Peyton Manning Won’t Be A Quick Fix Quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks

draft Matt Flynn…

Hell no! They would be bringing Peyton in solely for ticket sales. His career would end with a whimper.

we're building a good team in Seattle, and T, Jackson is clearly not the guy. Matt Flynn would be a good option, but he's already been drafted. LOL

don't count peyton out boys…

don't they mean sign Matt Flynn?

You lost all credibility for writing this article when you wrote.
(Seahawks will sign Peyton Manning as a “quick fix” but will also try to draft Matt Flynn in order to build a future Super Bowl contending team) Flynn's already been drafted.., by the team he plays for, "Green Bay". He will be a free agent. You really think the seahawks, who just gave T. Jackson a contract to play QB, will now turn around and pay Peyton Manning and Matt flynn…. Really… Really…

He would be a hell of a lot better then what they have now. They said Brett Farve after a less than stellar season with the NY Jets and next season played for the Vikings and had one of his best seasons ever. So I would not count Peyton out. If he winds up on the Sea Chickens and does bad it won't be because of him it wold be because the rest of the team is not up to par.

Pete Corroll shouldn't even be in the teams future plans, nevermind a 36 year old QB coming off a 4th neck surgury that missed an entire season. If anything he'd make Seattle just good enough to miss out getting a top QB in the draft next year.

Matt Flynn is just like Matt Cassel, they're system QB's & when you take them out of their systems they fail. On the other hand Peyton Manning IS the "system" if he's healthy he will win another superbowl if he has a half ass defense.

manning is going to retire in indianapolis.

NO! He will be in Indy…..

Peyton Manning IS NOT A HAS BEEN. he is still the best QB around. Any team will be lucky if they sign him.

Indy should keep Manning for 2 years to groom their new QB. Indy will have to change their offensive scheme because no one plays QB like Manning.

PLEASE don't go to Arizona.

Manning should renegotiate his contract with the Colts. He received $26,000,000 this year and didn't play a down. Read that 3 times if you need to. If he holds out for his original contract it would be an injustice. And for full disclosure, I'm not a Colts fan or a Manning fan. I just call it as I see it.

Seattle needs a QB. But having Flynn & Payton on the same team at the same time will not work. Too disruptive to the team and egos. I would opt for getting Flynn because of his youth, kick Whitehurst to the curb and keep T-Jack in reserve! Go Hawks!

i am a cowboy fan,,wouldn't mind if they took him..

No.

Someone obviously doesn't actually follow the Seahawks.

Wow…so you take a comment that was in response to if Seattle would take a QB in round one of the draft and apply it to Manning? Really? This article is so irresponsible…GMs aren't allowed to comment on players that are under contract elsewhere and their application to their team. You aren't a sports writer and don't understand football (witnessed by "drafting Matt Flynn). You shouldn't be putting crap out there like this.

As a fan of both Manning brothers, I can only hope that the Colts are the only team Peyton ever plays for. I also hope that, if in fact his recent injuries and surgeries have rendered him unable to safely play, he will be accepting and smart enough to call it quits before doing further damage to his body. I respect him tremendoulsy, but also do not want to see him put himself, his body or his family at risk.

Seattle has a long history of picking up great talent at the end of their carrier. Jerry Rice anyone?

The Seahawks would own that weak division if Manning played there.

i thought the same thing haha. they're gonna "draft" him from free agency? lol. You''d think chris chase from yahoo wrote this

Weak Division? Were the 49ers a fumbled punt away from the SuperBowl? Did you watch football last year?

I'm a Cowboys fan also, Marci, but I wouldn't take him at $26M. I think that is what they would have to pay him. That would destroy the team salary cap for years, which is what the Colts are trying to avoid.

eventually…

Pretty hard to draft the 4th year player Matt Flynn.

he did not take the 26M AH!

OK, you are partially right. He did not get the $3m roster bonus. That means that he "only" received the $3.4M base salary plus the $20M signing bonus.

Uh – just a quick question here… Do writers proof read anything before they post. How exactly will the Seahawks try to draft Matt Flynn? He's already a player in the NFL. I'm glad the readers picked up on this guys mistake!

Peyton Manning has been a machine in football for a long time. Even if his neck is healthy enough for him to play, he didn't play this year and he's aging. If he leaves the Colts it's going to be a rough ride for him, stepping back on the field and being 'Peyton Manning' may realistically not happen…but, the dude has gas left in the tank. Sounds like the Colts have other plans. Tough situation for Peyton. Many athletes at his level – with his history – have issues like this near the end of their careers. Class guy though. HOF, NFL MVP"S and some records.

uh.. also DRAFT Flynn? someone needs to proofread..

I hope Peyton Manning goes to Seattle. Seattle is a great city and along with the Seahawks will welcome Peyton. The Indianapolis Colts and Jimmy Irsay have abandoned the whole Colts roster in anticipation of Andrew Luck. Luck will need be careful too when dealing with the unpredictably slimmy Jimmy "Shifty" Irsay.

GO HAWKS!

I can see the N.O.SAINTS letting Brees go and signing Manning. Both have about the same time left as far as their careers. Brees will actually demand more money than Manning. Look for Manning In N.O. and Brees in Miami.

This is a NO LOSE scenario! IF he is healthy he the Seahawks have the best QB in the league. If he is not you have the best mentor in the league.

first of all, there is an annoying typo that says their going to "draft" Matt Flynn, hes already in the league, whoever wrote this article is a dumbass. Peyton should sign with a better team than the fuckin seahawks, the seahawks will never win a superbowl. EVER

I think Peyton should get another chance. He still has the hunger. What better player than Peyton, that is going to get the Seattle Seahawks at least to the playoffs. Teams often talk about loyalty with a player, but as soon as a player gets hurt it's just business. Give the man a shot! Y'all want loyalty Nfl and NBA show some yourselves when players get injured, like Mckenzie for the Saints and Peyton for the colts. Stop being hypocrites and crabs for friends! Give dat boy! another shot.

This entire article is stupid. As a long-depressed Seahawk fan, I can say Peyton can't help our sad team at this point. We are several years away from any sort of legitimacy (best case scenario), and he only has a few years left. Plus, our O-line will let him get creamed repeatedly, and he'll be out again. For his own sake, he should go to a better team.

He needs to go to the Arizona Cardinals! By the way, Lions fan here. It just makes more sense and he can remain in a dome where he is used to and in a conference that is warm friendly!

how do you draft matt flynn you asshat?

They did not give Jackson a long term "contract" Everyone knows he is not the answer.8 mil over two seasons is not long term.The team is not at a loss to sit him or cut him. The position is open for competition, It was said since day one. Manning opens the eyes of any team. If healthy enough. Or even 75%. lol Now the real head scratcher here is the talk the he is a Cardinal. Kolbs contract deserves a really?.. really?

GO TO BALTIMORE!

Am I the ONLY who wants to see Peyton with a STAR ON HIS HELMET followed by a Randy Moss signing? #Jerry_Jones

Why not a quick fix? Compete for sure with a proven commodity for two years while he mentors a young qb. What they did in Green Bay with Rodgers was perfect. I'm a Rams fan and would hate to see the rams have to play Manning but the decision is easy. It goes to show the drama surrounds even the most proven athletes. I hope he comes back strong.

Yes it should have been sigh and was fixed

Yeah that should have read "Sign" and was changed

Yeah that should have read "Sign" and was changed

you're right they fixed that. I think Flynn would be a good fit in Seattle.

only if he's healthy.

i vote for this

i would love to have manning in seattle
