I See QB Rumors (2012 QB Thread: The Sixth Sense)

Two Colts Dr.'s have now cleared Manning. If he becomes a FA I say we get him and build through the draft around him. No trading up.

I'm not sure how much the Colt's Dr.s clearing him means *shrugs*
That organization has seemingly decided to move on, it only forwards their momentum by saying Peyton is cleared to play thus opening the door for him to leave.

But, hypothetically speaking if he is in fact cleared to play:

o call Tom Moore ask him if he wants to be 'passing game coordinator' contingent upon signing Peyton

o tell Kyle that he and Moore need to work on how best to install Moore/Peyton's system

o call Jeff Saturday, Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez

o Mike Shanahan/Synder go to meet Peyton in person

o draft a RT and a OG that can start

I agree our doc's will have to clear him. If we can get manning we don't have to mortgage the future. We can possibly move down. Here a little fuel from my main man Kyle...

Today Kyle Shanahan threw a little bit of gasoline on the “Peyton Manning to the Redskins” fire that has been burning for the last few weeks.

Appearing on ESPN 980, the Redskins’ offensive coordinator said Manning’s age would not be a concern if he does attempt to come back from a neck injury that sidelined him for all of the 2010 season.

"I know he's up there in age, but if he's healthy, age is not an issue," said Shanahan. "That guy takes care of his body.”

Manning will turn 36 in March. The Colts will need to decide if they are going to pay him a $28 million option bonus in early March or release him.

The neck injury, which has required three surgical procedures in 19 months, is, of course, of concern to Shanahan. But if Manning gets a clean bill of health on that, Kyle thinks he’ll be fine.

"If he can recover," Shanahan continued, "and the doctors say he's healthy, and he says he's healthy, then that's enough for me."
