or a backup like Flynn

I don't think our oline is as horrible as fans make it out to be. We know from Helu and Royster's production that these can run block. A competent quarterback has a way of making his line better too.

I just don't like the idea of Peyton Manning coming here. I don't hate it, just on the fence about it. Even with his accomplished past, it just smacks of the organization doing the things the same way they did when Vinny was overseeing player personnel. I know it's different, but it just "feels" the same.

I honestly didn't/still don't think it's a given that he even comes back next season. We'd better have a plan B if we take the Manning plunge, that's for sure.

Healthy I'd take Manning over any rookie qb in the draft, he'd make us legitimate contenders for 2-3 years

It is hard to predict what will happen with Manning. He could very well be released by Indy because of his contract and his health. While I am sure Indy would like to get something for him, with these two roadblocks (contract/health) it would be hard for them to do that. Right now the Colts are in a great position to part ways with Manning without much backlash from the fan base.

Health aside, I don't think we are in such a terrible position to have a guy like Manning. However, here are my concerns: 1. Money - unless BA would work it out that Manning has to prove himself health-wise, I think Manning would be expensive for a short time. 2. Co-existance - can Manning, who is a coach on the field, co-exist with Kyle Shanahan (which I personally think KS should let Manning do his thing).

Manning as a Redskins is not such a terrible idea (aside from health/money). He makes offensive lines better, something that we have not had in our team for a long time. He will make average receivers better, once again, we've never had a QB in our team be able to do that. Finally, we have a running game AND a good defense...Manning never had a running game and a good defense. I don' think Indy had those two things at the same time.

Now the 600 lb. gorilla is his health. Even with the best protection in the world, he is going to get hit. And a lot of teams will be asking themselves if they want to gamble on his health and spend the money to get him.

Ok. Here is where I stand on this subject. Don't want to trade a bunch of picks for Manning, would love to get this guy in FA. It would be one of the biggest moves in Redskins history. If we can get this guy you have to. Draft a QB in round 2 or so. Draft a stud offensive weapon in round 1, a WR which we have plenty to chose from or trade back and get a couple of more picks and an impact player.

Manning in DC would be a huge move for the Skins, the fans, and the NFC East. From what I have read on his health it seems as though the healing is done and the procedure was a success. IDK but this could be as huge move for this team. I would be stoked to see the big fella back there at QB.

The thing with him is all of the preparation that he puts into his game. I for one would love to have a young QB watching how much work it takes to be a great QB and the work ethic of PM. How much practice and film study it takes.

We are not talking about a Jeff George here or a Brad Johnson, we are talking about one of the greatest QBs of all time. With one of the most prolific work ethics a QB could have. This guy could change alot of things in Washington and not just our W/L record.

I know. Just lazy. The O-line is fine and they'll tweak it in the off-season. Bad QB = bad protection.

Peyton will never play in the same divison as his brother,move on.

So how do you know ginatone? Are you friends with him and his dad? I think a case could be made for Peyton playing in the same division as his brother.

I do not believe money will be the only defining criteria for teams PM is willing to go with. After all, did he not give back a few mm of his salary to ease the cap issues for the Colts. He does not strike me as a man that spends his money on jewelry lawsuits and making it rain in the local strip emporiums.
It would surprise me if were not more selective for a team closer to making a SB run (than the Skins) and collect another ring in the process
