Colts to Part Ways With Manning

[dave]

Defensively the Dolphins are set. Offensively they could use some help at QB obviously, but they have the pieces to be great. They finished the year out strong as hell last season. They need to get one or two more OLmen, however. Manning could ball the fuck out with BMarsh, Bess, Bush, possibly Wayne.

If GM/owners want Manning, they will say fuck Flynn and go all out for him.

Which might be true ... but I'm guessing Philbon didn't sign on for 0 power.
Just a guess, mind you.

Doesn't matter what Philbin wants if the owner has a hard on for a superstar.

I am only assuming Philbon has clauses in his contract to avoid crap like that.

I'm thinking SF or Miami..

san francisco?

I doubt it

 

[FUSE]

Id love to see him go to Denver, but thats just me. Tebow could learn a thing or two from sitting behind him

I want him to go to Miami.

Brandon Marshall would be a top 3 WR again and Davone Bess would probably haul in 100 balls.

Reggie Bush would look like Sproles.

That offense would be dynamic. They just need a TE, even though Fasano ain't a slouch.

Don't forget the arrival of Reggie Wayne then too.

Wayne, Marshall, Bess, Bush, Fasano. Pouncey at C and Long at LT. And don't forget Charles Clay, a FB/TE/H-back who showed a good ability to catch and use his speed as a rookie. Clay has the physical tools to be like Dallas Clark....hopefully he DOESN'T have Clark's likeness to consistently getting fucked up.

Hard to be impartial, but WTF does Seattle have other than Marshawn Lynch that can compare to that? Throw in the drab, shitty weather for half his games too.

Deep inside though, I could see Peyton playing Miami. using them as the bargaining chip for driving up the price to where he wants to go.

Philbin doesn't even have any power over player personnel decisions. He has his $0.02 like any other coach. FYI, an owner ALWAYS has say over everyone if he wants something, HE OWNS THE FUCKING TEAM!

There has been zero talk that Philbin is pushing for Flynn. He could be, we'll see by how it plays out. But Ross, the owner, has said so far, that getting a big franchise QB is the teams #1 priority and something he wants done ASAP. Not only for competition....but to get people back in the damn stadium!

 

[Point Blank]

He'll be a Jet, I can see the lame Peyton and Eli New York shirts already.

 

[ralaw]

Listening to Mike and Mike......fans are retarded. They're talking about turning their back on the Colts, burning Colts stuff and following Manning wherever he goes...give me a break. I've always been amazed at how attached fans get to athletes.

 

[jms493]

not sure Peyton could play for Rex Ryan....

i root for the logo not the player

KC makes a lot of sense. The defense is on the rise, and should be very good. You get Jamaal Charles back. You get Tony Moeaki back. You have Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston, and Jon Baldwin. The cap room is there to bring in anybody and everybody Manning wants.

There is no reason the Chiefs shouldn't be all in on this. It's a no brainer if Pioli wants to redeem himself for acquiring Cassel. It's an easy business decision for Clark Hunt if he wants to see a full Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs haven't won a playoff game since the Joe Montana era. It's time to rent another Hall of Famer and make a run.

The best possible choice is SF. Anyone that thinks otherwise is foolish.

The best defense in the NFL to go with Manning, Gore, Vernon Davis, Crabtree and Reggie Wayne? They would probably be the SB favorites right away.

That said, I don't know if the 49ers want to go
That route. They are talking like they are happy with Smith, but it could be all talk.

I think any QB worth his salt would avoid playing under a hothead/diva like Jim Harbaugh. And SF's WRs are terrible. I can't believe you mentioned Crabtree by name.

Players like playing for Harbaugh because he knows he to win.

And Manning would make Crabtree a pro bowler. Look what he did to Collie, Garçon, Tamme, and even Blakr White. Crabtree is a lazy piece of shit but he has ability. Manning demands the most out of everyone.

 

[Houston]

Some Colts players are starting to go back to the "why are people counting us out just because Manning is gone?" talk that they had before last season.

My childhood was spent rooting for a player in baseball regardless of what logo he wore.
He retired.

I have ZERO rooting interest in any baseball team and not the foggiest clue how to get obtain one.

 

[Rayman]

What are we calling this by the way?

Manning Mania? Manning Watch? Peyton Palooza? Peyton-sanity?

 

[Houston]

Peyton Manning isn't a fad, it needs no name.

 

[Tailback U]

Radio saying 49ers are in talks with Smith, and are not in the Manning sweepstakes right now.

Might be better for them anyway. If I am them I go after Mike Wallace.
