If the Panthers had a chance to get Peyton Manning they'd jump at it, and you know it!!

Honestly probably not he doesn't fit the philosophy, and is to expensive.

Yeah I'm a big fan of tying up 22 million in cap hit for one player, which is what I heard Manning's hit is next year.

With no CBA in place, they have to take it, cause they can't defer any of the money to future caps.

FB: I'm sure you'll love Vic Ketchman's reply about Manning's game Saturday.

In Ketchman’s latest (and always-compelling) Q&A, a fairly innocuous remark from Mark in Boise pushed Ketchman’s “overrated” button.

Said Mark: “Manning did his job. Defense not only wins championships, it loses them.”

Said Ketchman in response: “Manning did his job? What is it with you Peyton Manning apologists? He was nearly intercepted four times and three of those should’ve been intercepted and returned for touchdowns.

“The only play he made in the second half was catching the Chargers off guard and lobbing a touchdown pass to an uncovered receiver. In his last four possessions, with the game on the line and the Colts only needing one more score to clinch the win, Manning managed a total of 20 plays for 38 net yards. Hey, that’s crunch time, baby.

“A day after he wins the league MVP, he gags with the game on the line and does his usual one-and-done routine. When are you people gonna get off your knees? The guy is 7-8 in career postseason games and six times he’s lost in the first playoff game of that year’s postseason; three times in the last four years. Manning did not do his job. His job is to win. His job is to get it done at crunch time.”

(Vic, quit being so damn coy. You really need to come out of that shell and assert yourself.)

Frankly, we’re stunned. But we approve that message.

We think we’ll read it again. And again.

Kinda puts it in perspective.

To be fair, Rivers didn't play like much of an MVP. No TD's, 1 pick, 217 yds passing. The Chargers didn't score much and when they did it was because of Sproles. The Chargers had way more rushing yards and return yards than the Colts. Peyton had to score with no run game starting inside his own 10. He still matched Rivers for 60 minutes.
