RuntheDamnBall Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 No thank you. To old his time is overit sure looked that way. The believer will say that he had a torn leg muscle. But 39 is 39, unless you're Tom Brady, in which case it means you've got another 10 seasons in you.

The pros and cons of 8 destinations http://wp.me/p14QSB-9Gra "1. The Bills. Pros: Potential championship-caliber defense, receiver Sammy Watkins, Rex Ryan at coach, deep-pocketed ownership that seems to be committed to winning, passionate fan base. Cons: Direct competition with the Patriots and Tom Brady, possibly multiple bad-weather home games." Cons: Put your health in the hands of our offensive line. Retire or be retired? Hmmmm.
respk Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Manning might be able to get the Bills to the playoffs next season, but I'm not sure bringing him in would be a good idea. At most your getting 1-2 years out of him and I think that just postpones the inevitable. Pick a couple of FAs and a draft choice, add in Manuel and pick the best one after training camp. Yes the Bills need to win now but they really need to find a long term solution at QB. Bringing in Manning just takes resources away from finding that long term solution.
Jerry Jabber Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 The big worry is that with the Bills not having a 1st round pick, and the FA market for QB's is not the best. Manning would be a great stop gap QB for one to two years, who has the potential of taking the Bills to the Superbowl.

We would be a playoff team, but it would most likely be a one and done kind of deal. My biggest question would be, is he finally willing to play any kind of a mentor role? Cause him showing EJ how it's really done could be as valuable to me as him getting us to the playoffs for a year. Edited January 13, 2015 by Captain Caveman
Kelly the Dog Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That is what Rex Ryan does. Puts the Bills on the map. I know it's just PFT. And ultimately the media means little here. But Manning would consider the Bills, and maybe right at or near the top of his list, because of Rex Ryan, with the Pegulas playing a big role in it. Oh, and the Sammy Watkins trade. If Rex isn't here, I think we are 6-7 on that list.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Manning won't come to Buffalo. I'm 99.9999999999999999% sure of it
TheFunPolice Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 ESPN sent a reporter to Buffalo yesterday to cover the press conference... Rex to the Bills is a big deal. As for Manning, I love him but I think he goes back to Denver or retires. I bet he comes back to Denver.
Clockwork Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 To me, it's a no brainer. If he's available, you have to take a look. He's Peyton freaking Manning
Pete Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 How about we add Peyton and Adrian Peterson ? Talk about a big mother!@#$ing splash!
jletha Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 He is Peyton Freaking Manning. He looked "old" towards the end of the year and int he playoffs for sure but we now know he was injured for at least part of it. His team earned a first round bye. 2013 was maybe his best year ever and he started this year right where he left off from that. He only got bad at the end and you dont decline from old age in 4 months. He has at least another good year in him and this defense we have will only be together as is for 1-2 years. If Manning comes available we have to do whatever it takes. Windows in the NFL close extremely fast and we need to take advantage when we can. Passing on Manning for the "future" when nothing about the future is guaranteed would be a mistake. What is guaranteed is this defense being good next year and we are a good QB away from making a superbowl run, Manning can certainly be that QB. Make it happen.
Bills of Boston Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I remember when this was discussed when he left the Colts and when the Bills were mentioned in the pecking order the response in the article was... "LOL" things are trending up!
Deranged Rhino Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 If we are going to roll the dice on an injured QB with an unknown future, I'd much rather roll the dice on Bradford than Manning.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 If we are going to roll the dice on an injured QB with an unknown future, I'd much rather roll the dice on Bradford than Manning. Agree with this! Jeez Manning looked crappy before the injury. People figured out he can't throw more than 10 yards with any authority. He now faces a crowded underneath-Not good!
Captain Caveman Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 To me, it's a no brainer. If he's available, you have to take a look. He's Peyton freaking Manning Hey, what the hell? I'm Spartacus. How about we add Peyton and Adrian Peterson ? Talk about a big mother!@#$ing splash! All in this year? Would be awesome.
BuffaloPride Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Geez people. He threw for 4700 yds and 39 tds. Not bad for an old man. It probably won't happen but if the opportunity is there you take it.
filthymcnasty08 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 This just in: Kyle Orton gives blessing to Peyton to wear #18.

ddaryl Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Peyton in Buffalo for a year a or 2 would be pretty damn awesome. just get us over the hump till 2016 when we have a 1srt rd pick again. Not to mention what EJ could learn from Peyton
