Manning may have something left in the tank and he would be a definite upgrade at the positon. But he is going to be coming here and by the time the season starts he will be pushing 37 yrs old. On top of that he is coming off a major neck injury. Couple that with the fact that he is going to want major sums of cap space, that is my main objection with him coming to the organization.
If he were to come here and play for a reasonable amount of money, that would be one thing. But you know he is going to want , at least, 9-10 mil./year. I think we would be better off riding Moore and grooming a young QB behind him.

Tell me, do you think he would have a better record in the playoffs playing for the colts or Patriots? The talent that has been on that team (especially the defense) has been horrid. Everyone knows he is going to throw the ball because he always knew that his defense wasn't the best. The year the colts defense actually showed up in the playoffs they ended up winning it all. Here's a fun fact, in the years that the Patriots won their Super Bowls their defense only gave up 13.5 points a game and averaged 3 turnovers a game. In the playoffs...
The dolphins may not have a defense like the Patriots did in their dynasty years but it is certainly better than what the colts have ever had. If a healthy Manning comes to Miami, we would be instant contenders.
