He can't throw the ball across his body, because he doesn't feel it. People that catch the ball for him, say he doesn't really have velocity on the ball yet."

Peyton as a Seahawk is certainly an interesting concept. Aside from his health, I think the biggest risk would be how well he could adjust to the major culture change. That is, would his ego allow him to go from a team where he was the unquestioned, undisputed leader in virtually all facets of the organization, to Caroll's "everyone competes for his job" philosophy? I just don't know, but it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012469417215497172.post-3910676617915274452012-02-08T00:13:20.397-08:002012-02-08T00:13:20.397-08:00I honestly think Manning will end up somewhere tha...I honestly think Manning will end up somewhere that no one expects. I can tell you where Peyton Manning won't be going. He won't be going to the Redskins to play against his brother twice a year. He felt really bad the last time they played and he torched Eli's team. I even have my doubts about him even playing in the same conference as Eli. That being said, if he did then lets look at the options being thrown around. Arizona is spot I keep hearing about. It's indoors and they got Larry Fitzgerald. Eveveryone seems to have forgotten the ransom the Cardinals already gave up for Kevin Kolb and I do believe Kolb is getting paid pretty well too. So I'm not so sure that deal would work out as well as people would think. Why not Minnisota if it has to be warm or indoors? Christian Ponder isn't so hot and isn't getting paid that much. Jacksonville is another possiblilty if your looking at a warm climate team. These teams have cap space as well. I think Peyton would consider Seattle if he didn't mind playing outdoors actually. It's not that cold in Seattle and he has played in cold before. I keep hearing about San Francisco and that could be since Alex Smith's contract is up this year but I don't know how their doing with cap room. They have a few big names and there may not be enough room. They say Manning may be lured to the West cause its so winnable but everyone knows what a crap shoot the NFL is from year to year. The Niners, Seahawks and Cards actually aren't all that bad and the Rams are about to be healthy again with a better coach which really makes the competition stiff in the West. Peyton will be sure to consider all avenue's when deciding where he want's to go. A lot of variable will have to come into play like having a competitive team, getting paid, being in the right division in the right location with the right coach's and right venue, etc, ect. I don't even know if the Manning family likes the West at all or the West Coast offense. You also have to consider how rusty he might be coming off a one year lay off and learning a new offense. Granted Peyton is as smart a quarterback as they come but he may not be up for learning an entirely new offense. Heck that's the number one reason why Brett Favre left New York to play in Minnesota. They ran the same type of offense he was used to and you could see it in his play. I think Peyton want's to be in more of a spread type offense instead of a ground and pound offense. That eliminates teams like the Jets and San Francisco and Baltimore even. I don't think these coach's are going to change their playbook for Manning. Manning needs a coach he can push around. Not a coach who want's to be in charge. With that said I think he would sell a lot of Seattle jersey's....lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012469417215497172.post-42326833888352219012012-02-07T18:18:59.172-08:002012-02-07T18:18:59.172-08:00Brock chimes in.

The downside isn't small, but the upside is him bringing the town's first NFL/MLB title back in the next couple years.<br /><br />If you believe the sources that cited interest in Carson Palmer, then it would be silly to think Seattle would avoid Manning because of age (or injury). Could this be why Seattle seems so focused on non-1st round QBs this year? Is it possible that Manning is a major part of their pre-draft plan? Somehow, deep down, I don't think it will happen, but I'm dying to find out.Kip Earlywinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012469417215497172.post-85688991379409770482012-01-28T03:25:20.880-08:002012-01-28T03:25:20.880-08:00Great stuff Brandon.

With Andrew Luck available and a poison pill bonus for Peyton, it's over.<br /><br />Why not? We're building a young team. PC believes that guys can now play in their rookie years. Unless Peyton's health looks great and the price is reasonable, our front office bails on the deal.<br /><br />Why could I be wrong? Because with our running game and defense, Peyton would kill in our division. Let's see... Smith, Kolb, Bradford, Manning. Obvious.<br /><br />Another reason I could be wrong is that the front office doesn't like anybody at #11/12 this year and doesn't expect us to get a top pick next year either. That means we develop low draft picks and pray. In the meantime, we have games to win!<br /><br />But for this to happen, it has to be a deal we can't refuse.
