Ross infatuated with signing Peyton Manning

[Daytona Fin]

all this talk of risks w/ peyton is fine but i think the biggest risk would be signing flynn to be the future qb.

Honestly, so am I...

Not that I'd mind passing up Flynn but for the owner to usurp Philbin to dictate that it's all in .. or nothing on Manning is organizationally not a good thing.. not good at all.

So Ross doesn't have the right to pick the QB for his team? And Philbin does? Is it not possible that they both had a conversation about this prior to Philbin being hired? What if its a consensus within the organization? Still not a good thing huh?

and since we're surmising beyond the article's facts to conveniently form-fit our agendi, suppose he didn't, eh? Still a good thing?

And if we lose out on Manning then we just have to move on. It wont be a major blow. If anything, our experience to losing out on coaching candidates should serve us well in how to deal with a highly touted signing.

Im not surmising anything. Im dealing with hypotheticals. And I have no agenda.

If Manning is healthy and reports show hes 100% i have no doubt in my mind that Stephen Ross WILL NOT BE OUTBID BY ANYONE.

Except by people with more cap room.

if you don't think miami can be outbid you better hope daniel snyder doesn't get involved...

I am sure Mr Ross has not said a single word to Barry Jackson about Peyton Manning. Tampering charges are very serious and could cost the team big time. Just another columnist shooting their mouth off.

Besides all that, when is Ross going to learn to play his cards close to his chest? He always comes off as
Desperado. Isn't he supposed to be a good businessman??
