Neither Shanahan runs a traditional west coast offense. The basic philosophy has always been run the ball and then hit the deep passes off play action. In fact it's that love for the deep ball that sees many a QB under Shanahan struggle to complete more then 60% of their passes. Even Elway. It's also part of the reason Shanahan loves QB's that can throw downfield.

Kurt Warner was just on NFL Network pointing out that it might take a coaching staff that allows Peyton to essentially run the offense to get him. I mean I guess it's possible we could sign him but based on what we've heard about the Shanahan's doesn't exactly sound like a match.

I think it would be extremely arrogant and stupid for any team to place the importance of their system over Peyton Manning.

And despite the perception of hubris amoungst our staff namely Mike and Kyle Shanahan; I can't even imagine that they would exult their system over Peyton Manning.

We are talking about the shannys, they are arrogant and extremely entrenched in their system. It would be major epiphany for them to alter the system that Mike won 2 trophies with. Lil shanny knows that after the first 15 plays he runs the offense every Sunday and will continue to do so until dad is fired or retires.

We also talking about Peyton Manning here.
Peyton Manning.
If Mike and Kyle either can't or aren't willing to accomodate Peyton Manning into their offense then they gotta go.

n/m....read it wrong.


However, I'm sure Peyton is going to have a lot of lead way to run any offense regardless of who's it is.

Exactly. They both have had plenty of time to prepare for this and I imagine both sides understand the others position even if they don't agree with it. They have had a great run together. No reason to tarnish that.

Again Kyle s offense in Houston was vertical also, and he's the OC not mike. Manning would fit in well IMO. Get him his guys at WR plus a good TE in FD and CC and let him do work

[Ruhskins]

If Shanahan and son can't make Peyton F*cking Manning work out, they need to be fired period. Look at freaking Darth Hoody and all the adjustments he's made over the years and how that has resulted in a dynasty.

nice little article

If Allen and Shanny think they have a good shot at getting the #2 pick in the draft, remember the "handshake deal rumor" then you pass on Manning and hope like HELL RG3 is the real deal. If you do not have a chance at RG3 then you throw the bank at Manning, draft Justin Blackmon at #6 then draft a QB in the 2nd round to develop and learn from Manning for the 2-3 years that he would be here. I know that everyone wants a franchise QB that will play for the Redskins for the next 10+ years. With that said, if we miss out on Manning and RG3 say hello to 6-10 next season. There will be nothing more frustrating in 2 years if Manning has some team in the playoffs playing great, RG3 developing into a fine NFL QB and we are still searching for a starting QB. This is the year to get a QB and there are 3-4 great/possible great ones to get, no matter the cost we HAVE TO GET ONE this offseason.

I am sick of losing
