Sign him up. I doubt he has any interest here but he can't be that much worse than some of the bums we keep trotting out there.

The NFL gets a hard on about pedigrees and pedigrees don't come any higher than a Manning at QB. If he looks significantly improved next year I'm sure they'll largely overlook this year vs. struggling to reconcile Bama Hurts and OU Hurts.

I think they like pedigrees when the output also matches. I get the idea of liking a pedigree because you should expect the preparation for the NFL should be exceptional. 

To date, I have seen very little of that with Manning. If anything, he looks like he has been very protected from having to actually play at a high level until this past season. And the results were not good. 

I think grandpa let the cat out of the bag when he spoke out of turn. My guess is that the Manning clan also internally is very aware that he isn't anywhere near being ready for the NFL.

19 tackles and 0 sacks for a D that's overall slightly worse than ours. Dude is completely washed.

He’ll clear waivers and get to New England and win Super Bowl mvp somehow

Yeah, I think old man Arch basically git caught doing a Jim Mora "playoffs" reaction to fielding a question about Arch entering the draft?  "Draft?! You wanna ask me about the NFL and this kid??? I just hope he can play decent at the college level."

If we go anything less than 2-1 down the stretch I can't see them picking up the 5th year option. Bring in a rookie and another vet and give it an honest competition. If they do that and are completely unbiased Bryce won't win the job

The belief among insiders, beat writers, etc is pretty much universal that they'll pick up the option.

As far as any sort of competition, wouldn't hold my breath
