Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Lets just say he throws 2 INTs a game and makes bad decisions?

See, I'm planning for worse case scenario hoping for best case. I think some fans here or atleast it sounds like it see RGIII being the problem solver and there is no need for plan B. I'd rather not had given up 3-4 picks to get RGIII and he fail then to keep my draft picks and turn them into 3-4 picks with a plan A and a plan B in place.

I have said in numerous posts that I would rather have manning(healthy), a top flight WR, a back up QB and maybe a ILB (Te'o?) next year than Griffin this year(The three picks we would have to give up being those players). I just think it makes us a better team. However if we cant get that then I want Griffin. I am so tired of routing for a team with no real QB

More bad news surfaces for Peyton:

Manning underwent unknown surgery last year | ProFootballTalk

More surgery expected: Manning’s neck has potentially developed bone spurs. The Colts believe further surgery is “nearly inevitable,” even if Manning can successfully return to football this year.

Hard to know what to believe anymore. Could just be the Colts version of things.

Interesting timing for the release of these "new details".

Yeah one day after Irsay says that he'd love to have Manning back if he wants to work out the contract... Irsay is all over the place. He keeps saying he wants to keep the business in house, yet he can't keep his mouth shut to save his life.

Just watched a piece on ESPN about Irsay and apparently he and his father are recovering alcoholics. I loosely can quote him as saying, "Alcoholism is a disease that is 7 trillion and 0. A technical knockout every time." Maybe the stress of PM and the offseason turmoil was too much for him to handle and he's back on the bottle. Might explain his erratic behavior. Hate to see that be the case.

I suppose that's possible, but Irsay has been a bit of a nut for a long time, on or off the bottle. Got it from his father.

One neat way to ensure there is a lot of questions and not a lot of suiters for when you cut PM and hope to be the team to bring him back on a lower salary.

If I was PM I'd be pissed about all the negative info the Colts are putting out and basically tell them I would not be interested in a new contract or any type of restructure. I'd be ready to leave.

lol...work out his contract. I thought that douche bag Irsay said this wasn't about the money. Guy is such a ass clown. He really should shut the hell up.

It's to the point where I'm just pretending everything I hear is coming from PFT. Whatever happens, happens. I think we've analyzed this situation to the nth degree, now I'm just going to sit back and stay occupied with real life until something finally does happen besides talk.

no thank you, this will be our football lives if we sign him. Every week it will some injury update.

So that's 4 times he's been cut on in under two years? I just don't think he's going to be able to play anymore with this type of injury that's preventing him for throwing the ball like he use to.

Peyton has earned the right to play this out however he sees fit, but I'd rather see him retire than come back and play as a shell of his former self and then basically be forced to hang it up for performance reasons.

Those that are not ready to leave the game but have to coach. With his knowledge right now he'd be better served retiring and getting picked up as a QB coach assistant to which he can pass on all his knowledge about the QB position and the offensive scheme he was apart of for so many years. Which is why I was hoping we would go get him.
