He'll have the QB in place and a very promising defense.  But the rest of our offense is question marks.

Some question marks, sure.

But it’s not some dire situation.

The Jets may not have a true #1 receiver, but they have 3 guys all under the age of 27 who have proven capable of putting up 700-900+ yards.

Chris Herndon is a promising young TE who only started 12 games as a rookie and still wound up with 500 receiving yards and 4 TD’s.

And though the Jets OL is far from one of the premier units in the league, it’s not complete garbage either. Especially with the addition of Osemele.

Agree but the mindset of the organization needs to change.  We won 4 games last season striving for 5 this year isn't building a championship organization.

Bring Archie and Olivia in also.

Lucky us.

Hey no matter what they got new uni's right?

Can you imagine whats going on in Darnolds head right now? Holy sh!tballs.

Old school folks would never want hated rivals on their team. This soft attitude to rivals is just another sh*tty result of the fantasy football free agency era. No one cares, sign Brady, hire Bellichek, Marino for GM, SURE! Sorry, not me. **** Peyton Manning.

That hate is for players. If Manning is up for the challenge that would be fine with me, a rival is when teams are consistently playing on the same playing field. Jets have been in the bottom 3rd I would welcome someone with a football mind that can be applied in the right space and task. Anything to make the Jets even fun to watch at least, and SB contender at most. Dolphins have been our rival no matter how the teams are performing, or is that to old school?

But Elway didn’t need to take the Broncos job. Lynch didn’t need to take the 49ers job.

Pretty much everyone will tell you that Peyton Manning is one of those “football lifers” who finds it difficult to sever ties with the game.

He eats, sleeps, drinks and pisses football. 

 

He eats sh*t like the Jets for breakfast. 

Wait, he eats sh*t for breakfast?

Well the original topic that i posted on said the Jets were pursuing Manning. It got merged and changed.

And who the eff are you to talk sh*t about anybody? Everyone knows the 24 in your name is your IQ.

As a Jet fan, you should never such a question.

Peyton would lose millions from the commercials he makes to come in as GM, that much is true.  If however, he truly wants to get back into football maybe money doesn't matter all that much to him.  Not sure why he would want to deal with all the BS of being a GM for a historically bad franchise with historically bad ownership.  The only way I see this happening is if he desperately wants back into football and really would enjoy working with Adam.  Other than that I don't see why he would take the job.

Would he be a good GM?  Who knows?  He's been in the trenches playing for almost 20 years and has won at the highest level, so I think just being surrounded by great players might make him a good talent evaluator.  He's seen it all on the field.  With all that said, maybe, just maybe Payton would make a good GM.  I don't think we'll ever know though.  

My guess is he is flattered at the offer but turns it down.  I know I would if I were him.  He could continue to make millions off his commercials while spending quality time with his family.  I have to imagine making commercials is easy money, while being a GM is hard work for less pay.

You now have Fox News and CBS Sports adding momentum to this.

I don't know what to make of it because it is not guaranteed that a great player will also make a great administrator or evaluator of talent.

Joe Douglas should have been a done deal if he really wanted it/Jets wanted him. Of course McCarthy and Matt Rhule were also "done deals" during the coaching search.

Being serious for a moment, you truly cannot make this stuff up with this team. No longer is this town talking about the Knicks lottery woes or the future of the Giants. All eyes are on the incompetence and hesitancy of these fools.

There is no way to know if Peyton will be a good GM but it’s not impossible that he wouldn’t be an enormous upgrade over our last two clowns

[Jets Voice of Reason]

Sure seems like Joe Douglas said no.

We’ve easily upgraded at least 30% of the starters on O and didn’t downgrade any positions. We also should have better coaching on O and a 2nd year QB. This offense should be significantly better.

Talk about rubbing salt on an open wound. Manning didn’t have to hit Darron Lee with the ball like that. 

[BroadwayJoe12]

As mentioned, he would at the very least bring credibility. Everyone assumes they can succeed, but I would be hard-pressed to imagine Peyton and his family would risk his legacy taking on a job that he/they didn't think he could actually do. He also strikes me as someone who would surround himself with talented people, rather than assume he could handle every aspect. But f*ck, I've been wrong plenty before. 

[flgreen]

I really don't think Manning is going to take the GM position, but I can see him getting involved in the FO in some capacity

[Lupz27]

I personally think the Manning FAMILY has eyes on owning a NFL team once Eli retires. Peyton taking a GM job anywhere isn’t part of that plan.

Lets get really crazy.  How would the fan base react if the Manning's  bought the Jets.  That would be fun

Good question.  First, I don't think it sends the right message to be doing commercials while a full time GM.  Also, he wouldn't have the time as a GM to break away for a week at a time to do a commercial.  He does probably 6 a year, equating to maybe 6 weeks worth of work.  No way he gets that much time away from the GM job.  With that said, I really have no idea how long it takes to do a commercial, maybe it only takes a couple of days per commercial.

So the jets weren’t good enough for him to play for but they’re good enough for him to be in charge of? Let’s not forget he pulled his own 2004 Eli back in the day

 

This will be Elway in Denver all over again

Manning wanted to play for the Jets and Elway has led the Broncos to two super bowl s winning one as an exec.

Offer the Mann a cheap buy in, 85% of of five billion is worth more than 100%

of three billion. Number 18 would add intelligence, improved perceived image and cash value

What the hell are you talking about? Peyton Manning has avoided this franchise like the plague his entire career. Just because he’s the only person on the planet that the media is convince Gase doesn’t hate has nothing too do with him coming here. He’s too busy making money in commercials. 

Peyton is the one candidate who would be delighted with our selection of coach

I think it’s GM or bust for Peyton 

I’m not sure why he would accept some sort of “director of pro personnel” job when he’s watched guys like Elway and Lynch get the main gig.

As far as an official job title goes, your probably right. 

I can see Manning making appearances during training camp, and popping up here and there as a consultant, carrying some kind of "advisor" title.   Not a real job, but being around quite a bit just to stay involved  with football for now

I don't think he'd take a job he wasn't 100% confident he could succeed in. I have my doubts about him as a traditional GM. Significant doubts. I also think that he'd like to own a team. Taking a job like VP of Football Operations would be like an ownership apprentice position. If he really believes in Gase, he might be open to such a position with the Jets. 

All that said, I really don't think he's coming to the Jets.

I imagine most of the same misgivings you might have, short of the fact that he used to play for the Colts. That whole lack of personnel experience thing looming pretty large. 

Before you ask, that VP of FO job would be more like a glorified consultant position. His personal relationship with Gase would serve the organization well with Peyton being a buffer between Gase and the owner. In that position, he'd serve as a mediator between HC, GM, and owner, as well as just being a smart, NFL veteran who everyone in the building could bounce ideas off of. Jets would get a high-profile face of the front office, Peyton gets a paycheck and valuable front office experience. Potential win-win.

Sounds like you're for it, despite your misgivings as to his experience in a front office.
