A tweek to our OL and WR weapons brought in with a decent QB and I can see this offense scoring even 1 more TD per game which would if not win the game have tied them giving the Skins a chance to win. and.... this team has the money and space to bring in the players he would like to surround himself with if he'd like.

and thats why I see the Skins being a positive for him. I don't see Miami coming out next year going to the playoffs, nor do I see Arizona with their one good WR.

regarding your first comment, what standards could you possibly be going by?

According to NFL.com, if you go by total defense, the Redskins ranked 13th. Three of the top 5 defenses from 2011 (Houston, New York Jets, and San Francisco) have been rumored to be interested in Manning. Seattle and Kansas City, 9th and 11th, are also rumored to be interested. The lowest ranked defensive team rumored to be interested in Manning is Denver at 20. Really, when you rank the teams rumored to be interested, we are one of the WORST from 2011.

Regarding your last, how on earth do you see the skins as more likely to go to the playoffs than either Miami or Arizona? Both teams have far more talent than we do. I'm not saying it wont work out that way, but you completely dismiss better teams. I think you are looking at this too much from a redskins fan perspective and not a realistic one.
