The Big Rumor: If The Colts Take Luck, Then Manning Could Be...

SolidSnake84 · 01-02-2012, 11:28 AM

Just heard this morning that Peyton Manning has stated he will ask for a trade if the Colts draft Andrew Luck. So i guess it is official. Let the Manning watch begin. Assuming he ends up being able to physically play again, where is his most likely destination?

I personally feel that Washington, Miami, New York, and San Fran are very likely destinations. Even as Redskins fans, we have to at least consider that Snyder has thought about what it would take to get Manning.

There are a lot of positives for him here if he can play one or two more years. The skins could become instant superbowl contenders while still letting a young QB learn from the games best.

It's not worth it. We'd have to give up too much to get him. It'll only take one good hit to end his career too. It's not worth the risk. Why end the rebuild a third of the way through completion?

There's no way Manning and Luck co-exist in Indy. Nothing personal between them but there's no way Luck is willing to sit or Manning willing to share. This is going to get really interesting mid-March because Manning won't renegotiate the $28 million due to him without an assurance they won't draft Luck and Luck will force a trade if Manning is still on the roster come draft day.

As for the Redskins, I'm 100% opposed to Manning suiting up for us.

I would offer a 5th or a 4th for him not to come here! I'm going to say it now. I would rather have Rex Grossman.

Grossman flat out sucks, Sanchez at least took his team to the playoffs his first 2 years. Yes, hee had a shitty year this year, he has improved every year and Holmes and Burress didn't help his cause nor did Shottenheimer who is going to get fired in NY for a reason.

Damn him!!!

Oh wait

My gut says we're not going to make a serious bid for Sanchez, but are going to offer our 6th or 7th for Clausen.

a seventh rounder for Clausen? Even that seems too high. I hope we only use him as a backup to whoever we pick in the draft... We do intend to still draft a top (or second) teir QB, right?

or the any number of other college QB's declaring other then Luck and RGiii. Flynn is not the only QB left.

LMAO Jimmy Clausen?? If the skins go into camp with Clausen and Rex fighting for the job I won't watch 2012

The problem is what ever happened to the statement that P.Manning takes a hit the wrong way he might be paralized? that came from somewhere... his doctor, the team, the media. How much truth was in that statement?

I guess I'm saying will P.Manning even be able to play? Will a doctor clear him to play? trust me I'd love to have his brain here with the Skins as either a QB or coach but after the early reports we have not heard anything about where his status is and it might be he doesn't get cleared and he has to hang up the cleats. So if we could get him cheap then I hope the Skins pick him up but I'd bet the Colts would want to get something for him and will keep his status a secret just to get a reward.

Can the coaching change for the Skins be that they are firing the QB coach and bringing in P.Manning as our QB coach? I'd be thrilled.

You might need to invest in some pepto bismol to relieve that terrible pain in your gut!

Yes i agree with you on all points. I firmly 100% believe that Peyton will never, ever, be full health again. I also beleive that he will attempt a comeback, but it will end badly, with him either not passing a team physical, or him getting out on the field and just looking like a shell of what he was. Worst case scenario is that he suffers another neck injury.

My statement earlier was saying that "IF", and it's a big IF. IF Peyton is able to physically play and be what he was before, he would be huge here to hold us down at QB for a year or so until a young gun QB is ready to take over.

I personally want to see Peyton go the safe route and go into coaching, but the media pressure with this thing right now is unbelievable. I never even beleived we would ever be talking about the Colts trading Manning, but knowing the Redskins, and knowing Snyder, it at least has to be mentioned that he could end up here.

I'm not talking about Clausen as the main guy. That's not being considered
