Listen I've been doing some reading up on Peytons "injury" If the nerve heals he'll be fine if it doesn't he won't it's that black and white. The question is if you don't have a 100% clear answer that's he's completely healthy at the start of free agency do you take the chance and wait or forget him and go get Flynn?
 
I think a lot of people are missing the timeline with these QB's. First of all, we do not know when Manning will be ready, but probably closer to the draft than the start of FA.(if ever btw). Therefore, if the Fins are going to wait for Manning, Flynn will be long gone in the new signing period...or another way of thinking about it, the Fins will have to move on Flynn well before Manning is cleared.

Heck, the draft could go by and Manning still not be cleared.

Exactly. IMO we would be risking the future of the franchise, for a guy that, best case scenario, gets us 2-3 good years
 
IF Manning is cleared by March somehow, I would jump on him, but it is not going to happen.

Joe Philbin will have a great opinion and insight of Flynn.
 
If you don't believe that Matt Flynn can be a franchise qb, then you wait for the draft and make it priority #1 to trade up for Robert Griffin III. Manning is too risky.

Yeah take the risk and if he is not healthy then he will sit our bench and take up 15 million dollars, we will not be able to add players from FA, we will still need to get a QB, we will be were the Colt are right now. NO, IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.

My slogan of the offseason "manning, griffin, or bust."

I'm curious what is it you've read that makes you so pessimistic about manning being ready. The doctor that did the damn surgery said 90% of his patients recover fully from this injury. Peyton himself knows if he's not ready before the draft his selection of teams to play for goes down tremendously. If he's playing in 2012 he'll be cleared before march 13th. Bank on that...
 
I really dont want to be negative about Manning. I know that he has been one of the best QB's for the last 10 years but his but we may have seen the last of that. I dont think we will be getting who we saw and loved for all of his carrer. If I knew for sure that he would be the same, I would say hell yes but the risk of taking him is not worth paying all of that money and destroying other parts of the team. It will destroy other parts of the team because that will be money we can not spend to upgrade other positions and Payton may ride the pine.

I have had this surgery. I am fully 100% healed. The fact is that does not mean he is 100% the same as he was before. I am in no way the same as I was before I had this done even though I have had a full recovery. Some of you just dont get it.
 
Like ive stated a thousand times, most people severely underrate mannings capabilities.

Going into last season, most expected him to still be playing at the level of the best qb in the nfl. Now that he has gone out for one year people think his arm got shot.

He will still be the most accurate and smartest qb in football. As long as he can turn his head he will be a top 4 quarterback.

The list is easy. In no specific order because it can fluctuate, I still see Rodgers Brees Brady Manning as the top 4 quarterbacks for at least another 3 years. I think he will still be playing at a top 6 quarterback level on the day he retires. If healthy i can see him going all the way to age 41-43 playing at a top level. He will retire when hes tired of the hits, but it doesnt mean his arm and brains has died down just because he was out one year. 2 years ago he was still the BEST qb in the nfl.
