Yes. I live in Mississippi, wear wranglers, and am the new franchise QB of the Skins. Now you know.

I think that Manning should go to the Dolphins. They should hire Caldwell pick up Reggie Wayne. With that young defense they could make a run.

Why would RGIII take a few years to develop

If you're talking about a guy that can win playoff games and lead the team to a Super Bowl then yes it will take him a few years to develop. If you're talking about a guy that can contribute heavily in winning games the team wouldn't otherwise win and improving the production on offense then I say the developmental time would be minimal.

I'm talking about a guy who will deliver my pizza on time instead of halfway through the 2nd qtr after telling me it would take 20 mins. F***ing bastard!

Uh, no. Not for his talent level and no, because of what has to be given up to get him.

Did I say that? I said it won't take him a few years to develop. Shoot with the way the NFC East was this year with decent QB play we would have won it.

You must mean "Luck-y" then.

If a deal with Indy for Luck is in place, which I doubt because they need a young QB to rebuild around as much as we do, then it could not be announced until the start of the league year in mid-March, at the earliest. I know the article said it would be announced at the Draft. I'm just stating the earliest a trade could be announced.

I certainly hope that we're not going to acquire Peyton Manning in a trade, as great as he is, because his neck injury makes me way too nervous for that.

Well we might not need to trade up too far folks...

Irsay plans to draft Luck or Griffin, even if Peyton is healthy | ProFootballTalk

Irsay said he knows from personal experience with Peyton Manning that if you have a chance to draft a great quarterback first overall you take it. And he sounded like a man who already knows he’s drafting a quarterback and needs to decide only whether that quarterback will be Stanford’s Andrew Luck or Baylor’s Robert Griffin III.

Maybe the Colts take RGIII because his stock rises by, during, and after the combine or maybe their new HC will like RGIII better. Which means Luck will fall... and with all the attention RGIII has been getting because everyone just assumes the Colts will take Luck, I can see the Colts listening to all the talk of RGIII.

I don't have any idea how that rumor got started. There was never any talk of "if Peyton is healthy the Colts might be willing to trade him." None. All the talk centered around how the Colts probably won't want to pay him the 28 mil bonus and the only way to avoid that is to release him, not trade him.

You still left the door open to us acquiring him.
