Agreed...and I hope Bri's crystall ball can look forward 5 years. How can a guy say he'd do it 10 out of 10 times using the kids first 5 yrs in the league when the kid hasn't even been drafted yet? Seems like a pretty silly statement to me. Hell, didn't it take Eli 4 seasons to be an "above average" quarterback? |

Above-average "for" 5 years. There aren't many QBs that are above average for 5 years. And my statement was an "IF" statement. Doesn't seem as ridiculous to me... br |

So, if and only if, after 5 yrs he still isnt an "above average" qb then you would say it was a bad deal? |

He has to be an above average qb for the 1st five years of his career? Without looking it up, I would think that that rarely happens in the NFL. Was Peyton above average in year 1? They went 3-13. |

Question for Colt fans, does seeing what St. Louis got for the 2nd pick change any of your minds for getting rid of Manning or make your even more pissed they got rid of him? |

it had nothing to do with that. Irsay and Manning talked about Manning going somewhere he could win a SB at. It was not going to happen here even with all those picks. |

If he wins them the Superbowl it was worth it, anything short and it was a terrible trade. Reason being is that there's past precedence which says they gave up more than necessary. No team had ever given up 3 1st before and then to throw in a 2nd is just asinine. St. Louis got the absolute maximum possible out of this trade. Even 5 good years out of QB can't make up for POSSIBLY 3 top 10 picks and a 2nd rounder. RGIII needs to be better than that to give this trade any credence. |

Then I disagree with you. The skins overpaid, he'll need to be better than that. |

+1. It's an incredibly dysfunctional organization, one that thinks that taking a big name in FA and throwing ridiculous money (see: Albert Haynesworth) that way can overcome an inability to draft or have an actual plan. |

...WOW...big waves on the manning front...looks like Bud Adams and the Titans are making a MAJOR push... ...a week ago i thought manning to the Dolphins was a given...now i wouldn't be surprised if manning ends up with the Titans and Hasselbeck ends up with the Dolphins...crazy... |
