I won't be angry if he became our GM....but it's a gamble
Any hire is a gamble.

He has no connection to the team
and no experience as a GM. Completely terrible idea.
Dubbing Peyton Manning "a football nerd," ESPN analyst Bill Polian said Wednesday that the Denver Broncos quarterback — should he decide to retire — could immediately step in as general manager of an NFL team.
The proof for Polian comes in the 14 years he and Manning spent together with the Indianapolis Colts, the team's former president said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
"During our 14 years together in Indianapolis, he would often discuss with me prospects coming out in the draft, SEC players he’d seen, players he’d seen in other parts of the country," said Polian. "He pays close attention to the rosters of the other (teams) in the league, with specific attention to the AFC."
Polian went on to say: "He knew the strengths and weaknesses of every player on every defense in the AFC and many on offense, because he met them and got to know them at the Pro Bowl and soaked up information. He is a football nerd, as am I. He's more than prepared to do that job."
"All he would need would be a brief tutorial on the league rules and things like the general terms of trades and contract language — of which he's also very familiar, because of his own contract," Polian said. "He's well-prepared to do that. He could step right from the playing field into a role like that, because he's ready. I don't know that he will, but if someone wanted him to do it, he would be ready immediately to do it."
Respectfully disagree brother. If it is done right with the right supporting cast it can be done.As much as I love Manning, no. We need someone with successful experience to rebuild this team top to bottom. Peyton may be great or he may suck. We don't need another experiment.
Peyton we need you!
