I’m not writing this piece to sit here and throw stats around. Joe Montana is one of the greatest of all-time, a Hall-of-Famer, and an NFL legend. Peyton Manning is a true legend still in the league, will be a first ballot Hall-of-Famer, and may possibly the best pure passer football has ever seen. When [...]

ESPN making room for Peyton Manning?

Now that ESPN has removed Ron Jaworski from the Monday Night Football broadcast booth, it could be a sign that they’re positioning themselves to lure Peyton Manning if he were to decide to retire before this season.  At least that’s what Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News is speculating, and I can’t disagree with him. Once ESPN announced the removal of Jaworski...

Manning situation similar to his time as a Vol

Will he or won't he? That is a question only Peyton Manning can answer. Of course no personal decision from a public figure goes without scrutiny. So pundits continue to make passionate arguments for Peyton to stay and play one more year and to hang it up and call it a career. On the one hand, he has a Super Bowl ring and a corner waiting for him in the Hall of Fame. He has...

NFL Number One Draft Picks are not Always Lucky

For every Peyton Manning, there is a Tim Couch. For every Cam Newton, there is a JaMarcus Russell. Franchise quarterbacks are often the trendy choice for teams lucky (or unlucky) enough to get the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Every number one draft pick is basically a roll of the dice, and quite often, those franchise quarterbacks end up crapping out. In the last 20 years...

Is Peyton Manning becoming a pain in the neck for the Indianapolis Colts?

Recent reports from SI.com say that quarterback Peyton Manning has been holding back when it comes to revealing his neck surgeries. NFL sources were cited on Feb. 15 as saying that Manning went through four medical surgeries/procedures on his injured neck over the past two years, not the three he has admitted to. His most recent operation took place on Sept. 9 last year when doctors...

It’s Peyton’s Choice

Peyton Manning is a man. He can make his own decisions and no one else should be telling him otherwise. As much everyone thinks they know what is best for Peyton Manning, they don’t. Manning is coming off reportedly 4 separate neck surgeries in the past 2 years according to Don Banks of SI.com. According to his birth certificate, Peyton will be 36 by the time the 2012 NFL season...

Dolphins offseason starts at quarterback

Miami has a lot of needs this offseason. Their offensive line was a mess last year, their solid defense is changing schemes, and they can’t make explosive plays on offense. Before they get to all that, their needs start at the quarterback position. The Dolphins will be mentioned prominently in all Peyton Manning and Matt…

Orton, Campbell forgotten men among free agent quarterbacks

The Peyton Manning story will be a daily soap opera for most of the offseason.  Matt Flynn is this year’s Kevin Kolb.  Drew Brees and Alex Smith aren’t going anywhere. After those four men, there hasn’t been a lot of talk about free agent quarterbacks. We’d argue that two players — Kyle Orton and Jason…

Indianapolis Colts, Top 5, First Round Draft Picks Since 1980

In 2012, the Indianapolis Colts have the 1st pick overall in the NFL draft, so that got me thinking we should take a look at the top 5, 1st round draft picks since 1980 from the Colts. The first round selections can be very tricky; you just never know who is going to shine or who is going to bust. For example, in 1998 there were two quarterbacks that were believed to be the same...

Tom Moore’s name being tossed into the mix as a possible offensive coordinator candidate at Iowa

Tweet Along with Greg Davis, another name being thrown out there to possibly become the next offensive coordinator for Iowa is Tom Moore. Moore played quarterback at Iowa from 1957-1960 and shortly after that he became a graduate assistant for his alma mater in 1961.  After serving two years in the Army, Moore has coached ever since and his first job was at the University of Dayton as...

Written by: Matthew BlunkNFL free agency is nearly upon us, and there are plenty of talented players available. And if you want to get technical, Drew Brees and Ray Rice are eligible to be among those free agents. And Peyton Manning could soon lead the pack if when the Indianapolis Colts release him.But let's not get ahead of ourselves, for Manning and Jim Irsay are still negotiating...
