Going through a HC or two in the process.

Just saying. There is risk to it all, and this is what this decision is going to be either way. For me I see the risk in signing PM to a deal is what you said above: two years and he is done. BTW if we only get two years out of him because he is never gets fully heathy. This would get us in position to fix the problem again. RGIII is not the only good quarterback to come out over the next few years. The reward is getting 4-5 good to great years out of him, and winning a lot of games between now and then.

Trust me I get RGIII. If we were drafting in a position to draft him, I would draft him. BUT Peyton Manning's don't hit the market to often.
could not agree more

1. To fix the problem again we would have to trade up in a future draft to get a franchise QB, so what is the difference? All we have done is delayed the gamble.

2. You really think PM is going to play an elite level until he is 41? Get. Real. He will be 36 in a week or two and has had major neck surgeries.

I have zero interest in Manning. I have no idea what the lovefest here is for him. I'd rather have any other option though Griffin/Grossman is my ideal (with a McCoy/Leinart/Quinn 3rd stringer).

I had have to side with you on that. And this is coming from someone who thinks peyton is the greatest QB of all time. His health, the system, his price..its not quiet worth it.

Consecutive SBs isn't a dynasty? Ok, maybe that's over the top, but how the hell does anyone not see that a healthy Peyton Manning with an average defense has a legitimate shot. Improve the defense and it looks even better.

...I'll take those two "opportunities" over an unproven college player every given sunday. And it gives us two years to find/mentor that next guy. All you gotta worry bout then is our fanbase making the mistake Denver fans made in rejecting whoever had to take the first snap after Elway retired (w/ two rings in two season)

Lol, f that. I just made those because I couldn't believe those games weren't available. If I do another one it'll be the Oklahoma State game as that seems to have been his worse game.

Oh no please don't do that! Wouldn't want a video of my boy Weeden showing up RGIII. Besides everyone would simply ignor it or write it off as just a bad day for him.....in a bowl game. Or they will blame the coaching, but no way will Weeden get his props.

Hey QB's have bad games, it's a fact of life. Mel Kiper was talking the other day about how when he evaluated Big Ben how he fixated on the Iowa game where Ben struggled and how over the years he realized that focusing on that one bad game isn't much different then focusing on those one or two breakout games.

Also keep in mind that if Oklahoma State is the worse game you got for RG3 it's not much. Had a TD:Turnover ratio of (2:3), threw for 400+ yards, and completed 66% of his passes. I can live with that.

See that's the kind of slippery talk that takes us down the slippery slope of budget slippage.

Don't make me get Kriss Kross. They will make you jump jump.

Looks like Peyton Manning is getting better. Judging by him wearing that Colts helmet, he's going to take that pay cut and still be their quarterback. Remember, Jim Irsay said that whether Manning plays for Indianapolis or not at this point going forward is strictly up to Manning.
