Am I the only one who sees some indecent haste in the way PM is looking for a new team, forcing the market to make a decision in a few days that could have major repercussions both now and in the long term for any team that makes an offer? I mean wouldn't most teams looking at bringing Peyton in want to check the car facts thoroughly first? It's almost like the dealer wants to get the car off the lot as fast as possible before the faults are discovered.
The thought was triggered by a comment on a morning ESPN session yesterday when one of the panel asked the others if they thought Peyton could have hired a better video production crew than the singleton behind the cell phone video of his throwing practices. The lack of definition and depth gives no indication of accuracy or distance. Nothing more was made of the comment and I more or less forgot about it until PM started his whirlwind tour of QB-challenged franchises. Then when he stated that he wanted to pick his new team as early as possible next week it seemed like he was whipping up the buying frenzy so that haste to secure his services would overcome caution about his current and future physical soundness.
Going back to the ESPN show for a second, the other thing that struck me was that both Marcellus Wylie and John Bayless II unhesitatingly assumed that he would fully recover from his injury and surgeries, yet the major problem has been his ability to regenerate nerve tissue - a problem that his brother, Cooper, was unable to overcome eventually retiring from playing football.
But then I would expect these things to be reported, analyzed and synthesized in the car facts, if there was time to obtain and digest.
Apologies for what may appear as cynicism but somehow it all doesn't quite sit right.
