Will the Shanahans attempt to alter the things that Peyton does best on the field and try and change him like how they did with McNabb? Will Mike Shanahan and Kyle Shanahan allow Peyton Manning to call his own plays like he had been doing for Indianapolis? What if the situation blows up like it did with McNabb?

Good questions.
But I think the larger question is this: do you trust Mike/Kyle to recognize that PM has proven to be successful enough in his passing offense to warrant adapting their entire offense to more or less mirror Peyton's passing game?

Therefore I don't think it becomes a question of whether PM can learn the Kyle's playbook and verbiage or do what they want him to do.

I think Mike/Kyle would have to come to an understanding that if the sign PM they're signing on to install the 'PM passing offense'.

My thinking is that PM would teach the passing offense to Mike/Kyle/Matt LeFleur/Ike Hilliard.
They would then translate PM plays into their verbiage.
Peyton would have to learn to speak the language of our offense so he could call his plays and our players would understand; which imo would be no problem.
Then sit back and watch PM take charge of the passing game taking every rep from the start of OTA til the playoffs.
