What about one where Vick is down on all fours and Tebow pushes Gabbert who doesnt see Vick behind him? If the D catches on we audible to Tebow Tebowing and Gabbert pushes Vick who doesnt see Tebow.

He may have considered us because of our need and his admiration of Shanahan (plus a close relationship to one of the owners) but we were not a factor in his search for a team.

That was PR BS. As i said, the skins knew about the possibility for the penalties long before they were approved. They big plans for free agency if the penalties were not approved, but they always had a contingency plan prepared in case they were penalized.

Also, youre statement that we were not a factor in mannings search for a team is not logical. If we werent a factor, he wouldnt have bothered to meet with us. Unless you think it was like going out on a pity date lol.

He never did actually meet with us to my knowledge. We had him on our list of potential Qbs, but he never had a meeting with us a la the meetings he held with MIA, TEN, HOU, ARI, and DEN.

We were ruled out fairly quickly after he became avaiable.

Yeah I thought Manning basically narrowed it down to Denver and Ten pretty fast.

Peter King said that Manning was definitely interested (I know Smoot can back this up) in coming here. But as PK reported:

"Midway through the evening Elway received a text telling him the Redskins had just pulled off a huge trade with St. Louis for the second pick in the draft, presumably to take prized Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. Elway told Manning, "Whoa—Washington just traded for the second pick. Looks like they'll get RG3."

"What!?" Manning said, stunned.

From that reaction, Elway knew that the Redskins had been on Manning's list."

...

"That afternoon Manning had another appointment scheduled—with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and his son Kyle, Washington's offensive coordinator. Though it made little sense after the Rams deal, the Shanahans wanted to keep the date, and Manning did. They discussed football for three hours at Shanahan's expansive house in Denver. Talk about strange connections. Shanahan had been Elway's coach for those two Super Bowls and was fired by the Broncos after the 2008 season. Now Elway ran the Broncos. As Shanahan talked with Manning, a text message popped up on the coach's phone. It was from Elway. "Hey, Mike, put in a good word for us with Peyton." All Shanahan could do was laugh."

"Look at the teams that wanted in but were cut out. Kansas City: Manning knows G.M. Scott Pioli but isn't close to anyone there. Seattle: no strong relationships. The Jets and Miami: ditto. Washington was a little different because Manning knows and respects Mike Shanahan, but the draft deal with the Rams ended that."

I have referenced this chain of events before but couldnt find the link. Thanks.

I stand corrected.

skinsfaninok · 01-11-2013, 07:23 PM

Even with the injury I'd rather have RGIII

Oh yeah definitely. Can you imagine though what kind of talent we'd have--essentially--wasted had RG3 been on the bench. I don't see a scenario where Manning would let RG3 on the field for Pistol/option offensive plays. It just wouldn't have worked. While Manning has stayed healthy, I still think we made the right move, especially since we'd of only had manning for 2-3 years.

He will be back. As really the guy is a team player. And wants to be back as well! As ASAP!

ProFootballTalk creates news, they don't report it. Mike Florio did his best to create news throughout BountyGate, why stop now?

What's even more annoying is the comments section. Still blaming Shanahan and all the weekend MD's that have this all figured out. Yeah I guess Florio had to milk one last story out of it.

skinsfaninok · 01-12-2013, 03:26 PM

Not gonna lie, I'm literally sick of hearing about this man's knee. And I'm also tired of hearing about how much he won't play in his career and how he's done after 2 more years blah blah. Stfu already good lord.

CultBrennan59 · 01-12-2013, 03:30 PM

Over/under 2 weeks until the Washington post stops writing or mentioning about griffins knee?
