Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

Albert Breer says his arm has gotten "progressively better" the past six weeks. Should be no worries about him being ready to go.

Here's a new scenario..

Manning and Wayne/Garcon?

Or RG3 and Vjax?

^ RG3 and VJax if those are the options.

If PM signs here Wayne and Garçon are almost locks to also come over, Skins become instant contenders in the East.

Who is this "key" Redskin executive that has a connection to Manning?

Robert Griffin III and Vincent Jackson ftw!

I agree

Wonder if the Rams would want to nail down a trade before the value goes down when one of the teams goes out of the race? Would be nice to finalize this, and would love RG3 instead of Peyton due to long-term potential.

If Peyton / Wayne / Garcon come, we'd have the running game and defense to compete to win it all. We could draft a QB in the next 2-3 years as a project to hold the clipboard, Tannehill comes to mind. Still need to firm up the RT position.

Btw, wouldn't Peyton want to go to a team that doesn't compete with his brother?

I'm shocked at the responses about Shanny and Peyton have a problem with the offense. Signing Peyton Manning is as much for his genius offensive mind as it is for his ability. He would teach Kyle a thing or two and Mike is smart enough to let him do it. If the move is made for Manning, I am not worried at all that Mike, Kyle and Peyton wont have a monster offense put together. Add a big WR in FA along with a good, emerging running game and two strong TEs and the offense is automatically one of the best in the east.

Now, I love RGIII and think that for a long term solution, I would rather have him. He could be amazing for years to come -- legitimizing the Skins for more than just 2-3 years.


Having to talk about who you would rather have, Peyton Manning or RGIII, is pretty much the best problem we have ever had in an off-season. I will cry if we don't end up with one of them.

I'm sure it's been said, but let's not compare bringing Manning in, who is no doubt fired up like never before, to when we brought McNabb in. The only way I see Manning going the way of McNabb is due to injury. Peyton commands too much respect and is too much of an attention to detail guy to let anything get out of hand.
