I think its pretty funny people not realizing this is a very serious injury he is coming off of and one more hit he could be done.

Actually, Manning doesn't need the money and all he wants to do is win championships being the highest paid QB in the league...

If the colts trade him they will take a big cap hit they owe a crap load of a bonus. Manning holds the cards in this battle. I also said if healthy and we would have to explore every option if we can't get one of the two stud QBs in draft. I like this option over paying Flynn a crap load for a unproven guy or trading for a Hoyer.

Manning to the Jets with Tom Moore already there still makes the most sense.

I agree with exploring every option and I wouldnt overpay Flynn either, but if Manning showed at Redskins Park to sign a contract, someone there should do the responsible thing and call an ambulance to have Peyton admitted to the nearest Psych ward for an thorough valuation.

I'm sure a lot of these rumors are smoke screens, I just think we are in tough spot in the draft to get Griffin, so we almost will have to sign FA who can start in case we can't move up or if he doesn't fall. Big problem not many FA QBs that most Skins would be happy with. Worst case scenario I see happening is we don't get a QB in FA who is capable and we can't move up and are forced to reach on QB who isn't ready to play.

Manning is a quick release QB.

Our offensive line is not that bad. Plus, the offseason is not over. We've got some holes but:
TW-good LT
Ligtensteiger- Average to above average before injury
Chester- Average
RT needs help which can be addressed in FA/Draft

Just saying, but if we had PM, we could focus drafting on other areas playmakers, offensive line.

Pretty tough Defenses in the ol NFC East , I dont think Manning would make very far. But having him around sure b

I dunno, Eli is getting alot of attention this year. Maybe Peyton wants to play and beat him a couple times a year, let Eli know who is still the best Manning QB.

Whats so confusing about this Weinstein thing to me is that it sounds like Manning & Saturday to the Redskins would be via trade, but everyone seems to be saying it wouldnt be......

Also i heard that his neck injury is much less serious than people think. Apparently he had a one-level cervical neck fusion surgery, which is not that big of a deal. I cant remember who it was but i was listening to on Czeban the other day and guy came on and said that NFL teams do not even note "one" level cervical fusions surgeries anymore when scouting for the NFL draft or signing FA’s.

He said something like once its fixed its fixed and the odds of damaging it is the same as the odds of damaging a different cervical (rare). Its not supposed to be a thing that can become a reoccurring issue or jeopardize a players health. If you have more than 1 cervical fused then it becomes a big deal, but needing additional fusions are unlikely to be related. The guy did say that biggest issue with Manning is that he has missed almost an entire year of throwing and that Manning's may not ever be able to get his arm strength back because of that.

My 2 cents is trading for Manning would be very bad for this team. The only positive would be that Kyle wouldn’t really be our OC anymore. Manny don’t need no OC.

If we want to sign him as a FA then thats fine, but why in the world would Manning do that to himself?

Seriously. So tired of the cracks at the O line. It isn't that bad and good QBs that keep Defenses honest and punish the blitz can negate the pass rush. We had rookie RBs going over 100 yards on the regular at the end of the year. Get off the O-line already. They'll add more depth in the off season anyway.

Hasn't he already had 2 or 3 neck surgeries already?

Call me crazy but I could get on board with the Manning idea. The way he prepares for the game, the way he sees the field, I honestly wouldn't have a problem giving him 3 years at the helm. I saw somebody say this in one of these qb threads we have here on the boards, but if we signed Manning (no trade), drafted Blackmon with our first, and took a guy like Tannehill or Foles with our second I'd be happy with that. I think Manning could give us adequate qb play or even more for about 3 seasons while the rookie learns. And in that scenario we don't trade picks to move up or anything like that. Sure we'd have to pay Manning but we all know we're willing to if it comes to that. The only potential problem is that Blackmon might not make it to #6, but moving up a couple spots to get him would probably be a lot easier than moving up to get RG3 or Luck. The coaches need to explore all options and I'd be satisfied if they chose this one.

The Manning idea is starting to grow on me but I see McNabb2 each time I think about Manning coming to the Skins.

As for Blackmon I'm all for that if we can pick up a decent QB in FA. You mention being able to move up to get him since he might not be available at #6..... personally if we could move up for Blackmon then we should be able to move up for RGIII. The way I see if I figure either the Rams or Vikes will take Blackmon at #2 or #3, but if we were to be able to move up to get him then RGIII should still be on the table as well. No matter what it will cost the same to move up to get either and to be honest I think if we were able to move up no matter who we had as a FA QB I'd still say take RGIII until he can take over for whoever the FA is. There is a bigger class of decent WR's entering the draft vs. QB's.
