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

. And it's not like the only thing he does is spew hatred and vitriol towards us.

Thanks,...I save that for the Eagles board.:soapbox:

There were a bunch of reason's all I said was the family did'nt want them in the same divison was one of them.

Look dude. No owner gives a flying **** what Archie Manning wants. He holds absolutely 0 weight when it comes to teams making decisions.

Manning is more of the same. I don't see how acquiring him will pay off in the long run. Sure it could work but this is a guy that may never take another snap ever again.

Archie Manning, Peyton's father: "Peyton kind of likes his roots in Indy." Also said his son's main priority is to get healthy & play again.

Even his own father said he didn't know if Peyton would play this upcoming year or not. That tells you that it's a lot more serious than what people realize.

Dude...lol,did you really say dude? Anyway I never said one word about any owner,and never said any one made any team decisions.When the Mannings decide to go somewhere it's a "family" decision,is what I said.

Chris Mortanson(sp) just went over that on ESPN's NFL 32,and what he says is Peyton still could'nt play now,....not ever again.

I didn't say either or. Said his father didn't even know if he was going to be able to play this year or not.

All of this Manning to Redskins talk was contingent upon him being healthy enough to play again. Since that would appear to no longer be the case, it's time to explore other options. But if Manning was healthy enough to play again, and if he was fine with coming to DC, I'm pretty sure if his dad told him no it would not factor into Peyton's decision. But that argument appears moot after 12th's informative post.

I imagine there are about 38k options being explored for the next few months

This will be talked about throughout 2013. I bet you.

Not surprising. I would hope that BA and Shanny have every possible contingency scenario prepared out by the time the draft comes. Now obviously you can't prepare for every possible scenario, but I know we will definitely go in with multiple options. We can't put all our eggs in one basket, as they say. I just hope that by the time May comes around we have a definitive qb of the future in hand.

@Diehard: I'd imagine if Peyton's neck is beyond reparable, we'll be talking about his retirement sometime this offseason (probably training camp or so I'd imagine) and that's where the focus will shift.
