Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

I have no problem with Rex briefly starting if we know there's a young QB a la RG3 or Tannehill waiting in the wings...not Beck

Has anyone seen the article on PFT about Manning not ruling out the Redskins yet? I wish I could post it here, but PFT is blocked. I think it's really informative and has a lot of information that nobody has seen yet. I'm pretty confident nobody has posted it here yet anyways.

Its very unfortunate that the Colts released Manning. But everything happens for a reason and I believe he should go to a team that would appreciate him, and not release him. There's speculation of him going to the Miami Dolphins. If he does, I think it would be a great idea for him to do that. It would be a change of environment!

Ok at the risk of not looking back I found this funny so sorry if it has been posted...

Honestly, if we were going to go the Orton/Tannehill route, I'd just assume not even bother with Orton and just keep Rex. You know it would probably cost the 'skins less, and personal opinion, I just don't see Orton as THAT much of an upgrade over Grossman.

Best case scenario, I'd rather the 'skins draft RGIII, keep Rex and let them battle for the starting job (in which we all know RGIII would eventually get) and replace Beck with Clausen.

You don't give up a bunch of picks to move up to take a guy, and then proceed to sit him to start the season. If you believe in RGIII that much to give up all those picks, he's got to be your guy day 1 he enters the building.

Unless he's hurt, there's no reason he shouldn't be ready to play right away.

I agree, but I didn't think the Giants started Eli right away did they?

They had Kurt Warner.

We have Rex Grossman.

You also don't put a rookie in a position to fail. We've seen that Shanny won't play guys if they can't pass the playbook test. I'm certainly not saying that RGIII will not be a good student, I just think you have to acknowledge that a rookie QB faces a pretty steep learning curve. Sure, we can all look at Cam & big Ben as examples of great rookie years, but those are still the exception.

I'm willing to see Rex as starting qb until the rook is really ready. I would hope that would happen by mid season.

I agree completely but I think the fear comes from Shanny deciding to sit Cutler for like 6 or 7 games when he was a rookie. I would hope that Shanny would have in mind how quickly he envisions RG3 starting and tailoring the backup QB to that plan. At the end of the day I just want RG3 and I would still be happy if someone from this board was the backup.

Have you ever had something new show up, get designed, or whatever and everyone is talking about it to the point you are just sick of it. So sick of it your at the point you .... just don't want it? Thats where I'm at with RGIII now. I know he will be good and I'll be happy if the team gets him ... I guess. But I'm so tired of hearing how he's "the it". he's the knight in shinning armor. He's gunna make us winners. He has no flaws. He's the BEST. :vomit:

You are on Redskins board in a thread that is specifically talking about our QB of the future, what else would you want folks to talk about on here? Care Bears?
