flgreen Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 ManningWatch: Ron Jaworski picks Jets February, 20, 2012 Feb 20 5:25 PM ET Email Print Comments200 By James Walker ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski knows who he likes in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. "Jaws" told radio station 97.5 in Philadelphia that the New York Jets would be the best fit for the future Hall of Fame quarterback. "I think it's best for Peyton to go and play on a team that can compete for a Super Bowl," Jaworski explained. "A team that might be a quarterback away from elevating that team to Super Bowl status, and I think that would be a win-win situation." When asked to pick a team, Jaworski said, “The New York Jets. I love [Jets quarterback] Mark Sanchez, and there are 25 other quarterbacks in this league that I would take Peyton Manning over. There's a turf war in New York. The Giants just won the Super Bowl. The Jets are fighting for every inch of space they can get in the newspaper. How do you get that inch? How do you get the headlines? You sign Peyton Manning." This sounds decent in theory, but Jaworski has overlooked several key factors. For starters, New York currently has little cap room to make an acquisition like Manning. The Jets would have to cut a lot of veterans to make enough space to fit the perennial Pro Bowler on the roster. Second, the Jets have said publicly that Sanchez is their quarterback next season. If New York goes after Manning, that would look very disingenuous towards Sanchez. Probably two-thirds of the league would like to have a healthy Peyton Manning at quarterback. But there's only a few teams -- the Dolphins, Cardinals, Redskins, Seahawks -- with a legitimate shot to pull it off. The Jets are not one of those teams.

Freemanm Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Jaworski's prediction doesn't amaze me so much as the fact that it took ESPN that long to realize that he's stupid and fire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line makes no since at all. how could the jets go out and say "YES! we want manning, and if we dont get him we'll stick with sanchez." that would ruin Sanchez. they have to say that Sanchez is they're man! if they don't and go after Manning and miss out on him then where does that leave them? does this guy now know what he's talking about?

BaumerJet Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My Lord Please..> I Swear, No one Under the age of 30 gets this: We can not afford him - $36 Million a year would get rid of 5 veterans JUST TO KEEP HIM FOR 1 Year We really can not afford him even if we get him to restructure - how do we pay for a decent backup QB When if we get him, we have to get rid of Sanchez due to cap room? He does not play Rex/Sparano's type of offense & miscomunnication is something we do not need right now We do not know the true damage to his spine - a major hit & we get left without a good backup & a F-Up season(s) We do not know if he can even play this year or even if he needs at least 2 years of rehab, just to get ready And the "Girl Crush" for a former Superstar no longer in his prime (he isn't) continues...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Any offense that might suggest Peyton Manning being a bad fit is a stupid offense we are well rid of before it gets implemented. Peyton Manning doesn't fit the offense, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 please god make it march 9th already IDK. I suspect this is going to drag on into the summer. He is not going to be able to throw in March. Who would be stupid enough to sign him before they find out if he can even throw the ball.
