NFL Roundup 3/10/12

Peyton Manning Visits Denver Broncos
     A round of applause to the Denver Broncos everyone. Think about it, what better way to squash all the talk about Tim Tebow then to go out and make an offer to Peyton Manning. It's not disrespectful to Tim Tebow, you're trying to bring in one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and if you are guaranteed that Manning is at least 95 perecent healthy, you have to try to bring him in. Look, the Broncos aren't trying to acquire Chad Henne or Jason Campbell, it's Peyton Manning. That way, you aren't putting on the impression that you don't want Tim Tebow to succeed, you're simply bringing in one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Hats off to the Broncos for making this attempt.


Washington Redskins give up three first round picks for Robert Griffin III
      Another round of applause to the Washington Redskins because I think it's their first good decision since the early 1990's. How many mid-first round picks really turn out to be impact players. Every so often, maybe some of the time you really can get a great player. So by doing this, the Redskins, on paper, aren't losing that much while they gain a dynamic and explosive franchise quarterback in Robert Griffin. I know what I'm about to write isn't a huge deal and it shouldn't effect how you run your franchise, but the Redskins now have an identity. They're Robert Griffin's team now and just like I said about Cam Newton and the Panthers last year, Griffin will make the Redskins prominent once again by putting the 'Skins on the map. 


New York Jets give Mark Sanchez a Contract Extension
     Why? Why should Mark Sanchez be giving long term security? I understand he has won four road playoff games and I give him a lot of credit for that, but he has been so shaky, particularly last year that the question should be whether Sanchez is your franchise quarterback. In my opinion, the Jets should stick with Sanchez in the short term because he has proven to win games for you in the postseason. Also, the Jets have a few problems besides quarterback. That being said, I think Sanchez isn't exactly looking over his shoulder worried that he may lose his job to Mark Brunell. I'm not a Sanchez guy and I just don't understand what the Jets are thinking. But hey, as a Patriots fan, this is hilarious.
