Idiot speculates Peyton Manning will be traded Skins. ES falls for it,panic ensues even. IQ points drop like flies

[Mr. Nostril]

Johnny U with the Chargers
Montana with the Chiefs
Joe Namath with the Rams
Brett Favre with the Jets
Emmitt Smith with the Cardinals
Tony Dorsett with the Broncos
Franco Harris with the Seahawks
OJ Simpson with the 49ers
Thurman Thomas with the Dolphins
Jerry Rice with the Seahawks
Art Monk with the Eagles

If Peyton Manning ever plays for someone besides the Colts, he's on this list.

[AKM311]

Says who?

Colts will want and will get a 1st for Manning.

We won't give up this years first, but we will have to give up next years. It is not worth it. Otherwise they will keep Luck on the bench and let Manning get two more year for a ring

I don't want to trade for Manning, but nobody is going to trade a first for an old QB with a possibly career ending neck injury.

Ok, yes neck injury is something to watch.

But if he is fully recovered, someone will give a first. Manning will play until he is 41 (if his neck is truly healthy) and someone will give up a first to get him (if he is available). Remember, Manning is a Colts legend. It will take a lot to pry him away from them.

[paloosa]

It is highly unlikely that this will happen because if the injury is that bad that the Colts are willing to trade himto make room for a Rookie like Luck then that screams a big NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I say only do it if it doesn't affect our draft position or cost too much. I think that Manning is smart enough to know where he wants to go if that were to happen or he will just retire.

Well, both Favre and Montana did great things with the Vikings and Chiefs...Just sayin'

[urblessed00]

I'm so sick of ......................one these stories..and two this team either entertaining such foolishness and worse yet...acting on it. Again,.........stop taking the easy way out,....go draft a qb. Is it a lock? No. But stop pinching off other teams who are givingggggggggggg away their players. This is not 26 year old Peyton Manning. This is not a team that is a qb away from the Super Bowl. It's a team in a rebuild. Does it need a franchise qb? Yes. A young.......rookie.......franchise qb. I'm sick of this team being the posterboy for stupid trades and ideas. Did they learn nothing from their last trade for a mid-30's qb? This is just stupid.

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

Im guessing their is no basis for it, but let me tell you.. if there is truth to this and we decide to go with Manning given his age/neck injuries behind our line then this Allen/Shanahan homer is done being a Allen/Shanahan homer.

It would also make me strongly consider ending my 32 year relationship with the Skins.

Thankfully this is speculation by a talking head and not a rumor with substance, and I agree with everything you said here. I would lose all faith in Shanahan/Allen and could possibly end this 34 year fan's support of this organization.

[Skins199021]

I don't know.... a lot of things would have to be just right for me to want this happen.

1st-Manning is clear to play for about another 4 years, and his neck isn't a problem

2nd- he cost us a 2013 1st round pick and a 2012 3rd or both 2012 4ths ...... I could maybe live with that

3rd- We make sure our O-line is good, hell draft Khalil and then trade our 2nd and something back into the 1st round and draft Decastro

Draft Kellen Moore late in the draft


These are the circumstances that I would require to be OK with a Peyton manning trade lol.....

and people this isn't mcnabb, mcnabb was never on any level close to manning. Not saying Manning would be great, but using mcnabb as a reason not too is kind of silly.

[Bang]

When we are no longer the default "potential suitor" for any player who may be moved, then our culture will have changed.

My bet is there's nothing to this rumor, but when making an assumption about who might make a dumb trade or sign the highest dollar FA on the market the Redskins are always a safe name to write. Even if it's not true at all, the majority of NFL fans will still believe it.

We're the gal with the reputation of being easy.

[SkinsCrushCowboys]

a 50% Manning is better than 100% Rex/Beck..although I cannot imagine this happening.

Why?

[bird_1972]

After the McNabb disaster there is no way the Redskins make this mistake again

As long as Snyder is the owner, there is always the chance the team does something stupid like this.

[NLC1054]

This isn't happening.

Why are people getting bent out of shape on this? It's simply not going to happen. Period. I'll gladly eat my Redskins hat if it does. But it's not going to happen. Why are we linked to Peyton Manning? Because we are linked to EVERYONE.

We were linked to a dozen high priced free agents this season. It later came out that most of that was complete bullcrap, orchestrated by agents to bid up the price of their players. Two weeks before the draft, everyone and their mother swore we were looking to trade the farm to move up and draft Blaine Gabbert. He fell to us, and then we traded down and didn't draft him. Nothing the "experts" have said is going to happen with the Redskins has actually HAPPENED with the Redskins this past season.

Peyton Manning won't come close to being in burgundy and gold. Some other desperate football team will add him, but the season isn't half over. It's an easy story for ESPN to put out there into the ether and know they're going to get a lot of play because our quarterback situation is ass right now.

[ConcordNCSkinsFan]

Would it be too far fetched to think that Snyder would conspire to fire Mike and Bruce, quietly bring Vinny back in the background, hire Cowher and trade for Manning. Of Course Not!

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

Let's think about how the Redskins do business....

How the Redskins used to do business?

We haven't made a stupid deal like that in a while. The McNabb trade is the exception, and he wasn't coming off an injury like this.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

Just like they said every big name was on their way to DC last year??
