On Espn they had a reporter from San Fran said they are trying to get a deal done with Alex Smith and that they wouldn't get in a bidding war for Peyton.

He would be a great fit and i'm sure that Peyton would give them a look. The only reason I didn't add them (and I don't know why others haven't brought this up), is because they are only $3.3 million under the cap. They will undoubtedly clear some more up, and they would obviously lose Schuab, but that still doesn't leave room for Manning and Mario Williams. I just don't see them getting their financial ducks in a row in time to make it happen.
But I see your point and think that it would be a great spot for Manning.

1) Yep
2) I'm with ya
3) Wondering why you are so dismissive of Miami's chances to land Manning, and what would make any of the 4 teams you listed below as a better option?
Pulled a few stats from teamrankings.com
Miami was 6th in the league in scoring defense last year.
Kansas City 13th
Denver 26th
Arizona 16th
Tennessee 8th
Scoring Offense
Miami 20th
Kansas City 31st
Denver 25th
Arizona 24th
Tennessee 22nd
Edge Miami
All of teams listed had problems scoring, and with the exception of Tennesee a major factor was an awful TD% in the red zone. A healthy Peyton Manning would help any of the teams listed in that aspect of their game.
TD%
Miami 47%
Kansas City 33.3% (Holy ****)
Denver 44%
Arizona 51%
Tennessee 59%
With the exception of Tennessee there's is a ton of room for improvement...but of those teams Miami got to the red zone more times per game:
Miami 3.3
Kansas City 2.2
Denver 2.4
Arizona 2.8
Tennessee 2.3
Shear volume here suggests to me that many of the pieces are already in place. With a healthy Peyton Manning under center the Fins could be a very dangerous team.
See where I'm coming from?

I feel ya, but I am not discounting Miami for those reasons. The reason I discount them is because they hired Joe Philbin and Mike Sherman. Neither of which, is going to ditch their west coast offense and let Manning run the show. Like I mentioned earlier, I would be shocked if Peyton went somewhere where someone other than himself called the plays or ran the offensive scheme throughout the game. Philbin/Sherman are just not going to do that.
Keep in mind, Peyton has actually ran the offensive side of practice for the Colts for many years. He isn't going to go somewhere where that part changes. At least I dont think so.
Then there is the schedule. The Dolphins have to compete in a very difficult AFC East. The Patriots missed the playoffs in the AFC East two years ago with 11 wins. In either the AFC West or South, Peyton would be practically putting himself in the playoffs by stepping off of the bus. Especially in the West.

I was speaking generally and not being specific about Houston or any other team when talking about the o line. Just think it's something he has to keep in mind wherever he signs.

I was saying the Miami Canes attendence suck and the Doplphins didnt seem to bad on the games I have attended (than again I was usually wasted) . It is true that Florida in general is a fair weather state when it comes to any sports team but the Dolphins by far have the strongest fan base of any S. Fl located franchise (maybe Heat now that Lebron is there). Regardless if Manning comes to Miami which it look like he might, the attendence will rise while Washington will still be stuck with 5'9" Grossman.

Miami would be sick with him. Marshall,Bring Wayne with him and bush catching passes from him. They still need to draft a real running back though.

Manning flying into Denver as we speak.
Elway's courting of Peyton has begun.

The local sports radio is reporting that Archie has flown into Denver and is meeting with Peyton and Elway.

Dude, how about a friendly 100k vbuck bet?
I'll take Miami, you get Denver. If he signs anywhere else it's a push.

Lol, sadly this is very true.
With the amount of quality veterans cut plus RELEASING PEYTON ****ING MANNING, it will be a hideous season...

Being a Colts fan I am starting to get scared of what the future holds. Plus being in Houston they think they are the greatest by winning the conference ONCE

This.
Those dumbasses think that since they've been the "sexy" preseason pick for the last 4 years that they've actually DONE something.
The only thing they've "done" is post a 2-14 record against the Colts since their bastardized inception, including the fact they still haven't beaten Indy at home
