If Peyton Manning came to play for the Redskins, he would be vying with Eli for the division championship yearly, which DRASTICALLY decreases the likelihood of them both even making the playoffs in the same season.
I specialize in representing NFL players specifically in off-the-field transactions and business deals. And, I am telling you from experience that WINNING has a direct correlation with the ability to produce income. It's something that Peyton, Tom Condon and all of his advisors will consider whether you understand that or not. And, YES, the Manning's are a brand. Look up Brand then get back to me. Where were you when Archie steered Eli away from San Diego? Where were you when Archie came out earlier this offseason and said Peyton didn't want to play with Andrew Luck.
If you think that Peyton would come here without considering the fact that more than likely either he or Eli will be sitting at home every year, then you're just being stubborn.
As for Tom Moore, he has a relationship with the Jets. He signed a 1 year deal. Simply because the season is over doesn't mean that he would not be brought back IF the Jets land Manning. That's common sense. AND, it's a lot closer tie than he has to Kyle Shanahan, so I'm still in awe that you're continuing to make such a fruitless argument. Additionally, this is the NY JETS. They signed Brett Favre. They're trying to be the talk of Broadway. They'd move hell and earth to make Peyton comfortable in their offense. Oh, and let's not even get to the marketing machine that would exist with the Manning brothers competing ALL YEAR for supremacy in NYC. That is a 16 week long storyline that will generate money not only for the players, but the teams and the NFL as a whole. And, there's the possibility of them playing in the Manning Bowl. Dude, none of us knows for SURE, but I have made many more valid football and business points supporting my belief that he wouldn't come here if given the chance to join the Jets or even the Dolphins (where he has a home). All you're doing is getting mad that you can't quite understand a view contrary to yours and you're failing at making a valid argument in favor of that view. Have at it.
I could care less what you feel about my tone on this website. I am not here to make friends, and have no interest in making your acquaintance.
Few things.
Archie pushed Eli his rookie year, and as I alluded to earlier, your claim would be warranted if this was their rookie year. Archie hasn't done anything since except get on a talk show and spout off, which Peyton quickly shut him up. If there was a family brand he was concerned about, explain why Peyton is taking Eli's thunder these last two weeks?
Your posts are full of you know what, and I'm just pointing it out, and its funny how upsetting it is to you. You are now making up job descriptions, calling me names, getting froth around your mouth arguing. Its actually funny how upset you get calling me (or anyone that calls out your nonsense) names, or alluding to not being football, business smart, and having to use crayons. I'm just shooting holes in your claims because every post you make its something different such as
A) Tom Moore is still with the Jets because he flat out isn't. The Jets have brand new Offensive staff
B) that Peyton would have to learn a new offense Here, but NOT in NY with Sparano as the new OC?....
C) acting like there is some Manning brand when they are both established with huge contracts and Peyton is clearly not concerned with this branding over the past two weeks
D). Acting like the two of them in the same division it SO unfounded and wouldn't make any business sense. Even though the league would clearly make money on the match ups twice a year, and
E) realizing that most likely, both teams would make the playoffs, and
F) realizing THAT has EVERYTHING to do with his decision. What team will give him the best shot of getting to the playoffs and a Super Bowl. If the XYZ team gives him the best shot, he's going to go there, regardless if he has to run over his little brother to do it.
I never said he wouldn't go to the Jets or rather play there or even that it wouldn't be more lucrative. You are creating that argument. I'm simply stating that you clearly have one view on this, and not really thinking outside the box. He may ultimately go to NY but not for the reasons you state. He may not go to the Skins but not for the reasons you state. Wherever he goes will be for himself, and himself only. Not for some family brand name, not for Archie, not for Eli, not to the Jets for Tom Moore, not for anything but himself.
