Will you cry if he goes to Denver?

No, I have confidence in Kolb/Skelton to get job done. Peyton though gives us huge advantage though.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

This board is REALLY setting itself up for a huge letdown. Perhaps this board should be temporarily shutdown if he chooses Denver, like how the Dow is sometimes suspended.

.... and miss the "If they had been proactive... if they had foresight... if we had an owner respected by the national media... if we had a real GM, etc, etc..."

No thanks.

If I were a betting man I think contract perimeters may already be in place or he wouldn't have accepted trips to these teams and report that he wants to sign by Tuesday. Not enough time to hammer out a contract that fast but there is enough time to negotiate the details of perimeters already set in place.

This is something I don't understand. How do teams sign free agents so quickly? Dansby signed with Miami the first day of Free Agency in 2010. Do teams target a guy, estimate at what it will take to sign him, and draw up a contract for him before free agency begins and then hand it to him when he visits?

Or do guys sign a letter of intent or something similar?

Do teams have a template contract and simply fill in the numbers during the visit?

You forgot 'weeping and gnashing of teeth'... who'd want to miss that?

Unfortunately for Kolb, his concussion issue is a very serious concern. IMO, it is as least as concerning as Peyton's neck. During the season I said he should retire. Honestly, if I was in either family, I'd tell both Manning and Kolb to retire.

I'm really thinking that there is more to these concussions.

So the tour is over and it's time to get to the nitty-gritty...

Wtf??? Whiz why is Peyton carrying his own bag??? A big heavy bag to boot with weight stressing his neck??? Errrrrrr!!!

it would be like a nuclear explosion

We're not talking about Matt Leinart here. Perhaps, Manning is a man and wants to carry his own bag.

If you could lip read you'd know the reason: We're a down to earth group here, Peyton. Everyone carries their own weight. Welcome to the team.

Its called tampering, and it starts at the combine when GM's and Agents are in the same building. NFL's dirty little secret that isn't so secret.

Why so upset? There's no chance Manning signs with the Cardinals. Remember?

It's actually slow...only 45 members. Seen over 100 members in off season before.

I know he's helping with my prediction.

He did it as part of his physical.

 

[THESMEL]

me too

Skelton has better wheels than Peyton ever had, nobody has a stronger arm than Skelton, Is peyton worth 20 millin a year to tutor him? I don't know maybe? Peyton played 208 games in a row! But missed all last year.

The reality is I think we have a year to adjust to Peyton, and a 2 year window to win with him. Like Elway at the end of his career, Peyton must allow team mates to participate more. another example of run game and balance IMPORTANCE!

Beanie Wells is 23 years old, RWill should be ready to go, and Peyton Manning only lost 18 fumbles in 208 games- Kurt lost 6 in that Jets game!
turnover ratio- ball protection - is more impressive to me than Peyton's passing stats.

No, I have confidence in Kolb/Skelton to get job done. Peyton though gives us huge advantage though.

I'll leave it to the Miami metrosexuals to carry his bags.

In AZ like Indy, real men carry their own luggage.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Perhaps, Manning is a man and wants to carry his own bag.

I'd be more upset if he WASN'T carrying his own bag.

That's Peyton being Peyton. No entourage. Carry his own bag.

ESPN reporting what we already knew, that Miami is not being considered and it has been narrowed to AZ and Denver

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...-denver-broncos-arizona-cardinals-sources-say

...
Yet the Cardinals will make a hard push and put on what one team source said is a "Louisville-style full-court press." Manning also is close with Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and has played golf with him.

Manning arrived at the Cardinals' facility with Whisenhunt shortly after noon ET on Sunday for his visit with the team. He stepped out of a white SUV and nodded and waved to cameramen as he walked past a security gate and into a building.

A few minutes earlier, Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald arrived in his own car.

Manning will be meeting with multiple high-ranking members of the Cardinals organization, including president Michael Bidwill, who sources say is determined to sign the former Colts quarterback.


"This team missed on Montana when he went to K.C.," said another Cardinals source. "This is a different owner, just with the same last name. Michael will do what it takes.


."He is hugely aware of our fan base and how his dad is viewed. He came to work with this team to get the stadium built. It took him a long time to get that done, but he did.




"He is a driven young owner that wants to totally change this franchise's image."

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Whis "Rod, do something for a change man!".

How much will ticket prices increase if 'we' sign Peyton?
