Jimmy Johnson wanted to draft Peyton Manning

[kuyyo_morro]

In his book, he wanted to move up the draft and get Peyton Manning as his pick. History would have been a different story on Bellichik and Brady being in same division as Jimmy Johnson and Manning.

I am reading snippets of it from the web, twitter etc sources. Might get a copy.

Not surprising Dan Marino was in decline and about to retire. Jimmy needed a QB but had no shot at Peyton Manning.

He can say that all he wants, Indianapolis wasnt going to move out of that pick

So did a lot of other teams. Jimmy stated that they did not have the trade collateral to make it happen, but as @darthseinfeld mentioned, there was no way the Colts were going to trade that pick away.

Most of the league wanted to draft Payton Manning.

As weird as it sounds now, the Leaf pick may not have even been for sale that year

Also Dolphins Ownership wasn't Jerry Jones

Some actually preferred Leaf due to the Big Arm.

Small cranium though.

Actually he said Archie Manning asked him to move up for Peyton.

Alot of people iirc. Just enough to were Manning wasn't quite the consensus

 

[noshame]

Marino was the downfall of Jimmy

Maybe he would ended Ryan Leaf....

Small cranium though.

And massive ego

 

[Rockport]

Also Dolphins Ownership wasn't Jerry Jones

And BOOM

 

[Risen Star]

And BOOM

Jerry did nothing with personnel while Jimmy was here. It's why Jerry wanted him out. Its also why the team went from dynasty to laughingstock since.

Moore just can't help himself.

this

I wanted to draft Payton also

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I read the book, but this is still a weird thread.

Jimmy was drafting 19th. Of course he wanted Peyton. Almost everybody did. He even offered his entire draft to the Colts and it still wasn't good enough.

Archie even called Jimmy asking him to try and get him to Miami

Throw that play out of the playbook!
