The OFFICIAL Peyton Manning Sweepstakes thread...

GET THIS JACKSONVILLE TALK OUT OF MY PEYTON THREAD

In relevant news, Peyton worked out today for Titans officials in Knoxville.

 

[Rayman]

Leftwich is :troll:in

Steve Young says Peyton will sign with SF.

Anyone want to call him a liar?

 

[Obst]

Isnt that more of a sign how fucked the Jaguars are when a Lions fan can shit on them.

Just more a sign of your false arrogance because the Lions made the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

Expected to make his selection Monday or Tuesday.

Why did the Cardinals back out of the Cardinals sweepstakes again?

Why did the Cardinals back out of the Cardinals sweepstakes again?

Who said they backed out? Peyton likely said no.

 

[Tailback U]

Tired of this. Hopefully he makes his decision soon.

I got a ESPN text saying the same thing yesterday... I think it was Whisnehunt.

Friday was the deadline to cut Kolb, he earned a seven million bonus yesterday.

 

[SHOGUN]

Why did the Cardinals back out of the Cardinals sweepstakes again?

The Cardinals were trying to lure him quickly because Kolb's signing bonus was due on Friday afternoon, but him prolonging the courting process hurt their chances and from the sounds of it Peyton was putting them on the backburner before then anyway.

As if Peyton doesn't wanna stick it to Indy twice a year for the next 3 years.

Tennessee it must be.

 

[ThunderHorse]

maybe I'm nuts but Tennessee looks like the least desirable location behind San Francisco and Denver.

I can understand the Titan's side in a Denver Vs. Tennessee argument but look, Peyton isn't going to have a cakewalk in the south while that smug mother fucker is still running the rock in Houston (God damn I hate that MF'er but God Damn can that kid run).

If Manning goes to Tennessee it would more than likely be a comfort thing (mostly for his wife I presume).

I find it funny Titan fans are calling for Manning to return "home", when he probably lived in NO for 18 years, Tennessee for 4, and Indianapolis for the last 14.

I agree. I think if he goes to Denver or SF he will flourish, Tennessee... well he'll be like Brett Favre was to the Jets.

You're nuts. :shifty:

Peyton's not necessarily going to have a cakewalk in the AFC West either. The division itself is weaker (although probably more balanced), but SD still has a lot of talent and can definitely overtake a Peyton-led Broncos team - especially considering Peyton's track record against the Chargers.

In the South, you obviously have Houston as a challenger and then Jacksonville and Indy as spoilers. And the division has been set up like that for most of Peyton's career, with the Titans has the only main challenger and the Jaguars (although they had their moments) and the Texans as bottom-feeders. He's never really had a cakewalk division, so I don't seeing that becoming a factor.

If Manning goes to Tennessee it would more than likely be a comfort thing (mostly for his wife I presume).

Partly, yes. Nothing wrong with being in a comfortable spot for the final years of your playing career, especially when the team isn't a slouch.

Only reason I say it is because of the www.comehomepeyton.com site. :motte:

I'm interested to hear your reasoning for this.

Tired of this. Hopefully he makes his decision soon.

He originally said he'd take a week, and I applauded him for not being Brett Favre and taking up an entire summer to be on the news.

HURRY THE FUCK UP, PEYTON.

Yeah, it's exhausting following this every day. I'm super confident in our chances one day and the next I'm not.

Right now I feel we're the favorites, but have the feeling that Peyton will spurn us and go out west. Maybe it's because of my experience as a Titans fan or maybe it's because of the whole Albert Pujols mess a few months ago, but I won't be the least bit shocked if I'm disappointed on Monday/Tuesday.

The only positive I can see out of this is that we're still set nicely at quarterback if Peyton does do what I think he'll do.

 

[Len B]

I doubt that. Tennessee's offense would instantly become a top five offense in the league IF Peyton is on his game. People are quick to write off Chris Johnson, but can you imagine how dangerous he'd be with Peyton under the gun? He's caught roughly 50 passes each year, and I would take him #1 in fantasy if Manning went there. Add in Kenny Britt and a very underrated Nate Washington, and you have a full, potent offense.

The 2008 Jets had ZERO playmakers. Thomas Jones was their HB and Cotchery/Coles were their WR's.

They still have cap space and rookies to build a marginal D, and they should have an auto path to at least four wins over Jacksonville and Indy.

 

[Houston]

Titans vs Texans would be :fap:
