Jeff Fishers NFL bucket list

by Xmisto on Jan 29, 2012 4:33 PM CST

I was reading about Peyton Manning and the Colts situation. In one year the Colts organization cleaned up a mess that was not there in the first place. Then I thought a little about the situation he's in and realized he's more than likely on his way out of the Colts building. I remember Jeff Fishers little Colts jersey stint at the fundraiser for Nashville's Rocketown. Then I realized Sam Bradford has little to no competition for his job, which is what I firmly believe was our problem in the first place. He came into an organization the future and was paid a hefty paycheck he has not earned. Yeah, he had a great rookie year, but that rookie year was overshadowed by his awful 2nd year. It's obvious, he needs competition. Releasing Thad Lewis was the biggest mistake of the 2011 football season. We eliminate his competition and have some unproven veteran to be his backup, which was not a good move.

So I'm here to tell you all Peyton Manning should be on Jeff Fishers bucket list. I know it's a long shot, but trading or releasing some players not deserving of huge paychecks, to get a guy like Peyton Manning to finish his career as a Ram would be wishful thinking, but I think someone like him would help Bradford better himself as a player and a leader and rally his team. Peyton Manning was obviously the CORE of the Colts and they are destroying it over an unproven Andrew Luck, who could for all we know end up a David Carr. Lets give Bradford something to worry about and be a successful team, while we help him become a better player. Peyton may be a little expensive, but he's still has some good years.

I'd like to see this kind of Bradford for our team(look at the video below), get him fired up, make him worry about his starting job, have him step it up, don't spoil the guy anymore. Give him a good backup or something to worry about.

Is this Billy D?

I really hope this does’t happen unless Peyton is coming to the Rams to be Bradford’s QB coach. Also who would we sit Peyton or Bradford because one would be making a ton of money for sitting on the bench. I mean to me this sounds like something Billy Devaney would do, instead of picking up players that we need we should just spend a crap ton of money at the one position where we already have a ton of money tied up.

This is obviously not going to happen

but I thought it’d be fun to write this. Maybe he’d take a huge pay cut or Kroenke would work some magic. If Billy Devaney made this move, it’d be one of his BEST weird moves he’d ever make, you know you’d win with Peyton as your QB anyways. Bradford is over paid tho.

Abu Nation!

Yes I agree that Bradford is completely over paid but I am still hoping that he can become an elite QB, on a side note I would love Bradford learning the QB position from Peyton and it would be something to see Peyton in a Rams uni.

what the hell, look I can understand wanting him on the team I mean hell the guy is

a fucking legend and I would love sam learning under him but the reality is his salary would make Bradford’s salary cheap in comparison and that’s just on the financial side of it. I believe that yes the Rams would dominate the west if peyton was on the team but. and it’s big would it would be worth it financially. I respect him enormously hell he took a crappy franchise prior to his arrival and turned it into a legend he literally coached the team and from what I am understanding both on and during practices he was the coach but I just don’t think it would be worth the financial risk to the team because him being on the team means forget about getting another number one in any POSITION let alone getting anybody else.

Is this Bleacher Report Writer Cliff Potter? (I believe that was his name)

but he proposed getting manning on the Rams but it’s insane due to how much money would be tied up at the QB position and would make no sense.
