What if Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne sign with Miami. How concerned should we be?

After all, that could be a pretty potent offense with Manning, Bush, Marshall & Wayne. Not too mention a poor man's Welker in Devone Bess.

They would probably become a formidable foe. If that was the case the Pats would have to shore up some of their weaknesses on defense to ensure victory twice a year. They aren't very far away.

The possibility of Manning bringing Wayne along wherever he goes would certainly speed up the process of the new team learning "Peyton's offense."

Speaking of which, I'm curious what some of the more astute watchers here think of that process - -how difficult will it be for Manning's new teammates (and coaches!) to adopt "his" offense?

The Dolphins suddenly become very potent, and Bess suddenly has much better numbers. Manning could potentially bring Pierre Garcon and Jeff Saturday with him as well, though the Colts would be fools of the first order not to resign Saturday.

Bertil

I'm not sure that this phase of his career will be phenomenally successful. He has to jell with a new team, and his skills are teetering on the precipice of mortality. Also, he is one decent hit away from the broadcasting booth! He will have his moments, like Favre had, but it will not end well. It never really does...unless you're John Elway. Let's hope that's how Brady goes into the sunset.

If Manning and Wayne sign in Miami it gives the 'Fins on paper a pretty good O to go along with a good D. But who knows if Manning will ever be the same player he was.

If they sign with the 'Fins I think the Pats need to do 2 things (which they should do anyways)

1) Re-sign Welker and add a WR who can stretch the field. We may be in some shoot outs with the 'Fins so a deep threat WR will help the offence. If we go after Mario Williams we may not have $ for a FA WR so one our 1sts go to the WR position.

2) Shore up the Defense. Manning at full health would have torched our D last season. Mario Williams would be great and hopefully we can sign him. Use the draft to add talent to the secondary. We need a physical corner to match up with B. Marshall. He abused McCourty last year.

Probably not that hard. Manning essentially would run the offense and tell the coaches where he would need help. I'm sure in his case it would be a matter of the team adjusting to Manning's way of doing things instead of vice versa.

We going to take it one game at a time

They would be a though opponent, but still not on the level that the Ravens and Houston will be next season. Besides the Dolphins' cap situation is not as good as the Pats (approx. $15MM under) Even with restructures, cuts, and "rollovers" from last season, they'd have a hard time getting Manning done, let alone Wayne and any others. If they managed to do it, they'd have a scary starting 22, but little behind it. Sort of like a Jets south.

Where he goes is up to Manning. He could do the unthinkable and do play for a poultry $6MM/year just to help his new team out. God knows he doesn't need the money. He needs the rings.
