...Via Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Archie Manning said Friday that he saw last December a text-message exchange between his son, Peyton, and Dolphins coach Adam Gase.

“He said, ‘Hey 18, [Ryan] Tannehill went down,'” Archie said. “[Gase] said, ‘I think he’s going to miss some time. The first question I’m going to get at the press conference in the morning is if I’m going to try to bring you to Miami. What do you want me to tell them?'”

It’s a creative way for Gase, Peyton’s offensive coordinator in Denver, to ask Peyton whether he was interested without officially asking him whether he was interested. Regardless, Peyton wasn’t interested.

Crazy

It shows how smart Gase is to toss the idea out there to see if Peyton was interested without making a big deal of it. I must confess that I never even thought about it because Matt Moore was doing a pretty decent job of filling in.

I'm sure Peyton wanted no part of having to drop back to pass behind our OL.

I can't imagine a scenario where it wouldn't have been a disaster....

Just shows how smart Peyton is.

How epic would it have been though if Peyton came back, destroyed the Patriots on our way to the super bowl?!

We can dream

That would have been terrible. Peyton is a shell of himself. I have to think Moore is more capable then the last of Peyton we saw

Lol. What's funny is that some people think Matt Moore is more capable Ryan Tannehill and here Gase is asking for Payton to come back. Hmmmmm......

You can dislike Tannehill but he's legit. Some of his throws last season were the best I've ever seen

Imagine if he did that and led Miami to be SB champs. Talk about completely surreal.

That's the real story not being talked about here and what immediately came to mind when I saw the article on twitter yesterday.

Moore has about as much a chance replacing a healthy Tannehill as I have to having a threesome with my wife and her twin sister...zero.

There is some universe out there where that happened. I want to visit that universe

 

[Vaark]

Appreciate Gase's ability to think outside the box. He's a keeper!

Lol I'm watching the flash right now. All these different universes is freaky.

But I do like the idea of Peyton doing that I just realize how unlikely that is. Peyton was barely a functional backup type the last time he played
