Peyton Manning UPDATE: Miami has been ruled out (Post 885)

I'm liking D.Wade's twitter feed right now.

I'm just gonna put it out thr..peyton that number 18 wld look gr8 in a dolphins uniform..steve ross let's go.. marlins & heat style..All in

That's OUT..NY is Eli city..RT @stephenasmith: Hell No,@DwyaneWade. J-E-T-S.....Jets! Jets! Jets!

 

"Kids, move your toys, Peyton's hoppin in."

 

what in the heck is that scary walking dog thing???

 

If we see Peyton sitting court side tonight, he's a Dolphin.

 

so you can leave?

 

We waived Feinga again?

Anyway, it's not the same. Manning does not need to clear waivers. He was cut not waived.

 

I hope he goes and every single Miami Heat player walks up to him and shakes his hand, and they award him our NBA finals trophy. It's okay because we are going to be winning some replacements soon

 

i was hoping this too.. well idk about the latter but i hope our big scary heat manbeasts welcome him and tell him to bring his talents to SB

 

Signing Manning is risky but you can't pass up the chance to get a QB of his stature, we are talking about one of the all-time greats, even if he is 36.

 

Well the second part was more a fantasy than something that could ever happen lol.

Could you imagine if Manning held a press conference and said those same words. "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" everyone would flip ****.

 

even if he said it jokingly with a S*** eating grin i would LOVE this. ahaha.

 

Is he speaking of free agency in general?

 

What'd he say? Im on the road.

 

do you think he'll be at the heat game? when is it?

 

aww.. well... yeah and if it did happen id pretty much bank manning in aqua.

i guess i'll hope for it, hah

 

Yeah, well...two words....Tom Moore

 

Nice job staying on top of it.

 

thanks for the sweep

 

No doubt, he has to know the crowd would be chanting his name with pleas to come here, I think it would be uncomfortable for him.

But if he does go, that would have to be a good sign for us.

 

Advantage Dolphins
I like the way that sounds.

I have made it known Im against Peyton coming here only due to the high risk nature of his injury and our franchise's recent history of screwing everything up.

But I admit, it would be very, very, very exciting to see my favorite QB of this era, who like me grew up idolizing Dan Marino, wearing aqua and orange. I may be against this move, but Ill be damned if I said I wasn't excited about this. Then adding Reggie Wayne? That would be pretty freakin' awesome.

That said, I still think Flynn would be the better route, but alas its looking like Peyton is coming here and Flynn will likely go to Seattle.

 

I'm not against it but I fist pumped you because I think it's a really insightful post. I think we all know the risk/reward to the move, but in the end the reward is so high and the risk is just staying in the same place we are right now a few seasons. I'm okay with that.

 

This just seems too good to be true. It's a little hard to believe.

 

Is it wrong of me to say reading that just gave me an erection? I mean signing Peyton alone would be a dream come true. But, to get Wayne thrown in just makes it a win/win IMHO. Hell, sign Saturday while you're at it.

 

The risk is losing on Matt Flynn, who could be a much better option.

 

I'm perfectly fine losing on Flynn, in fact I'd prefer it.

 

Again, please (and this is a serious question) tell me how you think Flynn might be a better option? Because he's younger? Because he's stronger? What is it about Flynn that has people ready to throw big bucks his way. The guy has started 21 games since 2004. He was a 7th round draft pick for a reason, for christ sake he coulednt beat JaMarcus the Hut out at LSU.....Just because he was tutored by Aaron Rodgers means nothing, just ask Curtis Painter or Jim Sorgi.

Well Tom Brady was a 6th round pick...... and Flynn put up great numbers in his two games

 

Yeah I watched some of the highlights from his "great game" again. Don't get me wrong it was a great game. However a lot of the throws were to WIDE OPEN receivers, and at least a few were not very well placed passes that the corners just completely misplayed.

Spectacular overall game that day but I just don't see the long term.

 

The only one acting like a tough guy here is you. Curb the attitude or GTFO.

 

He is younger, he has proven he can play, and the system that he excelled in is in Miami now. Philbin is the new HC of the Dolphins, in case you missed it. Peyton Manning is 36, has a very bad injury, and will likely change the entire culture of this team if signed.
