  • I normally don't give a shit about players on other teams, but today saddens me. Peyton Manning in his prime was a thing of beauty to watch. It's sad to see him part ways with the Colts.

  • Chilly has too much ego to give Manning the kind of control over an offense he should have.

  • For as many times as Jim Irsay said UMM already in 5 minutes shows a lack of professionalism already.

    And Choco you make me laugh sometimes you really think he would have his WORST season rofl forgot about the just plain bad teams they mention he goes to, i seen a report he could end up on the Cowboys, Texans, Vikings, Broncos, and the 49'ers

    Cardinals, Miami, Redskins, and Browns.

    If he plays for those first 5 teams listed dont even think hes gonna have a bad year believe that, the last 4 mentioned can be so-so.

    you just make me shake my head. so gullible. i suppose you watched his video and now think he's just fine and will be the peyton we all come to know and respect. other people realize that was a heavily edited promotional video made to put pressure on irsay...

    so the great prognosticator thinks manning can go to a new team and instantly turn them around? you also believed we'd go 11-5 last year (oh yeah, it was a joke, right?). its a better bet to put money down on the opposite of whatever you say....

    I think it'll be one of these teams: Dolphins, Jets, Texans, Titans (wouldnt that be fun?)

    Not sure he'd go to the Redskins but who knows.

    One thing for sure, the Redskins have a ton of cap room to sign him, and bring along a few of his buddies if that's what they need to seal the deal. As our Washington visitor said, it's going to depend on how much say Shanahan has in the matter. If he's committed to building long term, as are the Browns, Manning winds up somewhere else.

    The Browns are committed to their WCO system. Peyton comes with his own offense. That ends that conversation.

    I hope he goes to the NFC, because wherever he goes, he's going to win.

    I know this will probably sound Retarded . But the best thing for Peyton to happen is for the Cardinals to dump Whisenchuck and his egomaniacal personality and hire Peytons OC from tenn thats coaching at Duke. Then let them run the show.

    I understand that Manning and Whisenhut are actually quite close...and that is why the Cardinals may be a prime player for Peyton.

    PEYTON is Hillis, our Hillis, at least for another week.

    I know, Manning had it "first" and is the HOF star, yet for Browns Board purposes he is MANNING. Eli is Eli, just to clarify.

  • I think the main reason he wouldn't come here is because we don't have enough pieces in play to seriously contend. He would make us a legitimate threat over night for the playoffs but that doesn't mean we would even make the playoffs. I think whoever gets him is going to be thrilled because I think Manning is going to take this personal and prove all the naysayers wrong.

    Yea i feel ya on that. Pretty much just watched the guy get shitcanned on national television. U gotta give Payton some credit tho, he handled it as professional as a guy can. I woulda gave Irsay a big F-U, sayin money had nothin to do with it. Money was prolly 95% the reason Payton is unemployed right now.

  • I love how the reations among fans between the Manning situation and the Lebron situation are the polar opposites of eachother.

    Manning got cut. Lebron left as a free agent. You aren't going to see the folks in Indy burning his jersey on the street. You might get the drinking and tears though.

    OK, so what IS the proper spelling of their names.....Is it Payton, or Peyton?

    ....OK, upon further review BOTH Hillis and Manning spell their name with an E, ie. Peyton.

    One has class, the other is a complete ass. If LeBron would have handled the situation the way Manning did, things would be ALOT different.

    Peyton Manning is now the most highly sought after nfl free agent in history i don't need to argue why. Yes he will do good on any fucking team in the NFL all 32. A Proven Captain period. You are a fucking joke to dismiss his entire career and skillset.

  • I don't think there is anyway he goes to an NFC team. It would ruin the chance of an all Manning SB. That is just a gut feeling though.

  • Just to throw another crazy possibility out there. Drew Brees is in a contract dispute with the Saints. New Orleans is Payton Mannings hometown. Payton's only two years older...... Hey crazier things have happened 🙂

    Brees got tagged and he's not happy about it. That's where the dispute comes from. That would be a ridonkulous story though.

    I love how the reactions among fans between the Manning situation and the Lebron situation are the polar opposites of each other.

    1) LeBum wasn't 35 years old coming off of say an ACL tear, and had already won a Championship for the Cavs. You didn't hear a peep from Cleveland fans when Ilgauskas went ring chasing in his last year, and I doubt there was much outcry in Salt Lake City when Karl Malone did the same.

    2) A better analogy would be to assume Larry Bird (French Lick Indiana) had played for the Pacers, not the Celtics. After his rookie contract was up Larry Legend said "adios, I'm taking my talents to LA to play with Magic, gonna win 7-8 championships." You think the folks in Indy wouldn't have been seriously pissed?

    lmao...

    you realize limited mobility in his neck is gonna impact his ability to scan and see the field, right? do you even know what fused vertebrae are? watch him turn his body when talking at the press conference...youre a fool if you think he's gonna be the old manning.

    Exactly...

    He has more of a chance to have a terrible season than he does a great one. He'll be learning a new offense, new players, timing, shaking off rust, and coming back from a FREAKING BONE FUSION IN HIS NECK!

    Yes, he was one of the greatest of the current NFL era.
