If I was a betting man, I would say that Peyton Manning is Denver bound. It's the logical fit and solves a lot of John Elway's problems. He gets a legitimate passer and no one can argue about him not starting Tebow with a hall of fame QB on the roster. John Fox has demonstrated that he is willing to change his offense to work with his quarterback. I am sure Fox and Elway would like to give Peyton the keys and let him drive to the play-offs. It's the AFC West for goodness sake. It is a very winnable division.
Now let's talk about my Redskins trading three firsts and a second for the Rams' second pick to get RG3 in the draft. Wow. That is a high price to pay indeed. Steve Czaban has some great analysis on why this is a desperate move by a desperate coach and desperate owner. I agree with his points. But my reaction is simply this: they had to do something. It has been twenty years since Washington has had a QB of note. In this league, without a franchise QB it is very hard to win. Was it poor planning/drafting that got us into this mess? Yes. Do I wish we didn't have to give up so many draft picks? Yes. But we have sucked for so long something had to give. I would rather them place all the chips on RG3 and see what happens vice spending another year waiting for next year to rebuild.
