The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

5 years, you mean 20 years? With the exception of one good year by Brunell and Ferotte along the way.

No love for Brad Johnson? Our only NFC East Championship season since Gibbs I?

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

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.



As would I

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.

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?

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.

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


I guess thats why i like it! They do have some good stuff, but there transactional type stuff is just pure guessing.

i have no interest in having manning on this team. when healthy, manning runs his own offense and i dont see why he'd want to come here, especially when his old qb coach is with the jets. if mannings a free agent, he's going to sign in new york and play in the same stadium as his little brother.

Agree...

Can you picture the "chat" between Kyle Shanahan and Peyton Manning when Kyle thinks Peyton ought to adjust his footwork or his release point?

Why would Indy give up a healthy Manning, if they release/trade him it's because his neck injury is worse than they originally thought it was. He wouldn't want to come here and I don't want him. Give me Bradford or RGIII.

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

Because they were stupid and agreed to the huge contract he has. and because they don't want locker room drama which sounds like it will occur if they draft Luck. So they take the next P.Manning and get rid of the actual P.Manning.
