Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

[los panda]

i have no idea what kind of contract flynn is going to command. if the redskins signed him for less than $7M/year and rg3 fell to us at 6, i'd be happy to have both. that will not happen

I'd take this and a bag of chips, but I don't see RGIII falling past the Browns. I think I'm the only one here who believes the Rams are probably looking at taking him and dishing Bradford.

I'm with you on that one, praying for it everyday.

you have to take a risk sometimes to get a reward, i see what your saying and that would be great if rg3 fell to 6 but idk if that will happen. I think its time we get our qb of the future and i think it could be him but thats just me, i really really dont want another year of sub par qb play. The only options I like is picking up manning if hes fully healthy and rg3, but both of these are risks, but what choice isnt you have to take a risk at some point and hope it pays off

This article simply points out exactly what another article actually mentioned and that was RGIII has great long ball accuracy. Timing is great on his deep ball also. Basically put he can throw the deep ball and he can throw the short ball but he has trouble with the intermediate routes which might be the only thing open with the 3-4 zone defenses.

To be fair to Irsay, he is in a tough spot which I don't envy. If Manning walks then Irsay is the bad man who chased the greatest Colt in history out of town. If he keeps Manning then he's out $28 million for a QB who may not be durable and who may stand in the way of a reloaded future. Irsay is kind of damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't.

It's a tough spot. If I'm not mistaken, Manning's camp has leaked that he'd be willing to sign a contract that is loaded with mostly performance/playing time based incentives.

Irsay basically gave him almost $30M for nothing this past season. Can you fault the guy for not wanting to do it again? Peyton Manning would count for about $35M towards the Colts salary cap next year ($7M in base pay plus the bonus I think). That's a gigantic number for a guy who's health is a total question mark. Colt or not, I don't think there' s a snowball's chance in hell Manning ever sees that $28M.

Wow, it really is the offseason.

All this time I thought you were supposed to judge the outcome of an injury after rehab is complete?

I had no idea you could look at someone in the middle of rehab and consider that the end result.

The sports media is on a fast track to becoming no better then the tabloids.
Playing fast and loss with the meaning of 'procedure' vs 'surgery'.
The list of medical treatments that can be considered 'procedure' or 'surgery' is very long.

Also, I don't understand the notion that signing Peyton prevents the team from building through the draft.

I...personally am not aware of anybody faulting him for baulking at the number. I think that is completely responsible action.
The Knock on JI has been his childish ass Twitterspace behavior and.....airing matters to the world that belong in the locker room.

He's not in a tough spot. Manning can't even throw the ball. When the time is right he just needs to hold a press conference and say that the risk is too great and they're going to rebuild with Luck. Instead he keeps running his mouth. It's like the guy's obsessed with his stupid ass Twitter. Are there any other owners out there Twittering?

The bolded above is not the take away from the article I got at all.

Did we read the same article?

You gotta respect Manning's passion for the game and competitive will. Assuming he'd play here, if team doctors check him out and are satisfied, there's absolutely no shame in "taking the risk" on Peyton Manning in 2012.

Any team that picks up Manning has to be damn sure about his health and ability to play. I am sure that a lot of conflicting reports will surface between now and whenever Manning has to start meeting with team doctors as part of him being on the market.

This is more spin control by the Colts who have been feeling the public backlash for the past 24 hours since Irsays latest comments.
