I See QB Rumors (2012 QB Thread: The Sixth Sense)

This is why theoretically Manning to DC would be "perfect" if the Colts released him. But again there's absolutely no reason for Manning to want to come here.

What other QBs will/could be FAs or even UDFAs?

You say there's no reason for Manning for to come here, I say Manning could potentially look at Shanny's success with an old Elway and see that as reasoning to come here.

But either way if Manning was a free agent, the only way I'd want him to come here and fill the void was if the guy we hopefully draft wasn't ready to start from day one.

Denver also had a pretty stacked team those years... Which the Redskins don't have.

This.

Today's niners = broncos w/ Mike and Elway those two years. Manning could also win the Lombardi w/ Ravens or maybe Jets.

Def not Skins lol

Probability of Mike S winning another SB is less than a Ron Paul presidency...

Well duh, but I'm just saying there's at least one reason Manning might want to come here.

That's a good point, but it could also be a clash of egos/styles. Manning has been running the same O for years & has such a command of it. Would the Shannys give him the kind of pre-snap flexibility he's used to? You would think they'd adjust some things for him, but we saw w/McNabb that they wanted things done a certain way.

I know Peyton is totally different, I still see the potential for a system misfit that would again set the team back & create more drama. Hopefully, he retires. Smoot's early info about the skins not being that interested, makes sense to me. I think in some ways getting Manning would be more of a risk for Shanny than drafting a qb early.
