Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

This is probably the best case scenario...although RG3 at #6 could also land us many suitors in a trade (Miami, Cleveland, Seattle, etc., etc.).

i agree with doing a trade down in that scenario. RGIII and manning are two completely different types of quarterback. I know this may seem like a stupid statement, but i can't see RGIII really benefiting much from sitting behind manning for 2 or 3 years. it could even stunt his development. i think if we decided to go with manning, our primary strategy should be to surround him with as much talent as possibe. that means not using high picks on another QB.

That's if Peyton lasts 2-3 years

If Peyton comes back, it will be because he thinks he can play 2-3 more years. If we signed him, it would also be because we think he can play 2-3 more years.

Lord have mercy! Now people are wanting to write about how Manning should go to the Eagles???? It's gonna be a LONG month until free agency...lol!

A recovering Peyton Manning is still a better option than Michael Vick for Philadelphia Eagles | lehighvalleylive.com

Not necessarily. Sometimes a chip on your shoulder can cause irrational decisions.

Yes, but the only one with a chip on their shoulder would be Manning. I am willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt with McNabb (I still think it was a terrible idea, but whatever). But our entire FO deserves to fired if they signed an unhealthy Manning or if MS is not able to fit his defense to a healthy Manning.

As it has been mentioned before, signing Manning will only cost us money. Regardless of whether we get Manning or not, the key will be for his FO to get their QB of the future. Either by trading up for RG3 or getting a Tannehill/Cousins/Osweiller/etc.

Well said. I strongly believe that Peyton won't come back unless he knows he can play like he has done in the past.

I like Tannehill for the future but I am an aTm fan.

Truer words...

In the (longshot) case of signing Peyton and RGIII falling to 6 and we take him, it will be very interesting to see what kind of QB RGIII becomes under Manning's tutelage. Griifin has such superior physical ability by all accounts if he could learn to be the OC type QB Peyton is holy sh!t what a phenom!!

Exactly. The only way I could PM retire after just one more season is if he wins the lombardi but just was physically battered.

Hopefully the Browns take Blackmon and no one wants to give up a bunch of picks for RG. I'm just tired of backup Qb's under center. If we get Peyton and RG isn't available we must trade back and fill some holes.
