Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

[Swarley]

I'm sure it's been said, but let's not compare bringing Manning in, who is no doubt fired up like never before, to when we brought McNabb in. The only way I see Manning going the way of McNabb is due to injury. Peyton commands too much respect and is too much of an attention to detail guy to let anything get out of hand.

This is the biggest intangible that PM brings. The Redskins franchise and locker room have been a joke for a long time. With ridiculous FA signings... I was beginning to think players came to the skins for a big paycheck and an understanding that mediocrity was accepted. Peyton is the biggest competitor in the game and his presense in the locker room will make every single player better and change the personality of the team... Finally.

Plus he'd become the whipping boy of the family if he mailed it in. It's not like little brother Eli has the disadvantage in the number of of Super Bowl wins...
