The O line is going to be improved no matter what. Just can't see him wanting to play in the NFC East.

And the money situation will work itself out. Teams would find a way to structure a deal and/or he'd take a pay cut. He's not chasing money at this stage of his career.

i just dont understand why people say he doesnt want to play eli twice a year. they are both in the NFL, and if one is NFC and one in AFC, they could play in SB. if you dont want to play him then try the NBA or MLB.

If you guys think we are really wanting to trade all that for RG3 think again, BA and MS aren't about trading picks like that.

We can offer the guy a SB winning coach, a chance to become the king of DC, a chance to kick his brothers ass twice a year, and a promise to build something great quickly. We have a defense, give us an offense and you are damn right we can make the playoffs and who knows once you get in.

Are you sick of hearing yourself talk about all of the reasons he's coming here, like being able to kick his brother's ass twice a year? And did you cite Miami's owner as a negative and not ours?

Hey, I could be wrong, but I think he's going to KC for the BBQ

I think it's crazy to think it's not a factor when considering ALL of the options. There's a difference between a Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl vs. 2 mandatory regular season games each year. The chance to meet in the Super Bowl would be a sensible reason to stay in the AFC, in my opinion.

Easier to say that on Peyton Manning day eh

Still I think it's safe to say we have enough viable rumors linking us to a trade up with St. Louis. Just because they horded picks last year doesn't mean they'd be adverse to trading them this year. If they get Manning then fine trade down and hoard picks but if we don't get Manning we all but have to trade up for RG3.

I mean really, who else is there besides Manning and RG3 that can stop the staff from getting fired and preventing another episode of roster turnover that would make the stockpiling of picks a moot point?

Quality over quantity my friend, quality over quantity.

he is an competitor, and they both play in the NFL. he will go where he fits in the best for him, wherever that it is. i just cant stand the talk about "he wont go to skins because he will have to play eli twice", or "he wants to play in dome or warm weather". if he goes to dolphins he could have to play in NE, BUF, and New york in the winter time.

IF and that a big 'I don't want peyton but what does it matter he could still sign here' if, we get him, expect us to draft either Johnathan Martin or Blackmon, should he fall to us...

Claiborne's a possibility if we don't get a corner in FA, which could now happen should Cortland or Carr go to dallas..which would really suck.

I don't know where or how the 49ers were thrown into the mix for PM but I'm hoping to put it to rest unless someone else has something different.

49ers say they’re not even thinking about Peyton, but open to Moss | ProFootballTalk

Quote:

Although there appears to be nothing imminent between the 49ers and soon-to-be free agent quarterback Alex Smith, the 49ers’ front office says that bringing back Smith is the focus of the franchise — and that signing Peyton Manning hasn’t even been discussed.

“We haven’t had Peyton in here nor are we even talking about those things internally right now,” 49ers G.M. Trent Baalke said on KNBR, via the Sacramento Bee. “Is he going to play? I don’t know. That’s for the doctors to make the decision on and for him himself.”

Quote:

But all indications are that, despite what Jerry Rice may think, the 49ers are ready to rule out Manning.

Yeah it looks like sf is out now, I'd still say

Miami
Arz
Wash
Houston

Are the only true options

Meks · 03-07-2012, 11:54 PM
