Is Peyton a Good Fit?

Rumor is that Peyton Manning may join Titan's front office. Why not the Cowboys? Too bad he's not interested in coaching because his offensive knowledge absolutely laps Garrett and Linehan combined.

It is a very short list of QBs who called their own plays. Off the top of my head I could only count Manning, Brady (latter stage of career) and maybe Romo (mostly audibles but still).

Peyton's influence on Romo is evident, they both go up the line and kill every second of time so they can read the D. Brady is more run the play quick than milk it but these 3 guys are probably the best at reading defenses. With Rogers and Brees very close. But Romo is a student of the game and has sharpened his skills in offseason by watching and emulating the best of the best.

Pipe dream of course, but would love to see Manning's offense run by Romo.

Impossible to answer as we have no baseline for success.

Peyton Manning is going to be part of a group to buy the Titans within the next couple of years.

You read it here first.

Bring him in as GM/backup QB. He can mentor Romo, who will simultaneously be mentoring a late round pick scrub QB of Manning's choice who sits on the bench. He can also be the GM while Jerry sits on the bench for a few seasons and develops his GM craft. Reshape the whole organization to where someone is always sitting on a bench somewhere developing.

Not that the major salary cap violation is the biggest problem with this, but it would be a major salary cap violation

He's not going to have to for some front office or commentating gig. He learned from John Elway's mistake in 98 when he had a chance to buy in on the Broncos and didnt. Ownership is where the money is and that is where he is headed.

Bring Peyton in as coach and require that Garrett give him the entrance physical. He can pull the "innocent mooning" technique he honed in his years at Tennessee.

Seriously though, Manning for Wade Wilson straight up.

Jerry wouldn't let another with as big an ego in the building. Even if he did he would only last a year or two because of conflict.

I thought I read that Manning wants to go back and live in Tennessee.

Thankfully Peyton is retiring, he no longer has the arm. I think Peyton intelligence got him through the remainder of the season but still his throws looked weak.

As a front office guy that is hard to say if that is what Manning wants to do and frankly do not see him coming to Dallas
