Hurt? I've said the same thing before. The only thing I wonder about is whether Rivers would have been able to win against NE in 07 or even win in Green Bay. I'm not sure. And I can't stand Rivers, but I have no reason to think that either Rivers, or Brady, would make the Giants a worse team. I just happen to think Eli is a little better than both. he does better under up the middle pressure and has a better arm (and I mean he can throw a fade route, something I've never seen Brady do).
And no Peyton is still better than Brees and Rodgers, because of how he runs the offense. Brees and Rodgers are great warriors, but not generals, and to guarantee success you'd need them to play along side their respective offensive genius coaches and great play-makers. We saw Drew for years before Sean Payton; hardly a best in the league argument for Drew, and Matt Flynn can come in for week 17 and break a Packers record under the McCarthy system.
Either Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Rivers or Eli, could have came in for this years Colts and they'd be max 6-10, and minimum of 10-6 with Peyton. Now if any of those QBs came in with OCs like Norv Turner, or Sean Payton then that'd be a different story. But as stand alone players there's Peyton Manning and then there is everybody else.
I want it on record right given the possibility than Peyton ends up in a place like Seattle. If Peyton goes there and a new system is too much for him or whatever and they still either don't make the playoffs get bumped in the divisional then I will put on my sig forever "Peyton Manning does have what it takes to be Tom Brady", but if he ends up with a ring in year one or two with the Seahawks then I want eaxh of you to write in your sigs "Peter was right, I was wrong. Peyton is hands down the best ever!" in your sigs.
Deal?
And if the Seahawks go 19-0 then I want each you to come to my house and suck my dick at the same fucking time.

^ Jesus christ man, take it down a notch. But if he were healthy I'd love to have Manning on our team for the right price, assuming we resign Lynch we're only a franchise QB away from being a contender.

Then we'll be cheering for the same team next year. I actually like the idea of Seattle for two reasons 1) it's a solid team all around and has an exceptional home field crowd, and 2) it's such an off the radar team that if they end up going 12-4 or better it makes Peyton look like a saviour. In reality you're right, it's a very decently built team that just needs a couple places to improve and become a real contender. It's definitely a better built team than Indy.
Nothing in the history of Football would please me more than 4 more years of Manning dominating the league, a couple Seahawks rings, and Indianapolis doing so bad Irsay ends up selling it the Colts move to LA.
Lunatic:
Manning will want to play for the Titans if he leaves the Colts but we won't want him probably :P
He has a house in Tennessee, went to College there and would get to play the Colts twice a year.

Depending on the price I don't see how you don't take him. Locker would do great learning under neath him for 3 years. hell, Peyt could go from QB to QB coach right after he retires and that's a win/win for everyone. Though, Peyton's other home could be something if the unthinkable happens and Brees ends up taking one last big payday. I mean Brees because of his health and coachability would easily be able to bring in the biggest contract from other teams. How much would the Redskins, Jets, or Cowboys be willing to pay for Drew Brees. Quite a bit more than they'd pay for a "maybe he's not healthy" Peyton Manning.
And if that HUGE if that Brees doesn't re-sign with the Saints happens then how can you not make the play for Peyton? Especially with the Superbowl in the SuperDome. They'd win the #1 seed and the whole playoffs would be in Louisiana. The NFL would almost insist. And the refs would try like the devil make sure it's Manning vs Brady. With Manning vs Manning in the NFC Championship game.
