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.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
