I haven't cared about Drew since he left Purdue but its preferable to Brady. Although it figures the Colts would let this happen to them though...

Well many years later Manning and Champ did end up teammates so funny how that worked out.

It’s been 30 years since the infamous Herschel Walker trade
In October 1989, the Vikings thought they were a quality running back away from a Super Bowl. So they placed the most all in of all all-in bets, and it helped deliver not one but three Super Bowls.
But not for the Vikings.
Thirty years ago today, Minnesota traded three first-round picks, three second-round picks, and a bunch of other stuff to get running back Herschel Walker.
Three days later, he’d explode for 148 yards on only 18 carries and one lost shoe in his debut, a 26-14 win over the Packers. And then Walker didn’t have another 100-yard game for the Vikings until Week Two of the 1991 season.
He’d stay in Minnesota through 1991, before being released.
By then, the Cowboys had laid the foundation — thanks to all those extra picks — for the team that would make it to the playoffs in 1991 (Minnesota did not), and that would win the Super Bowl to cap the 1992, 1993, and 1995 seasons. I
n the next draft after trading Walker, the Cowboys selected a guy named Emmitt Smith, who’d become the all-time leading rusher before his retirement. Walker is 43rd on the list.
The trade for Walker remains at the top of the list of worst NFL trades ever, and 30 years later it’s a record that may never be broken. Although Washington has tried (RGIII), and surely will try again.-

So you think CB would agree to have him back without some form of due dilligence?
None of us know the real storyline behind his retirement, so I would trust CB and Irsay to make the right decision.
But as you say, it is not going to happen, so moot.
Its not up to CB its really up to Irsay Jim would take him back no questions asked. I think CB OTOH would be far more hesitant.

Saying no? Indignant business decisions fulled by sour grapes is not how you run an organisation.
Neither is hitching your horseshoe to someone who would want to come back to the team after he quit on you two weeks before the season began with very little explanation as to why. How could you ever trust someone who did that? He could easily leave your team high and dry again. Either you're all in or not when it comes to the NFL. Andrew isn't and that's fine but the Colts need people who want to be there. Jacoby may not be as talented but he's all in and effective at the job for that alone I would take him over Andrew Luck to QB this team.
This game is not only physical its mental too talent only goes so far.
That being said I don't see this scenario happening so its a moot point.
-
I think he's just visiting old friends nothing more.
Oh and if he wanted to come out of retirement to return to the Colts I hope they tell him no.
-
Seeing the Jags come back makes that loss to the Raiders that much worse that being said since the division is mediocre I still lean towards the Texans.
-
Wow I wonder how old some of you are some of us lived through really awful QBs before Manning came along.
Jacoby isn't even close to being that bad. I don't see him as a long term franchise QB or a game changer like Mahomes but we should stick with him.

When someone said this looked like a backdrop of a Sears photo department they weren't joking...

Outrage? What are you even talking about?
People acting disappointed that he isn't going to his own HOF induction. How if they knew he would snub the process they wouldn't have let him in? Why does it matter? He's in everything else is just fluff.

This is not unknown to him either. It was unveiled back then his 'disruptive' behavior was the influence in the decision to pass on first ballot. Yes, the HOF considers the locker room part of the playing field. Once in the parking lot and beyond, behavior is off limits as far as HOF voting.
Now new revelations have come to pass. For those that finally voted T.O. in, it is revealed some would not have done so if they knew he would shun the ceremony. It's too late now, he is in; he is a HOF Gold Jacket member. But T.O. possibly could have had an even longer wait. He is fortunate in certain ways.
They just proved him right its about personal grudges not actual ability that kills the credibility above all else.

You speak of laughable? That is Owens and his selfish personality.
He's all those things this is nothing new. People wanted him to go away. He is and suddenly faux outrage is in effect?
Him not coming to the HOF ceremony isn't going to hurt anyone but himself. So what's the problem?
He didn't grovel enough for people?

It's not like he was the only one who had to wait to get into the HOF. They had a back log of receivers going into the HOF so he had to wait. Now he is acting like a child over it?
TO- "I will just show them. I will take my ball and go home".
Except the reason why they wanted him to wait had nothing to do with his on the field production.
It would be one thing if they thought he was a borderline HOFer because of his talent but no they kept him out of spite.
Rather hard to take this honor seriously if the media is going to let petty grudges get in the way. I mean if it was about "character" etc then Ray Lewis and Randy Moss shouldn't be first ballot HOFers but they are.
I think T.O. is a narcissist so are the media expecting him to act grateful to them for something he earned on his own merits.
They wanted him to go away he's doing so and now they're still complaining?
Just seems rather laughable.

I’m trying to think of an NFL player whose HoF speech I’d be less interested in....
Ray Lewis's speech will be even longer.
-
I'm not bothered by this. They took forever to induct him when he should've gone years ago.
Apparently he has to be grateful they considered him for the HOF despite the fact that it was his accomplishments that got him there. Why be around fake people if you don't want to?
Besides between Ray Lewis and Randy Moss's induction speeches alone nobody would really notice T.O. he knows this.
It might make the HOF ceremony a bit shorter now.

Peyton sounds nothing but happy..Sounds like he wants to play on the Seniors Golf Tour in a few years.
I thought he was walking a little funny..I hope the old hip is okay.
But he seems good..I was surprised to hear him say he talked with Andrew Luck for a couple of hours at the combine in Indianapolis. Thursday, he was at Broncos practice talking to the new Denver players and his old teammates with DeMarcus Ware,
Case Keenum says, he's called Peyton more than once to talk to him about coming in as a free agent QB in Denver and that Peyton has helped him on a few things.
BREAKING NEWS: Peyton is a good guy.
Before SB 50 Manning mentioned that his doctor told him a couple years earlier he would need a hip replacement later on in life so that's why he's walking funny.
To answer your other question its possible he just likes Denver he seems happy being there despite only playing 4 years there. I wish he could've played as long as Brady probably will but that neck injury shortened his career sadly. His body told him to leave the game. I'm glad he listened. I'm sure he's glad too considering how dysfunctional the NFL has become after his retirement.

Eh while I do miss Manning I don't miss how one sided Manning vs Brady was either.

Aaron Rodgers buys stake in Milwaukee Bucks
When the inevitable comparisons happen in July between no-name NBA players who make millions more as free agents than star players in the NFL, one star player in the NFL will have a unique perspective on the issue.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has become one of the owners of one of the teams that will be giving those huge contracts to mid-level pro basketball players. Specifically, Rodgers has become a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks.
“I have proudly called Wisconsin my home for the past 13 years, and I am thankful for the friendships and the opportunities I have been given to live and play here,” Rodgers in a statement released by the Bucks, via ESPN.com. “I am excited and honored to deepen my connection to the region by joining Wes Edens, Marc Lasry, Jamie Dinan, Mike Fascitelli and the ownership group of the Milwaukee Bucks. As a huge fan of the NBA and the sport of basketball, this is a dream come true for me, and I look forward to furthering my affinity for Wisconsin sports as a minority owner in a team I love and support.”
At a time when friction reportedly has emerged between Rodgers and Wisconsin’s only NFL team, his decision to buy a piece of Wisconsin’s only NBA team coupled with a statement in which he reconfirms his commitment to Wisconsin makes it clear that, if he ever leaves the Packers, it won’t be his decision.
The comments also could get more Packers fans behind Rodgers in the slowly-simmering back-and-forth that ultimately flows from the team’s failure to address a contract that has Rodgers woefully underpaid in comparison to other quarterbacks — specifically in his own division, where Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins makes $28 million per year and Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford earns $27 million annually. Rodgers, at $22 million per year, has accomplished more than both of them, combined.
Indeed, Cousins and Stafford have combined for zero career postseason wins.
While this transaction likely won’t be the catalyst for Rodgers getting the $30 million per year that he deserves, it’s definitely a factor to consider at a time when player and team occupy an awkward posture as he enters the final years of his career. If he ends up finishing that career elsewhere, he’s doing what he can to make it very difficult for any Packers fans to blame him for it. -
Oddly enough I was thinking about him the other day wondering whether he would retire or not.
The fact he would do it as a Colt is a bit surprising given how Pagano and Grigson dumped him. And he went to a bunch of other teams afterwards but his career was best here obviously.

A Good signing by Ravens. Even if it doesn't workout didn't cost much. I wish him well.
But, whoever thought with all the hype that Luck & RG3 got that Russell Wilson would be having the much better career? And then there's Cousins.
You just never know.
Which is why the RG3 vs Luck debate around this fanbase is laughable to me for this reason. Now if Luck comes back and wins an SB then you have something if not Russell Wilson will be remembered as the one with the better career.

As a backup I think this is a good move for them.
Its only for a year and unlike Kaepernick no media circus will be involved.

"Well he was fired from the Colts". Actually that isn't true. Irsay paid him 26 Million dollars in 2011 and Peyton didn't even play a down to earn that. Had Irsay put him on IR, Peyton wouldn't of got paid 26 Mill did you even realize that. He kept him active so he would get paid! Many people probably don't even know that. Yeah Irsay is a horrible guy for paying someone 26 Mill who didn't even play?? So are you saying we should've re-signed Peyton with the uncertainties of his neck injury at the time and pass on Luck? Even had we done that, with the Defense we had, Peyton couldn't of won us another SB. Our O.Line was Bad too. We had to let him walk to try and rebuild because of the Salary Cap. We needed that money to add players. Denver had a Great Defense and a Great O.Line so we did Peyton a favor.
But he got cut from the Colts is my point when a player is cut = fired.
He didn't choose to retire or leave as an FA(or even demand a trade). The Colts let him go. Like they did with so many other players before him and well after.
This isn't about whether he should've been cut or not.
Manning isn't going to put himself in a position where he doesn't decide when he can leave or not. If he took a broadcasting job he wouldn't have that choice compared to ownership.

No such job exists.
But I can't imagine Manning ever being fired from a job, or owning a business and running it into the ground, or messing up an endorsement deal, etc.
I'd wish him the best of luck, but he don't need it!
Well he was fired from the Colts.
But if he owned a team(even partially) he wouldn't be fired he could be his own boss etc is what I meant.
-
I can't picture Manning taking any job where he could possibly be fired.

Thanks for posting I forgot some of these guys were ever on the Colts.
Also that Marcus Pollard caught 35 TD's from Manning
My opinion: If the Patriots move on from Brady and he hits FA, we have to be in on that.

He's going to be 43 years old and is already spent as a QB. This team has more issues going for them than the QB whether people want to admit it or not.
What could Brady possibly offer at this point in his career beyond his past glory?
Nothing.
A better stop gap QB would be Andy Dalton if the Colts wanted to go there but I rather have Jacoby finish is contract and draft a QB and start over.
