Per Rotowrold: Fins "lead dog" for Wallace

The Manning to Miami was all media and fan driven. In addition to what Nubs wrote, the WCO was also a player in his reasoning not to be serious with Miami talks. This was not a case of Ireland not being able to close it was Manning not being interested.

The dolphins esp Ross wanted Manning but really why would we be that appealing to a vet like manning
 
Well the Dolphins did say that Wallace was their main target come FA so I'm not surprised.
 
I would think he likes the fact that Florida doesn't have state pay roll taxes.

It doesn't mean the interest was mutual. There was no meeting with Manning until the Titans and Broncos were seen as the leader and then, it was only Philbin. Because Manning owned a house in South Beach, his wife loving the area and the Phins needing a QB, speculation spun way out of control about the certain marriage.

The only gaffe that I see Ireland made was with Dez Bryant and Ryan Clark and with Clark, we only know his version of events. There is ALWAYS two sides to every story.
 
Manning wanted to play in the cold weather during the playoffs coming off of serious neck surgeries. I think this is a different situation.

I think Manning honestly thought cold weather wouldn't effect him. But in all fairness that was a brutally cold day. Let's not forget that he has a losing record in the playoffs. Not the same QB in Jan as he is Sep - Dec.

I dont think he is not the same its just that teams step up in playoffs and sometimes they are able to stop the run better or mess with line better. For some reason when Atlanta gets in playoffs they cant run the damn ball
