Manning Sweepstakes


SubZero

Recommended Posts

So if you guys didnt know the Manning sweepstakes went down from 4 teams to 3. Ken Wisenhunt reported that he will pull out of the Manning sweepstakes and pay Kevin Kolb. The Dolphins also decided to pull out of the race. Now that the Broncos and Titans are closing in a suprise dark horse team came out of no where. The 49ers have saw him work out and are very interested. If your wondering where i got this info its from NFL Network and Bleacher Report.

I really hope he goes to the 49ers.

Cant....he could meet his brother Eli in the 1st round of the playoffs...

Could be Tennessee..Could be Denver..

SF wont happen

BURN THE WITCH!

lol...........how long you figure it'll take for us to detox from too much Manning in our system for all these years?

I hope sooner rather than later. ;)

For some, I think never, even if Luck turns out to be better than Manning. :hide:

Yes, I know, no one can replace Peyton. :worthy:

I thought the 49'ers were outsiders in the process. However, today around 5 PM it was reported (msn.com) that Alex Smith was in Miami speaking with the Dolphins today.

Things that make you go hmmm!

I think Alex Smith got bad advice from his agent Tom Condon, in refusing the 49ers' offer early on.

Given Smith's reluctance to accept the 49er offer, who can blame them by pursuing PM?

I think Alex Smith was poorly served by his agent, who also happens to be PM's agent.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
