^Oh, just that he could start anywhere? Well, yeah. Obviously. But the Panthers aren't going to bench 22 year old Cam Newton for 30-something year old, 15 years in the league, Peyton Manning just because for two season he would be a better QB than Cam. Then in two seasons be like "Cam, we want you to start again..".

Exactly, despite what shallow thinks not every team in the league wants Peyton manning and many, I'd wager at least half the league would flat out refuse him. He's 36 years old, coming off a year of missed football and three surgeries. No sane person benches franchise qbs for a rental player at the end of his career.

He has to go to a team with no young franchise QB like Washington or Seattle

Yep, and even so nothing is garaunteed in football. Look at the packers this season or the pats in 2007 or countless other examples. No matter how many times shallow you write Peyton with (insert team here) would have rings! It doesn't make it true, any team can lose any game. Like I've said all your arguments are conjecture with no basis in reality. It's like reading a nerd playing dungeons and dragons.

You're right, there is no garaunteed rings in the NFL, or any sport. Mike Tyson beats James Buster Douglas 99 out of 100 times, but the world got to see that 1 out of 100, and no one thought was going to happen.
There are plenty of examples of one thing going the other way in a game and entire histories change. If in 01 Brady's fumble remains a fumble, or if he stayed injured after the AFC Title game and the Pats won anyway. Would it have been Brady instead of Bledsoe being traded to Buffalo?
If Eli escaping the pass rush gets called an "in the clutches" sack and they don't convert on 4th and 15 then NE gets to be called 19-0. But if Rex didn't call the time out in week 13 or 14 then they would have lost against Baltimore, but may very have won the SB because of that loss. Who knows?
If Nick Harper takes Jerome Betti's fumble to the outside and score and the Colts go on to beat the Broncos and Seahawks, do they win the next year too? Maybe not.
If Dwight Clark misses that catch and the next year the 9ers do the same 3-6 or worse in the shortened season do they draft a QB (Elway, Marino, or Kelly) to replace Montana? Very probable.
If Peyton Manning goes to the Jets next year does that guarantee a ring? No, but my theory is that he'd have 3 or 4 right now if he was on a team that was great with out him, and I'd like to see how my theory stands up. He has to win at least 1 ring in the next three years for my theory to still stand, 2 or 3 would prove outright. I mean if hypothetically he goes to the Ravens and they 3-peat then there is no question in my they would have won at least 2 or 3 in the last 10 years with Manning.
