Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

It would be scary if a doctor comes out and say that P. Manning should not play. Last time I checked, Don Banks is not a doctor. I do think Manning must make sure that he is medically ready to play (anywhere) and consider the consequences when he speaks to his doctors. However, as I said before all of this is speculation and rumors from people who are not doctors.

It also has to be noted that the surgery they are reffering to in the future would be after he is done playing not now.

He's so done.... and I honestly think that Allen and Shanahan are not going to go out and get him. Too risky. And for what? A couple of years?? Joe Theismann was right. Let's not do this quick fix BS anymore. With or w/out Manning we're not going to the SB next year so there's no point in signing him.

Exactly! Well said.

What's wrong with developing your young talent in a year or two? I don't understand why people act like we would be getting Manning in a vacuum. I think the health is a big concern, but I would hope that we have competent doctors on our staff that would make a correct assessment on Manning's health.

I have no problem with the team trading up, and I am actually glad that it seems as though the team has the option of either a.) trading up and use the cap room to surround a young QB with the deep crop of FAs this offseason or b.) pick up manning, a developing 2nd round QB, a FA or two, and continue to build through the draft.

Health issues aside, I don't get this stubborn, my way or the highway attitude of people that oppose to Manning's signing. I mean there is NO guarantee that we can trade up to get RG3, with the Browns sitting there with two #1 picks on this year's draft. Just as there is no guarantee that Manning would want to be here.

No point of being at the extreme of these two debates because anything can happen.

People act like great QB's can't be found in the 2nd round, or later in the first round. We're simply not in a position to give away picks to get RG3. As great an athlete that he is, he's going to need MAJOR coaching. Why not keep the pick, or move down and get more picks??

And Manning is 36 with bad neck nerves that weaken his tricep muscle. Now I do know this cause I did play QB a long time ago. Your tricep muscle is what gives you power to throw. I'm not a doc but that just doesn't sound good at all. I think ( and hope) we're done chasing other teams washed up players.

A) When did you examine him, so that you know this?

B) What medical school is your M.D. degree from?

C) What on earth would keep us from both signing Manning AND drafting a hot young rookie QB?

My first choice this offseason.

A) March 24th, 2011.

B) Emory, but I took some time off to get my PhD in French Literature at Oxford. I really wanted to do something for me. Anyway after that I did my residency at John Hopkins.

C) Depends on how hot the rookie QB. RGIII is a day 1 starter. Everyone else behind him is a group of guys that shouldn't be starting before week 8 at the very least.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to a triple bypass procedure, plus I got blood all over my keyboard.

Weren't you one of the ones who said the same thing when I suggested we get Andy Dalton? yeah, I'm pretty sure you were. Just pointing out how wrong you an be.

I didn't like Dalton because he was a Ginger. Any problems I had with Dalton had little if anything to do with his playing ability.

Isn't there a doctor here? Because from what I've heard this latest news is really being blown out of proportion. More surgery? Yeah probably but that could be a minor procedures many years down the road. Bone spurs? Not uncommon and not always such a big deal

Yeah, NFL players get this procedure all the time and are able to return to football with out inident. A major example is Montana, but for those who don't want PM to interfere with their team selecting RGIII, this is an anomaly and only PM is and or has been subjected to these issue's. Lets not take him. (sarcasm)

[Chico23231]

cant remember a more smoke and mirrors story in the NFL. information and misinformation from both sides. Irsay just cant keep his mouth shut to the media. Media just gonna driving it until free agency begins.
