Jim Plunkett came off the bench and led the Raiders to two Super Bowls, in the same age frame, with a Pennington shoulder. Surely we aren't so stupid as to compare PM to just any QB. Those of us who have followed the NFL for decades recognize, once in a lifetime talent...if Peyton says he is good to go, we are in the playoffs if we get him. The rest of this is posturing. Manning simply needs to report physically fit, March 8, he has a signed contract. It is not up to Manning to re-negotiate Irsay's agreement.

Don't know if it's allowed, but the election committee will let me know I'm sure. I'm going off ballot and writing in my Candidate Name...in honor of Neptune and our previous elite QB I would name her.........
