I would hate to think that Peyton Manning didn't want to come to the Redskins because he thought the team wasn't good enough. Facing Eli Manning twice a year would have made for some interesting football and headlines. If that was the reason why he didn't want to come, then I respect his decision. But I didn't want Manning anyway because for one, he's not a young quarterback anymore, and two, signing him to a contract would have been too much of a risk. I'm glad we did the right thing by trading up and getting RG3/
