Honestly looking at this move from a league stand point and in particular from a Fox stand point this would be huge for any network airing the game as far as ratings and pre game hype machine. Throw in that the Redskins and Giants could both be in the hunt for the division and playoff spots at the end of the year, the TV networks would salivating for this matchup twice a year.
Throw in the fact that DC is a huge market and the fact that a guy like PM could come in here and turn this deal around fast making the Redskins a NFC East, playoff contender, and SB contender for a 2 or 3 years it would be a huge, both beneficial to the Redskins and Peyton.
So for if Archie doesn't want it to happen he is just trying to save Eli from being embarrassed by his older brother twice a year.
Can a father really try and control the older Manning's career? He may have been able to get away with it when Eli was a rookie, but you are talking about a grown ass man here who has accomplished more than his father ever did and could become a hero in the Nations Capital.
There can be more reasons made for Peyton to come to DC then there are for him not too.
