Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

[mredskins]

Manning and RGIII as the backup is the best case. You got Manning for 3 to 4 years then resign RGIII and release Manning. You are set at QB for 10 to 12 years then start building everything else around that.

Good watch.

Schefter said PM favors the AFC. Arrrrrrrgh!

OK, then I'll predict that it will be Miami.

It may soon be time for the Skins to pick up the red phone and call St. Louis to make the deal for the #2 pick.

Crap now I want him, at least until he signs with us where I'll get a case of buyers remorse.

You and everyone else...although Denver has come out of nowhere from what I see on Twitter.

Isn't that always the case with us?

The only person more marketable then Tebow. Lol

I highly doubt a deal for the #2 pick will be done before 24 hours from the draft.

I agree, at least officially. There could easily be a "handshake deal" in place that will be contingent on the Rams not getting a better offer or the other team getting cold feet. I like to think of it as getting engaged but keeping it secret from everyone else.

Yeah, I kinda do too and I think that sucks. I want to say in the past when they played each other, one of them stated they didnt enjoy it. dunno, I think it would be kick ass for the league to see that match up twice a year.

In regards to Manning wanting a home within the next week I think part of it is he wants to learn the offense as soon as possible the other part is getting in position to encourage the front office to go after his guys when free agency opens.

With this you basically pay RGIII to ride the pine, then RGIII is up for a new contract and he hasn't even proven he's worth it yet. That's a lot of $$ to tie up at QB too.

I think it's a case of picking one or the other. Not both.

Hearing the Broncos might actually be a dark horse for Flynn. Unfortunately for Flynn, both the Dolphins and Browns (particularly the Dolphins) have been lukewarm about their interest in Flynn. Seattle still very interested

I think I probably give it a 60-40 edge Manning over RG3 as our next QB. We shall see

If the Browns are not interested in Flynn and get desperate for RG3, we are screwed in the RG3 sweepstakes. Unless the Browns continue to insist in keeping their first two rounders.

Same thing will happen if you get Tannehill.
