Would you take Peyton Manning as a first year OC?

The talking heads of the media has been throwing around an idea about Peyton potentially retiring this year. I don't know if you would want to be a coach or not, but if he decided to become an offensive coordinator would you want to bring him in to replace Shula?

I say yes.

In B4 Gary Busey would be a better coach than Shula.

In theory...absolutely. Is there anyone who is better prepared or understands his opponent more than Peyton? That's very hard to argue against. However, I think you'd have to have a very good QB coach because I haven't seen or heard about Peyton having the ability to develop a quarterback's skills. You never hear about his backups saying how great he's mentored or helped them. Think about it, no back up of PM's has been of note. The Colt's didn't even have a backup plan for Peyton's departure until they fell into a lot of Luck.

 

I don't know if PM has that in him to teach or help a lesser QB, but would I want him calling plays? No doubt.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
