Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

The Titans owner? That's very interesting and ties into another fairly substantial rumor I'd heard

Is it involving Hasselbeck? Or Locker?

Maybe we could get Hasselbeck to back up Griffin.

Nice idea. A quality veteran backing up a young quarterback is what we want. But because of Grossman's familiarity with K. Shanahan's offense, I think he will be re-signed. But I would think Matt Hasselback is still under contract with the Titans. But with the Titans having Jake Locker, they would have him playing every down at QB since he was their 1st round pick a year ago. But if the Titans traded Hassleback to Washington, what would the Redskins be willing to give up? Maybe a veteran/role player?

I was thinking of it this way:
1) Titans sign Manning
2) Titans keep Locker

ergo
3) Titans cut Hasselbeck and we can sign him without a trade

So what would that do to Tebow? I would imagine he wouldn't be thrilled with going back to 2nd string or being a wildcat/option specialist.

If God's plan is for him to be a backup, I doubt you'll hear anything out of him.

Please I know the Tim Tebow playbook like the back of my hand. He'll go with the "You never want to be a backup blah blah blah" and here's the key, he'll go into some shtick about how he's competitive. Then he'll give some plug to the SEC to lock up his college analyst job at the ESPeN.

No he doesn't

El oh el that's simply hilarious :)

I imagine his comment would be something along the lines of,"You always want to be the starter, but if this is the path chosen for me by my lord and savior Jesus Christ, I will accept it."

God's plan only comes into effect after a big loss where he gets to play, not when he looses the starting job.
