Wow! Now Sally Jenkins jumps on the Peyton Manning to the Redskins bandwagon.
Jenkins has been one of The Washington Post's severest critics of Daniel Snyder's habit of signing free agents with big name recognition to restore the Redskins' winning ways. And yet...
"This is one instance in which Dan Snyder needs to be the Dan Snyder we used to know, the check-writer with a signature on the bottom flashier than a fountain," writes Jenkins today. "This isn’t some impulsive grab at a big-name jersey. Manning has absolutely nothing in common with the fat and happy Redskins free agent disasters of the past."
Excuse me, Sally, but Manning has everything in common with Redskins free agent disasters of the past. All of them came with big names that clouded football judgment that should have proceeded, if not precluded, the move. There is no name in football bigger than Manning these days.

The moves made by Jim Irsay thus far this offseason point toward the Colts rebuilding after one of its worst seasons in recent memory. Irsay fired the GM and much of the coaching staff, hired a defensive-minded coach, and has repeatedly beaten the "new era" mantra into our heads through press conferences. He's talked about how similar this situation is to 1998,...
Look, it’s Peyton Manning as a Seahawk (but not how you think)
As one of pro football’s best-ever quarterbacks is seemingly up for grabs, it makes sense to take a look at how Peyton Manning would blend with every NFL team. So artist David Rappoccio took a stab at it. But it’s not an analysis of how Manning’s style could fit in with every team’s offensive scheme. No, of course not. It’s Peyton Manning’s face incorporated into every...
Joe Gibbs on Peyton Manning and the Redskins
Since I’m quoting everyone else on Peyton Manning and the Redskins, might as well quote Joe Gibbs on Peyton Manning and the Redskins.
