LOL I love how everyone says PM doesn't want to play against ELI.. I mean what is this? This is the NFL not playing in your backyard where u always pick your bro on your team.. Money talks and if ARZ, WSH etc. offers PM a wealthy deal he'll take it.

This is a different situation. This injury is to a nerve/nerves that go into his tricep, which is the major muscle to his throwing arm. Plus we have way too many holes here. Yeah we'll go the FA route but as we know that just doesn't work. See Philly and past Redskins teams. Manning will make us better, but we're still not a SB team w/ him under center.

Montana had a lumbar back fusion not neck.


Why can't skins fans want to cultivate their own superstar? It seems that they always want someone elses reject. Manning is a reject at this point.

I just heard an interesting unconfirmed rumor -- if he does play, Miami within 10 days.

I read somewhere that the 49ers have said they are not interested in PM.

No way will Daniel Snyder allow Peyton to get away. The man gets what he wants, period.

There has to be a better way to advocate the Redskins draft a franchise QB that doesn't involve trashing one of the greatest players in NFL history...

4) Redskins
5) Seahawks
6) Dolphins
7) Cardinals

For Manning this has to be about winning another Championship, this is not about money or location. Manning has enough money. Manning is such a huge competitor, his brother has two rings. Peyton wants another.
Redskins have a ton of cap space and some good pieces in place. Skins have a chance. Small chance, but still a chance.

I agree wholeheartedly...although Skins and Jets could easily swap positions.

If he does play? Still thinking he retires?

Ok point taken on Montana. However there are other players who have gotten the same surgery and continued playing. The QB position is one of the most protected positions. And I'll repeat if the doctors thought there was any danger he would not be talked about right now cause it would read PM forced to retire.

I understand the nerve and bis arm issue, also know his doctors have said it could take weeks or months before progress is seen but when it starts it could heal fast ss in most cases and we know his has started or he would most likely not be throwing so well.



I'm confused how PM hinders this team from filling other holes? All this would do is assure us Grossman would not be coming back. Unless you guys want Grossman back? No matter what they do in the draft MS and KS will have a Vet QB on this team and I'd prefer it be PM with all his knowledge vs. the others.

I agree with your point but I'd hardly call him a reject. A reject is Rex Grossman.
