even with the connection with haslam, does that mean it would behis #1 choice?
what do you know about his connection with univ of tennessee?
just cuz you play golf with someone doesn't mean you want to work for them.

Manning has be playing with a torn quad since mid-December which was killing his long ball accuracy. DC's were onto it and planned accordingly. Manning's return will depend on his rehab. I suspect. Or at 39 (in March) he may just hang it up and move on to Pizza and/or insurance sales or something. Oh wait........................

Dear Haslam,
Clean house now.

Do it now.... Do it.
You have it mostly right- except Pettine isn't going anywhere.

I duly noted he couldn't pass deep with any accuracy. Injury or not- he should probably retire. The only reason I could see him coming back is beating out Farve for all time yardage- which barring injury, he'd be a lock to do in 2015.
Those who want Peyton quarterbacking the Browns aren't listening to Haslam's mantra. Long term success doesn't entail having a 39 year old quarterback running the show. If they can find him a front office job- no problem with that. Thing is, Manning already has enough money he can do whatever he wants when he retires. Might just want to get into broadcasting, or keep on doing Papa John's commercials.

I just have this image in my mind of Manning just literally taking a snap, standing still, basically playing flag football, behind our awesome OL, leading receivers to not get them injured, just marching down the field like "seriously Brian, you couldn't get this team in the playoffs? LOL"

I thought you were trolling with that awesome OL comment...but then it appears you weren't. I'm confused. You really think our line as is wouldn't get him killed? We don't know what Mack is going to be like next season coming off the injury, but even with him 100% Manning would have to check down to his right on every play to make sure some edge guy isn't coming free for his old ass. I'd love me some Peyton Manning in Cleveland but we'd have to make an invest in that right side of the line.

you all are so sure manning would just accept an OC position like he's been dreaming of it for years. maybe he'd like to take some time off? maybe his heartstrings are still in TN?
i mean talking about making shit up.
is there one line of text from any substantiated report, any twat tweet, anything to even suggest what you bozos are suggesting?

I was reading where his contract with Denver had not guarenteed money, so that if they cut him they save his salary/cap space. Not that I am suggesting PM come here as a QB or as a QB/Coach on the field.
As to Mik's post. Yes. Who knows what he is thinking, and from post game interviews he is contemplating his future as an NFL player. I am sure that Elway is prodding Peyton so that he know's what course he (Elway) will take.

But I am suggesting exactly that. Especially if it could be for a low salary cap figure.

Fairly? He'd better start off in prefect health. Even then Manning is beyond the age where staying "fairly healthy" thru an NFL season is likely.
No 39 year old QB is going to be in "perfect health". I assume he could recover from his torn squad by training camp...and be close to 100% as a 39 year old QB can be.
As for JM sitting and learning... what gives you any hope the latter would happen?
Because he is a reasonably bright....though immature person. Plus, we are stuck with him and his contract. But I also say that he should not be the only dog in the hunt. You might also have Connor Shaw, and maybe another somewhat veteran guy off the street. See the FA QB thread.

My point was he can come into a season healthy, but he is beyond surviving an NFL season.

Not trolling. With Mack, we had a top 5 OL - I'm not sure why all the Schwartz hate? He's no JT, but he is far from terrible.

Why would manning want to mentor that douche? Mannings kicked him out of their program not too long ago.

We were down to our third stringer this year due to injuries to much younger men. The possibility of a Browns QB getting injured is just a fact of life, be it a 39 year old Peyton or a 22 year old like JFF and Shaw.

No, they pooped in his Cap'n Crunch.

Probably- but for how long? Willing to settle for one and done in the Playoffs? Elway apparently isn't.
Like I said....you go into it knowing that it is a transition period.......like with Gary Danielson and BK.....except we gotta figure out who our BK is.

Because maybe he would like to have a legacy as a mentor.....and because JH asks him to.

Fool me once fool me twice my man. The only thing consistent that this kid wants to excel at is partying. He's been a let down time and time again.
I'd understand wanting to give time to someone who's made mistakes if they at least have an upside. But this kid hasn't shown an ounce of an NFL qb. Yet the same stupid mistakes continue.
Who wants to hitch their wagon to that?
-
Didn't JFF go to the Manning QB camp and then get sent home early for missing meetings????......It makes me wonder what Peytons honest opinion of him is?
Im sure, after his amazing career and ALL the options that will be presented to him, hitching his wagon to Manziel and the Browns wont be at the top of his list.....just a hunch

there were a couple instances early in the season before Mack went down where a DL basically followed Hoyer into the backfield for a stop and chat at the handoff. Plenty of guys came flying around that right side all season long, it wasn't good. I'm willing to give that right side one more year but we need their backups/replacements on the roster by the start of TC. We can't wing it anymore and just hope for the best.
