more ifs and uncertainty about manning's health. let me pose this question: if he can't throw the ball like an nfl qb in 6 months, would you want the redskins to sign him?

This is a moot question. It's reported today on the NFL network improving. But to answer your hypothetical question I'd want to know from PM if he was not able to play would he consider staying on and assisting with coaching in some capacity? If he would and would give your team first crack at a contract then it's a win win and you go out and pick up a really good Rookie QB who can either learn behind PM or could be coached up by PM.

He's not going to just out of pads and right into a clip board. There is a big difference between being a player and being a coach. There is a progressive process. You normally start out as a quality control guy, move up to an assistant position coach, and go from there. I realize Peyton Manning is an amazing student of the game but it just doesn't work that way.

I didn't say make him OC or QB coach, I said see if he would like to stay close to the game and work as an Asst.

Then I'd have to have more information in regards to his recovery.

I really don't want PM. My first choice would be Flynn because he's young has shown he can make all the throws and is healthy. If Flynn is out I'd take PM over Orton and either hope PM is ready or plan on said Rookie stepping up early.

Maybe I'm miss understood. I presumed someone was refering to the Skins taking a holder for field goals because of some of our bad snaps and bad holds for the kicker this year. I apologize for miss understanding that someone wanted a kick off holder for windy days. < can't we pick one of those up late in the draft or are they a dying breed and we should go after one in the first round cause I too definitely don't want to miss out.

i was just grinding your gears, i'm sorry. does anyone remember bryan barker's nose? i can't remember if tupa held for kicks, he would have been ideal.

So the lastest word that I heard today was that Shanahan LOVES Weedon and wants to move down in the 1st round to get more picks. Heard this on Lavar and Dukes. If this rumor is true then I'm all for this. We're not getting Luck or RG3 so why not try and move down? I like this way of thinking.

Not because I wanted him but rather him not being a free agent makes getting RGIII just a wee bit harder.

Big risk IMO - he'd be tagged at ~$14 mil and if he was smart, would sign the contract right away. Then Packers have until Mar 13th to trade him or take the contract hit.
