Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Years ago I dated this girl named Dawn.
I slept with my head between her legs.
Every day I would wake up at the crack of Dawn.

By the way, for you fans who are against PM because he can't throw....

Polian adamantly denies reports of Manning's poor arm strength

Polian refuted comments made Wednesday by Indianapolis Star reporter Bob Kravitz on Tony Kornheiser’s radio show, calling them simply “untrue.” He went further, saying that he saw Manning throw on New Year’s Eve and Manning showed, "quick release, good zip, but it was capped at about 25 yards.”

Polian said Manning is showing progress and that “his range of motion between his right arm and his left arm are almost the same at this point."

I say draft up for RGIII.

but Peyton isnt the worst option lol
I think Peyton will be just find and propell whatever team he plays for.
If it wasnt for Newton boosting a guy like RGIIIs draft status we wouldnt be having this convo.

Can we have that option please. I don't care how you cut but there is a risk in either of the top two rookie QBs, and it will be a few years before we see a rookie come out and play like Cam Newton did this year. RGIII will not put up Cam Newton #s. It has been years since a rookie came out and played like Cam, it will be years till the next.

This is an interesting read regarding Steve Young's view of MS and how Peyton could thirve here.

GREAT find!
Nice to have the opinion of an actual player with HOF skills, rather than the endless...blather of blowhard player wannabe's....gone sportscaster and armchair quarterbacks.

“Well first of all, no one is doubting my love affair with Mike Shanahan,” Young said. “I mean, the two of us, for three of four years, the guy was unbelievable. He can call plays like no one I’ve ever seen. He was just amazing in my professional career. So first of all, when you talk about quarterbacks and who could really do something with Peyton Manning, in my mind it’s Mike Shanahan....It’s one of those places where it seems like it’s all in place.”
Then Thom Loverro speculated that Shanahan’s quarterback guru reputation has taken a hit in recent seasons.
“Let me just tell you this: Mike is a phenomenal playcaller, but he wants a quarterback that will protect his incredible ability to call plays,” Young said. “In other words, I’m gonna call a series of plays, I’m gonna put combinations together that are a little bit outlandish, but you need to protect me. Most playcallers have to go the other way — I’ve got to call plays because my quarterback’s not gonna protect me and I’m gonna protect him. That relationship is vital.

Wow...that quote especially is perceptive. Always thought young was one of the brighter QBs to play and game, no surprise he saw things much the same way as MS and they had great coach/player chemistry.

Play-calling wasn't necessarily inspiring in Denver though, before or after Elway. What I remember most are the nasty defenses under Philips and elite players like SS, TD and Elway consistently making game-changing plays.

If you go to the bottom of the article it gives you Chris Mortenson's opinion as well as some others. Steve to me is the most valueable as you are talking about a HOF who has worked with MS and knows PM. It can give him some insight as to why the relationship would work.

agreed. the writer is updating that article line, as new people come out and talk about PM to the Redskins.

[NYCskinfan82]

My picks are PM or Bradford, PM allows us to trade back & get more picks lasts years draft spoilled me this whole tradeing back and getting more picks and good talent is a BRILLIANT! idea.
