So all of those teams you just listed are his best options.

I see one team up there who would make sense from a winning standpoint.

The Jets, really they are a side show now. Does he really want to go to his brother's city and play for those goof balls who share the Super Bowl champs stadium.

The Fins, who are picking two measly spots behind us. Yeah there are some good things there and plenty of bad. New Coach, owner, blah blah.

Seattle, really, really? Not even going to go here. Yeah go get your ass kicked by San Fran twice a year and live in the rain.

The Broncos, now these guys could win with PM. Really the best possible option you have up there.

The Cards, they have nice weather. I have heard this so many times in the past couple of weeks that I am so sick and tired of it. So a guy is going to go play somewhere because of the weather. Cards are big spenders now and have a great franchise? Why cause they went to the SB a few years ago and lost. They have a great WR. wow.

Who knows where the guy goes? I am just sick of hearing about all of the reasons this guy is going here or there. We will see.

We can offer the guy a SB winning coach, a chance to become the king of DC, a chance to kick his brothers ass twice a year, and a promise to build something great quickly. We have a defense, give us an offense and you are damn right we can make the playoffs and who knows once you get in.

Are you sick of hearing yourself talk about all of the reasons he's coming here, like being able to kick his brother's ass twice a year? And did you cite Miami's owner as a negative and not ours?

Hey, I could be wrong, but I think he's going to KC for the BBQ

Gotcha

[bertoskins2]

I think he will go down to two choices, miami (if they can meet his financial demands) or kansas city chiefs.

That's a great picture

Manning today is only 35, on March 24th I believe, he will be 36. You could be looking at 5 solid years of play for PM. I want the guy in the B&G for all of those possible years.

There are many on this site that are so sold on RGIII that I don't believe they realize that if he does not work out, that move will have set this franchise back another 5 years.

Give me the QB who comes with less risk and the upside is a winning team again. We have not had a winning season since Gibbs last year in 07. I want to root for a winner again.

THAT is the other side of the coin. As you point out, there are no sure things. High risk....high reward?

It is possible. There are plenty of reasons to believe that RGIII is perfect for us, but we have to give away so much for this kid. I just don't think we are in a position to give away two firsts and still build this team. AND if he is a bust well...... I guess there won't be much joy in ol DC any time soon.

Smoot, any inside word on where we stand in the Manning sweepstakes??

As far as his interest in us? No

We know the doctor gave Manning clearance to play. However, we don't know about his arm strength. Assuming his arm strength is okay, we don't have the offensive line to protect him or a great group of receivers. I also don't have a good feeling that Peyton would want to come to DC with all the losing that's gone on here for years. Maybe Shanahan would make a difference - Manning might like to play for him. It's so tempting to go out and get Peyton Manning but there seems to be an awful lot of obstacles.....including the fact that so many other teams are in competition with us.

There's a thread here somewhere about how he was recorded at Duke University throwing 35+ yard passes since his surgery. I didn't read the thread too much or check out the video so I don't know how legitimate it was.

The video is legit (according to Mort)
