presto123 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm not saying it is going to happen. Like I said, getting WAAAY ahead of things. I was thinking about it more from an irony standpoint. The '72 Dolphins are notorious for popping champagne every year when the last undefeated team finally loses. It would be somewhat ironic if Peyton went to Miami and finally pulled off the 19-0 season that nobody has been able to achieve......especially after what happened in Indy. That would be bizarre for sure. I thought sure the Pats had done it before Eli spoiled their fun:) Way to go Eli! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Miami is the best choice for Peyton.- Good receiving core, he'll make Bess and Hartline good. Marshall is already great.- Bush just had a 1000 yard season.- Their O-line is getting good and with a new RT could be great.- Their defense was very good (top 10), but I don't like this switch to 4-3. D still should be pretty good. Good special teams too.- New coaching staff, but they should come through. - A great retirement place for PM... everyone retires in Florida!They also have a good amount of cap room left and should be able to sign him with no problems.

Andy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Irsay respects the talent too. If it was just based on talent, Manning wouldn't go anywhere. Miami also has more cap space, a younger team, a better O-line, and a better defense. They are a good QB (and arguably some good coaching depending on how Philbin turns out) away from being a contenderNo they don't. Matt Moore was sacked 10% of the time he dropped back to pass this year. Will it be good? Probably, but right now it is not. Marc Columbo is terrible and he needs to go. Once they replace him with someone good, then they'll be a good O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manningstheman Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ok.... there are only a few teams in the AFC that Peyton will go too. He will not go to a NFC team. He Played two SB in MIami. I think that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, but no one on our current offensive line has the talent to match up with Jake LongTrue, but one player does not make a line. That O-line is still terrible whether he's on it or not. They need to make changes to the right side of that line to be considered good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yep, that's true. Still, they have more pieces in place than we doI don't know about that. I say it's about the same. They have their left tackle of the future. We have two (obviously not as good) good tackles/potential guard in Ijalana and Castonzo. Both players have tons of potential. Both teams have short term solutions at left guard, us in Reitz and the Dolphins have Incognito. Both teams have good players at center, we have Saturday (I think he stays) and they have Pouncey. Pouncey is 15 years younger though. They have no right guard and the Colts have Diem or Pollak or Ijalana. I say it's about the same. Plus the Colts have this year's draft to improve the line and the same with the Dolphins. Like I said, if the DOlphins can fix the right side of their line, then they have a good line that is better than the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peytonator Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I wonder if he'll have an epic 'Decision' show on ESPN.Peyton - 'After talking to my old friend Lebron, I've decided to take my talents to Long Beach......along with Reggie Wayne, Mario Williams, and Carl Nicks.'

Remember, the Colts have the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Probably nothing too big, probably just the Dolphins owner being supportive and asking him some questions about joining Miami. I personally think that Peyton will not sign right away and will wait maybe a month or two before he comes up with something. The Dolphins guy is probably saying that we would like to have you on the Dolphins, and maybe threw out a couple of numbers. Nothing too serious (yet).

The Peytonator Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm not sold on the Dolphins defense, especially moving to a 4-3. They may have DTs in Starks and Odrick. I like Wake a lot better as a standup rusher than a down lineman. Their MLBs might be alright but I don't know who would play WILL. They have good CBs that play aggressively and force turnovers, something we don't have here, but their Safety play leaves something to be desired. Other than Wake I don't know who they have to rush the passer, and since Soliai and Langford will be leaving that leaves a pretty big hole in run defense. They could really have a hard time defensively.On offense though, Peyton has shown he doesn't need much help. If Reggie went there with him that offense would be very strong with Marshall, Wayne, Bess, and Hartline. Fasano would probably have a 1,000 yard season as a Peyton Manning Tight End. If that Oline can open holes for Bush they might be just about unstoppable on offense. The only glaring weakness I see is Colombo at RT....but he can't be any worse than Linkenbach.

subvet Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think you guys are over-rating the Dolphins.

OldManP Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think Denver is a good fit. If they can make the playoffs with Tebow at QB, just think what they could do with a functional offense. Plus, they don't have an established QB to displace. I think the people in charge of the team realize that Tebow is not the long-term answer.You are acting like it is a given that Manning's neck will heal and then hold up. That he will step right in as if it were 2006-07 again. He was declining before the injury, he will never be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
