Potential Jets: Peyton Manning

From what I hear people with his surgery live with pain for a good portion of their lives. I vote nay. I think we’re stuck with Sanchez, sink or swim.

State of NY renames Manhattan to MANNHATTAN.
and the jets better land manningham too… just for the fun of it. and draft Terrell Manning! LOL!

Are the Ravens sold on Flacco? Could the dolphins make a solid case?
I’m just curious what everyone else thinks.
I wonder how many other fan bases are starting to drool over Manning at this point an how many teams actually have a chance.

at first i was all for signing Manning and doing whatever possible to get him in a Jets jersey, but the more i thought about it and all the “what-ifs” that he brings with him, i decided a firm NO when asked if the Jets should pursue Manning, heres my reasons…

1. No gaurentee he will EVER play again

2. Too much $$$ ( around 30 million 1 season)

3. might as well cut Sanchez, he wont play again for the Jets if we sign Manning

4. No gaurentee he will be 100% healthy, who needs a QB that cant throw? ( see Brett Favre 2008 )

5. if unsure, check answers 1-4 again.

If he gets cut, i dont even think hell want to come to NY, especially if Eli wins it again this year. The pressure will be on Peyton like never before.

The bottom line is “TOO EXPENSIVE” and we have other holes to fill on both sides of the ball. We won’t be able to do that because all the money would be spent on Manning…IMHO

and fitting under that umbrella of questioning is
Does he give the Jets a better chance to win the Super Bowl next year then Mark Sanchez?

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONNO

NONONONONO

No

NO.

Maybe he isn’t released, or if he is maybe he retires, or if he doesn’t maybe he doesn’t want to come to Jets, or if he does maybe he wants 20 mil a year, or if none of that maybe he fails the (doubtlessly? at least hopefully) stringent medical check the Jets put him through.

Ultimately, the Jets need to have the choice. 36 year old injury risk named Peyton Manning, arguably the greatest player ever at the most important position in an era where it’s more important than ever. Or Sanchez.

I am in the ‘no’ camp on signing Peyton. Don’t see how the Jets don’t even kick the tyres here though.

I have the ugly gut feeling that Peyton will play again and he will be good if not better, unlike old fart favre, peyton took this same 2-14 team to a 10-6 record playing hurt and with more injuries on the lineup the last time he played, he won the MVP with tony ugoh and took this team to a superbowl with a creppy D and no OL at all.. if the nerves regenerate, Just imagine what he could do with a good team and a good defense, unlike old fart favre this guy was playing hurt and still on MVP level, lucky the team that gives him a chance.. if he plays (5th MVP) .. and it is no joke.. did you see the same colts without him?
I just hope for the best for him. and if he wont be a colt no more :( .. then I just hope he ends up winning another ring he deserved a better team polian.. glad you are gone!

even if manning is only 50% healthy he is still better than sanchez at 110% and no matter what even if we are just gonna run the ball the defense still has to respect that its payton manning taking the snaps

and if we do cut sanchez greg m could learn from the best qb in the game and we could start grooming a qb the right way

We have more pressing holes to deal with

And if the price is right and if, if, if, if…

There are scenarios where I love this move and scenarios where I hate it.

If we can work it out, it’ll be awesome. I even think it might help Sanchez. It can’t hurt your ego too much if Peyton Manning shows up and you gotta sideline a bit plus I think Manning can really help Mark out.

I think Manning is a pipe dream though. (I will have a #18 jersey if we sign him. Oh yeah, and while we’re at it, let’s grab Braylon.)

If the Jets have the chance to get this guy, you do it. He will cover up any holes on defense and he will keep the WR’s happy. Whats the worst thing that happens if he isnt healthy, we turn to McElroy? Is he that much of a drop off from Sanchez? I bet he protects the football better.

I wonder if the following may change some people’s minds.

INDIANAPOLIS – For all the discussion over Peyton Manning’s future with the Indianapolis Colts, the underlying issue is that people close to him don’t believe he’ll resume his career.

The nerves in Manning’s arm are not healing as quickly as hoped and, worse, don’t appear to be progressing at enough of a rate to indicate that he will play again, according to two sources with knowledge of Manning’s rehabilitation from neck surgery. The vertebrae in his neck that were fused have healed as expected and Manning began throwing in December. But he hasn’t shown improvement in velocity on his passes, and the two sources fear he likely never will again.

In addition, two league-affiliated doctors with experience in spinal fusion surgery said it could take up to a year before Manning knows if he can return. Both said the risk is too great for Manning to play again and, because of the timeline, neither would recommend the Colts pay Manning the $28 million bonus he is owed in March.

Manning couldn’t be reached for comment.

Colts owner Jim Irsay declined to talk about Manning’s health on Monday before a news conference, but did say, "There are no cases of quarterbacks going through this."

Irsay may have no choice but to let go of Manning. While some people have tried to paint the situation as Irsay choosing to move on from Manning as he rebuilds the Colts after a 2-14 season, that was not Irsay’s intention months ago. In October, Irsay discussed the optimal situation of having both Manning and his heir apparent on the roster simultaneously.

"Guys like that come along so rarely," Irsay said on Oct. 10 at an NFL owners meeting in Houston, referring to Manning and perceived No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck (although Irsay has since indicated that Robert Griffin III could also be the selection). "Even if that means that guy sits for three or four years, you’d certainly think about taking him … you see what Green Bay did with [Brett] Favre and [Aaron] Rodgers and you’d like to be able to do the same thing."

At this point, that scenario is unlikely and not because Irsay doesn’t want to pay the money for Manning. Rather, Manning has hit a plateau in his rehabilitation in terms of getting stronger, both sources said. While atrophy in the arm was expected, the fact that it hasn’t improved recently is an ominous sign.

"If you’re getting consistent improvement, then that’s OK. Even if it’s going from lifting 10 pounds to 15 pounds to 20 pounds over a stretch of weeks, that’s fine," said a doctor who has not seen Manning but has a background in spinal surgery. "If you hit a plateau, that’s a problem. … Now, I say that, but I also tell patients who have been through it that it can take up to a year to find out exactly how much strength you’re going to get back

"Right now, Peyton is at about six months. He should have a much better idea by July or August just how far he’s going to get … even then, that’s only a part of it. You can tell about 80 percent of how the nerves and the muscles are healing by rehab. What you really have to see is how his arm holds up when he starts to throw. Does he have the same velocity on the 15-yard out? Can he throw the 60-yard pass? Can he throw for 30 minutes before his arm gets tired? Can he throw for an hour? It’s a very complicated process." It’s a process Irsay may not be able to gamble on at this point.

As for Manning’s side of it, he remains confident that he will return to action next season even as the progress remains slow. Last week in an extensive interview with Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star, Manning expressed frustration as to why so many people who he has worked with over the years have been let go by the team, including team president Bill Polian and coach Jim Caldwell. While Manning understands the team needing to move forward, he believes he will be able to play again.

[ Yahoo! Sports Radio: Jason Cole on Irsay-Manning relationship]

"Any athlete is going to remain confident," one source said. "He wants to play again. He’s going to do everything he can to get out there."

Sadly, that may not be enough.

no no no no

They are asking if Jet’s fans learned their lesson of be careful what they wish for…

I’m proud to say that I’m in Sanchez’s corner on this mess of media crap. Listening to the report on Sunday night – Bob Costas & Tony Dungie noted that it was a pretty grey area surrounding Peyton’s health. Apparanently he has difficulty with some of his excerice routine and his throwing is basically for the “shits”. I think they edited that last word out and put in a more PG Family sensitive adjective. – pick one: fucking awful, throws like a girl, maybe have him try it left handed this time. Bottom line was he doesn’t have very much strenght in the upper body. Great, sounding more and more like everyone wants to sign Chad Pennington Clone version 3.0 – note good ole #10 did do the first two impressions on his own here in Jetland. We don’t talk about that mistake in Tunafin land. Sound about right?

Manning is not 100%. He had a serious injury. Why would you want to go through this Brett Farve type fiasco again. And no, a 70% Manning is not better than a 100% Sanchez. A 70% Manning will become a 0% Manning after 1 good hit. You know, the kind of hits Sanchez took ALL SEASON LONG. Sure Peyton will get the ball out faster but he still gonna get hit.

The Colts team was built to enhance P. Manning’s strengths. That is why the Colts folded this year. Who knows how well he would do with our roster. Also, we act like the Manning is winning every superbowl. He’s not. He’s human. He loses. He throws picks just like Sanchez. Jets play alot of tough teams, not to mention we have to play the Patriots and Miami twice a year. Miami may be inconsistent but the Pats are always competitive. Can you say the same thing for the Colts?

Finally,

While we chase pipe dreams, we let other talent get picked up.

our QB in his first three years has completed 690 out of 1276 passes for 54%, while only throwing 10 more TD’s then Interceptions. He must be done.

Oh wait….those aren’t Mark Sanchez’ stats.

THOSE ARE ELI MANNINGS STATS FROM HIS FIRST THREE YEARS.

Know what they did after his first three years? They fired the OC and went with a new one. (*I think it was after his third year….might have been second or fourth. But you get my point.)

Give Mark another year, please. That’s my vote.

His neck is not healing. It’s not his spine, its the nerve from his neck that is connected to his triceps. He has no control in his triceps in his throwing arm, and the nerve isn’t healing.

manning has 1-3 years left. he would help the jets win now, but where does that leave us in a few years? we would be the 2011 colts. a team without a qb and gaping holes all over the field. I vote stay with sanchez, draft a #1 reciever, and get a safety that can cover gronk. we’ll be better off for the future. some more food for thought, “elite” eli manning had similar numbers to sanchez through his first 3 years. Also, drew brees took a couple of years to catch up to the game in the nfl
