I second this.

Seriously, I never even bother clicking on a BR link.

I always picture some 12 year old kid writing those "articles".

Bleecher is good for mock drafts, that involve no inside info or knowledge just pure guessing. Its all pictures.

It's picture, but it's also a slideshow which blows.

Seems that old Mel even believes we will be in play for Peyton if he's cut and healthy.

if the colts shop payton manning what type of market is there for him and could they get a 1st round pick for him?

Mel Kiper-
He's going to be free. It seems like they're going to keep him or cut him loose. If they cut him loose then it looks like Washington might be a team to make a big play after him. But he's coming off a big injury. There is some risk there. He's been in the league since 1998 and he's coming off a big neck injury.

What's your best guess as to how Washington will approach fixing the QB position?

Mel Kiper-
Peyton Manning is the big option. You keep hearing they make a push for him. Mike Shanahan can't afford to misfire on another QB. His evaluation of QBs has been shaky. They went out to get McNabb. He gave the job to Rex Grossman. They went with John Beck. That all didn't work. Do they go after Matt Flynn? They might not go after him. RGIII in the draft is someone they'd have to move up to get. AFter him, there's no one else to go get. Mike Shanahan needs to start winning some games.

This would be the perfect scenario.

1) Sign Peyton Manning to 3 year contract.
2) Draft Justin Blackmon in the 1st round.
3) Draft Foles (or Tannehill if he's available) in the 2nd round


I would do back flips over this scenario.

Why would manning want to go from one situation where he is looking behind his back with a young QB in Indy to the same situation here?

Because one is a day 1 starter, the other is a developmental QB. Huge difference.

Not sure who that "young" QB in DC is lol? Can you fill us in?

More importantly why would Manning go to a franchise that doesn't project to be a winner any time soon. If he leave Indy it'll be for San Fran, which I think is his very best opportunity because he will win a couple SBs there, or possibly the Jets. Jets are a circus though and I'm not sure Manning wants to be a ringmaster at this point.

This would really be the only scenario that I wouldn't hate with us bringing in Manning and Tannehill. I don't like either one of them as an independent option but I think Tannehill being at least 2 years from being an NFL starter and Manning likely having only about 3 years left at a high level, that could be a good succession plan. I'd love to see us get Blackmon, we need a playmaking WR as badly as a QB IMO. I'd favor this over any Flynn scenario and just below trading up for RGIII.

I would be pissed if this Madden 12 plan went through.
