With that said does anyone think that for the 2yrs he would be here the shanny's would alter everything? Also, the Texans ran a similar version of shanny's west coast but they went over the top because of Andre Johnson, there is no Andre Johnson in Washington.

Therefore, by your own logic, the Shanny offense CAN be adapted to go "over the top."

Andre Johnson causes adaptation in Houston, Peyton Manning causes adaptation in Washington.

The shannys want to win their way so they can say they did it their way. Manning would do something that the shannys think is heiresy, he would audible and check with me, and the shannys would explode on national TV, it would be a spectacle.

I have to know the backstory

We also talking about Peyton Manning here.
Peyton Manning.
If Mike and Kyle either can't or aren't willing to accomodate Peyton Manning into their offense then they gotta go.

IMO he might end up in san fran, why haven't they resigned Alex Smith yet.

Bc Smith isn't any good and they know they have kaep waiting

[skinsfaninok]

All I know is Mike has to get our QB now because another 6 win season and he's gone

I don't get why people think that Shanny is so entrenched in his system that wouldn't allow Manning some say. Do people honestly think he walked into Denver and said to Elway "Hey I know you've been here for years but this is the way it is now. HOF career be dammed." It is no secret that they butted heads but got sh!t done. It would be the same thing here.

Yes, as hard as it is to imagine, there appears to be quite a number of their posts........here. I have been slogging through them Ad Nauseum.....
I'll be in the drunk thread.

Because that would be stupid.

Break it down for me why it would be so.

[GTripp0012]

Manning isn't going somewhere that isn't committed to Peyton Manning. Trading up for RG3 would be, by definition, not committing to Peyton Manning.

I'm not even sure Manning would give the a-OK to draft Kirk Cousins in the second round.

The guy who would back up Manning, in all likelihood, would be Rex Grossman.
