Happy2BeHere Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I know it's MANNING and all...but for an unproven player (post major surgery) I'm surprised it's THAT MUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there are other teams.Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjwhiskers Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Manning isn't unproven, if they saw him throw and saw he was healthy they know exactly what he is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton and Eli fan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I know it's MANNING and all...but for an unproven player (post major surgery) I'm surprised it's THAT MUCH!There's lots of waivers concerning his neck to protect the Broncos.

Happy2BeHere Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I beg to differ....he is absolutely unequivocally unproven post surgery....throwing in a planned session and "playing" real football are completely different. How is he going to be under pressure and in real game settings....I'm not saying it's not worth taking the risk I just don't think they needed to pony up that kind of dough for him.

Happy2BeHere Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Agreed OUM.....Again, I am a Colt fan, and I love what Manning did for all of football...I do wish he has success...but I also hope the road to the superbowl comes through Indy and "Luck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil J Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 ok fine. but a decision from the mods on Manning threads being in this forum should be agreed upon soon, and said decision should be pinned. maybe this thread exists and I missed it? link please?

I think this works for both sides.He did give the Colts an out when he signed his 5 yr. contract, he is doing the same thing with the Broncos.Just goes to show you Peyton is not all that unreasonable as some might make him out to be in contract negotiations. I think it is a fair deal for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
