NFL Offseason

In the discussion of Cards v Phins, it's worth noting that the Dolphins as an organization are far from stable and their coaching situation just isn't nearly as good as AZ's.
 
He'd be crazy to go to the Broncos. They have a great o-line but their weapons suck and their defense has some holes like an aging Brian Dawkins for one. I suppose if they were able to sign Mike Wallace (for their 1st) and also beef up their defense some, I'd feel differently but I'm not so sure. Personally, KC makes the most sense to me, even if it isn't warm weather. Very good o-line. Great weapons. Very good young defense. If they drafted well and signed one or two key vets on defense, they could go to the SB imo.

Cards were 8-8 this year.

Also Cardinals finished the season 7-2 the last 9 games with a quarterback named John Skelton, also teams they beat were Cowboys and 49ers (also they lost to the Giants earlier in the year due to a controversal call in the last minute) Imagen Peyton Manning now.

The 9ers win was good. I have no idea why you're touting a win against a Cowboy team that couldn't even make the playoffs, the loss against the Giants came earlier in the season when NY was riddled with injuries, and their 8-8 record looks less exciting when you consider they were playing in the weakest division in the NFL.

The list of Arizona's positives in regards to landing Manning begins and ends with Fitzgerald, and that's not going to be enough. I do think Peyton has narrowed his list down to Denver, Arizona, and Miami, but I think it's in Miami's favor that he is meeting with them last. He's already familiar with Miami's facilities (used them for a week during his Super Bowl appearance) and like I said before, they've got the best offense to put around Peyton not to mention probably the best defense of the 3.

While I still don't see Peyton playing in a cold weather stadium, I'm guessing it comes down to Miami and Denver.
 
I thought the Chiefs were pretty impressive for a team that played considerable stretches with three different QBs where one was just awful, and the other two were the poster-boys of mediocre.

Their weapons are so freakin' dynamic to me. Charles is a stud. They have backup backs who are more than capable. McCluster is such a tough matchup for defenses and can be used from basically anywhere on the field. Bowe is/could be a manchild ala T.O. Breaston is a great second receiver. And Baldwin is just huge and came on strong last year.

The weakest division in the NFL??? LOL

NFC west has the second best playoff record out of ANY division in the NFC and AFC since 2005. Thats a 7 year sample size btw.

Seattle Seahawks were solid this year, Arizona was borderline good, and SF49ers were one of the best teams this year. Rams were horrible this year, yes they collapsed.

Excellent argument. Peyton's decision is obviously going to be influenced by the likes of Sam Acho.

Do you even know who he is? A 23 year old who had 7 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in limited time last year as a rookie lb and is emerging quickly on the scene. Please don't comment on a topic that you have little to no knowledge of.

I love your posts. No matter what the subject matter, you always seem to come across as a sad and bitter little man.

The Broncos also have over 50 million in cap space. They can fill those holes and fit Peyton in. Their defense was much improved this year and is very young outside of the DB's. The offense sucked because they have no QB to throw the ball. They have a much better Oline than Arizona and can also sign Saturday to get a starter at "C". The weakest spot on their OLine. They could also theoretically add Wayne and Clarke from the Colts to go with Saturday and Manning.

Rumor has it that Denver, Arizona and Miami are the 3 remaining teams. He refused a visit to Seattle and KC. My feeling is that it is really between Denver and Miami. Arizona has to shed 16+ Million dollars just to get under the current cap and that is without a contract for Manning. It will not be easy to get Manning and build an Oline with no money. They also have no room to add players Manning may want to join him.
 
Steelers are forced to get young.

Hines gone :(
Farrior gone
A Smith gone

My hope is somehow we keep Wallace. I'll be amazed if we do.

Woodley and Ben restructured but this gain will be a playoff team that needs to get hot to make a run

Draft wishes for the 1st is Poe from Memphis or Hightower slips to instantly replace Farrior.

2nd round... Best player available at T or G OR Corner/Free Safety.

Also take a late round pick (5th) on a RB since Mende is coming off injury. Utah State anyone ;)
