Phriday Phun: Peyton Manning in a Dolphins logo?

Feb. 10 Opinion 3 comments ---Bill

We’ve spend the last few weeks telling you about the Miami Dolphins and their QB options this offseason.  I think we’ve just about covered everything!  Peyton Manning’s health, RG3′s trade cost, and Matt Flynn’s experience are all question marks for the Dolphins.  Today, we thought we’d share a laugh with you all.  We came across this blog on Twitter (thanks to @rizzmiggizz).  Dave Rappoccio created a new logo for every NFL team……with Peyton Manning’s head built in.  Here’s what his new Dolphins logo looks like:

Thought we would share for your enjoyment.  As we’ve said before, no one really knows how healthy Peyton is going to be when he is released by the Colts….Equally as important, no one has any idea which team Peyton will end up on when he’s released.  Report after report suggest different things about his health.  Bill Polian says he’s throwing the ball well, but is capped at 25 yards….Others suggest that he can’t throw to his left and doesn’t have enough zip on the ball.  It’s going to continue until the Dolphins and other NFL teams can look at Manning and watch him throw, in person.  Everything else you hear is pure conjecture and speculation.

    I will bet he does not go to an NFC team. That is why it was such a big deal for him not to go to San Deigo. Daddy Manning wants to be the Dad of both QB’s in the super bowl and that cannot happen if they are in the same conference. So for that Miami is a good place for Peyton, I don’t want him but I believe that he would like to go there. I would prefer to see what Matt Flynn has and then the dolphins can see what they have with a “In Matt We Trust” season. Shore up the right side of the line in the draft, get a safety out of free agency or anywhere that can stop someone down field, and please bring in someone either to stop the other teams WR’s from going down field or get rid of the self proclaimed “Best tandem corners” in the game and bring in some one that can stop the pass. I am shocked that they are switching to a 4-3 I always prefered it but not sure it is the best choice. Hey I am just a fan with an opinion and hope that they do the best they can.

    It sounds like Bill Polian was full of crap about Peyton not being able to throw to his left. From everything I have heard, Peyton is throwing the ball really well and he was at Duke University throwing passes to a guy who helped coach him at the Univ. of Tennessee. I am sure the Dolphins will give Peyton a long look should he be released by the Colts come the first week of March. Matt Flynn should become a free agent at the same time, however, so the Phins need to decide quickly whether to make Flynn and offer, or hope that Manning is close to being the QB he once was. Option 3 is moving up in the draft for either Luck or RG3 . I think it will be too costly to do this. If I were a betting man, I think Ireland will bring in Matt Flynn to be our next QB.

    I don’t think a dolphin with a bum fin is the answer. It may be OK for escaping an aquarium but alas, the name is Peyton not Nemo. I don,t think Peyton’s body could survive another season. Also with an injury this severe, Peyton will tend to pull every throw when the pressure is on, like has always done when his he’s been injured (does anyone remember when Zack Thomas broke Peyton’s jaw and how long it took him execute under pressure again). Don’t get me wrong he is one of the best ever but he’s only human and not a fish. I can only hope if he hasn’t really gotten better he’ll retire and not push the envelope like some the other greats I’ll never forget how Sorry I felt for Joe Namath in those last games he played. Better to go out on top than on the bottom.
