...just like Elway?

Bill Polian: Peyton Manning could be a G.M. “immediately”

IcyPatriot · Feb 10, 2016

This thread is going well .......... not.

Manning would give Polian a run for his more probable than not press box tantrums...

Joker · Feb 10, 2016

Good Lord I hope so. That friggin' moron would make a roster with 12 WR's on it.

I think it's more like people are dumbfounded...as in "huh?"

So, you either ignore it (as most seem to have done) or you write something absurd (you can always rely on Joker)...

time to move on...

I can't imagine he is qualified.

I think he's better suited to the insurance business ... Mutual of OMAHA!

Or, maybe this: Forehead advertising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Okay I will write something somewhat intelligent ...

If he becomes GM then he has to abandon his commercial endorsements?

If he has to choose one or the other IMO he chooses the commercials ... he enjoys them it seems.

Who cares?

No, he'll just become a full time spokesman for Budweiser, Papa John's, Nation Wide, Nike, Gatorade, Microsoft, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Verizon, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, Buick, GE, Amazon, Tampax, IBM, Under Armor, Heinz Ketchup, American Express, Walgreens, Direct TV, Hellmann's Mayonnaise, JPMorgan Chase, Price Waterhouse Coopers, HGH, Snickers, Green Giant, Bob's Furniture, Swatch, Levi Jeans, Poland Spring, Macy's, McDonalds, Federal Express, Campbell's Soup, Tropicana, Disney World, Oscar Mayer, American Airlines, Kellogg's, Taco Bell, Hood Dairy, Dow Chemical, 7-Eleven...just to name a few.

Agreed.

Leave it to Bill Polian to come up with a ridiculous statement like this one. Who the hell would want to coddle Peyton Manning through his first walk through as a bona fide NFL GM?

I find it much more likely that he'll take a cushy job as a talking head on CBS.

bill belichick as a GM > polian

I am shocked that Bill Polian is talking up Peyton Manning. He never does that.

If there was a discussion of the qualifications needed for a manned mission to Mars or who would be the best person to broker a lasting peace agreement in a troubled area in the world, Polian would recommend Manning.

Also, didn't Goodell mention the possibility of a "Rooney rule" for interviewing women for front office jobs over the weekend? Polian's like "Forget that. Just give a job to Peyton. Don't even bother with an interview."

I'm guessing Polian is very familiar with "giving a job to Peyton." Pucker up, Billy- boy. You know the drill.

With all the money they have accumulated, with their strong connections throughout and around the NFL, and of course the name "Manning" - could you not see the trio putting together an ownership group?

DarrylS · Feb 11, 2016

Why would Peyton* become a GM, he has amassed millions and his brand is still viable in the TV advertisement world???..

He can retire to a less demanding life somewhere in the deep south and he and Archie can discuss how great they were.. then Jim Nantz can come down for the weekend and agree with them.

james87654 · Feb 11, 2016

i doubt it

too much work......he will just watch his money roll in and take it easy

IcyPatriot · Feb 11, 2016

Word has it Manning's next gig is going to be the
exclusive spokesman for official NFL licensed duck calls.

Well, putting aside the examples that are humorous (HGH), already represented by Brady (Under Armor, where he is also has an equity stake) and clear competitors of one another (one or another of the fast food joints and a couple of others where he couldn't represent both at the same time)...my response would be "Why not? It's easy money."
