So they were not willing to throw away 28 million, and he is dumb not to have taken a lot less. A smart manager would not give him 1% of that. So all the nuts are no nuts, well he did graduate from UT.

SF seems like a good fit for Peyton. Smith isn’t a franchise QB and JH knows this.

I’ll bet you know squat about me or my motivations to open/comment on threads.

I’m not seeing Peyton’s future including a head coaching job anywhere. Not a knock, just don’t see him that way.

It’s in the Harbaugh’s bloodlines to coach, much like it is in Peyton’s bloodline to QB.

Granted I'm kinda groggy from not getting enough sleep last night, but I'm fuzzy on exactly what you meant. If Peyton had contacted Ryan Grigson (Colts general manager) and said "Instead of the $28 million bonus, I'll settle for $300,000", are you saying Grigson would have been smart to decline?

As for "the nuts are no nuts", I can't figure out what that means. When you get a minute, help me out. Thanks.

You are spot on. All I know is that it is kind of odd to click on, read, and comment on that which you profess to give less than a damn about.

PM isnt going to waste his time coaching, etc. Look for him to go into ownership.

You may be right.

But he seems like such a workaholic about the game, kind of like Belichick.

GMs don’t usually have that approach.

LOL, as Foghorn said one half of nothing plus one half of nothing still equals one whole nothing. And the one % is just a way of saying that something is better than nothing. He should have negotiated a lower amount. Instead of the one whole nothing, if he really like playing there.
