I don't even necessarily want Manning but I cant help but get the offseason butterflies . There's no question he would instantly legitimize the QB position for our team.

Honestly....I was waiting until tomorrow (or at least later tonight when I got some more confirmation on a couple of things) before I started this thread and made it QB thread #11

So I'll just lock the other one, edit the title on this one and viola!

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

Maybe the Fins.

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

Hopefully Stephen Ross is in full force getting Manning! I want Griffin, Manning does not fit this offense!

Well if we do sign manning, well need threads 11 through 17 opened and closed in quick succession so we can discuss the move in thread 18 :-)

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

i think our opening day roster will include: manning inactive, flynn starting, with griffin backing him up. no doubt

SmootSmack, you should rename this thread Peyton Porn.

Definitely a top contender, adding a stud QB is at the top of their wish list

Seahawks: Gets to play in a relatively easy division, has a strong running game but not much in the way of WRs (Seahawks strongly looking at Flynn as well)

Chiefs: Another relatively easy division, and KC missed several key players with injuries. Peyton can stay in the midwest. Chiefs would let Orton go and happily bench Cassell for Manning

Jets: Can't find someone to take Sanchez off their payroll, a year later and this might have been a lock. At the moment, it's going to be tough

Cardinals: Manning to Fitzgerald...HOLY SH....

Redskins: Very tight with a key Redskin executive, has a lot of respect for Mike Shanahan, Kyle loves the idea of working with him, Skins have cap room to get him help

Those are probably your top contenders

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

Remember that year we signed all of those Jets players? Who is up for Manning, Wayne, Garcon, and Freeney (when he gets cut)?

That may be the understatement of the year.

Lol @Freeney. The conversion will be one year wasted in itself.

Let's see all the good off of the Colts, and added to a decent Skins team. PLAYOFFS!!

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

no doubt sir cp

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

Just like that, the 2012 QB Free Agent class joins the 2012 QB Draft Class as one of the strongest in memory.

Pick one of Wayne or Garcon, and let the other go. A case can be made for either, but not both. Wayne does have the U connection though. ;)

No need to. He's in Durham, NC if I'm correct.

Dolphins have the most interesting QB quandry if you ask me.

The owner and fans want Peyton

The HC probably wants Flynn

The OC, Mike Sherman, could put in a vote for Tannehill

All the while, Matt Moore, who led the Fins to a 6-3 finish sits and watches.

I say Washington and Arizona are the only true landing spots maybe Miami but I see Flynn there

[quote=skinsfaninok;892758]I say Washington and Arizona are the only true landing spots maybe Miami but I see Flynn there[/quote]

At first I asked why he would want to go to Arizona but after seeing that they finished with an 8-8 record with Kolb and Skelator as their QB's well safe to say the pitch writes itself. Then again every year is different.

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

My question is if we got Peyton could we afford VJax, a gaurd and others? Plus will we still go after RGIII?

re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

As great as Manning is, he does not fit the redskins system. It would take a lot of work for both Shanahan's and Manning to make this work. Also there is the health issue....

Dood, Larry Fitz is still there, waiting for the next QB to make him be a superstar again.

To get Manning to come to your neck of the woods you need to assure him that you'll be putting all your resources into building a winner for the coming year, at the very least. That means all free agents and early draft picks go towards guys that can make an immediate impact. So in terms of getting RG3, no. Heck it's possibly you might not even be able to get Tannehill.

As Smoot alluded to before. Signing Manning could easily mean a Manning-Cousins QB stable.

Bad news fans, the skins aren't going to give enough to get Griffin, Manning doesn't fit the offense, Flynn is not that good, it will be the new "clipboard holder" Tannehil...and some other back-up plan probably Orton. Get ready to draft the short USC qb next year and 5-11 this year.
