Peyton Manning, one of the hardest working students in the game wants to become the next John Elway and run a football operation. He is bright and passionate and knows the game inside out. He is already spending times observing successful organizations so that he understands what sets them apart. Being a die hard Jets fan for 52 years I endorse the finally signing someone like this to hire the right people and run the show.
I think if Woody Johnson offered Peyton TOTAL CONTROL of the entire Franchise and payment of $25 million a year he would still decline.
If I am Peyton - I'd take the deal in a heartbeat. I mean, I get paid to ruin the very thing I hate. What more can go wrong, eh?
