I tuned into ESPN radio yesterday a couple of times and every time I heard someone say the Skins are not contenders for Peyton, citing this as the sole reason.

I wanted to scream. It's stupid and is obviously ESPN's talking point this week.

The Skins embarrassed the Giants with Grossman TWICE and Peyton has never backed down from challenges. He's one of the toughest competitors and hardest workers in the NFL...I doubt he's afraid of his little brother, the interception machine.

Manning on the Skins would vault us over the Giants. The NFC East is a very competitive division and the only thing that seems to really separate the teams is QB play. Us and the Cowboys have been suffering from inconsistent QBs. The Eagles never seem to have a starter who can stay healthy whether it was McNabb or is Vick now.

Add a top QB to any of the teams behind the Giants in the standings and they move to the top.
