Official Peyton Manning Visit Thread

[snowthedirtbub]

Manning has been with the Cardinals now for 6 hours. How long did he stay in Denver?

 

[Shaggy]

There really is no chance of him leaving today with a signed contract is there? I mean, we won't really know anything until maybe Tuesday...right?

6 hours in Denver also...

I wouldn't expect it. Why would Manning feel any need to rush this?

 

[AsUdUdE]

The Titans fan base would have a collective orgasm if Manning signed there. He is a God in Tenn. It makes a lot of sense from a PR persepective for the team, not sure what sense it would make from Manning's perspective of having a good team around him.

Outside of Chris Johnson who took a step back this year, the Titans weak just about every area

OLine which had been solid was horrific this past year, WR core are in the bottom 10 in the league, CJ is good, Defense is ok, nothing great though..

The Titans other than the Vols connection don't really have anything to offer Manning, but its cute that Bud Adams has decided he wants to try..

No way Peyton goes to AFC south to compete with Indy AND Houston

 

[joeshmo]

but the team may have gone as far as saying "hey look 18 is already available"..as silly as that sounds.

Add on top of that that Denver has the #18 Jersey Retired. Manning cant have the number if he goes to Denver.

Come on... unless you are Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky, who cares about a number?

I didn't know that... very interesting..

I just checked the Cards website. He's listed as #14.

Check Yahoo sports before they update it.

Stephen Williams profile.

You way underestimate the superstitious nature of professional athletes.

Its why players give other players money just for a number.

Interesting to note that the Titans only allowed 24 sacks and 55 QB hits compared to the Cardinals 54 and 86. The Titans threw the ball 34 more times than Arizona.

On the other hand the Titans had a terrible year running the football.

Because Manning IS Gretzky/Jordan.. He is synomis with the #18, it like Elway with #7, Brady with #12.. Manning IS #18..

azcardinals.com and ESPN both have him at #18

 

[Buckybird]

IMO Manning goes to Denver I'm quite sure he'll get #18 regardless

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Look at his individual bio on the Cards site. It's 14. I've checked four times, lol.

You must be registered for see images

Must have been a rush job if the best picture available was him doing his best Bryant Johnson impersonation.

Is there any precedent of that in major sports?

I think Denver retired # 18, meaning he can't use it.

From Urban's blog Aug 2011...http://blog.azcardinals.com/2011/08/03/waiting-on-cba-and-other-notes/

Rookie CB Patrick Peterson is changing his jersey number to 21, with safety Hamza Abdullah switching from 21 to 23. A couple other holdovers are also switching, with WR Max Komar going from 18 to 10 and Stephen Williams from 14 to 18.

So Williams has changed back to #14 since then?
