All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Greg Roman and The 49ers Wanted To Sign Peyton Manning In 2012
Those with longish memories might recall that there was a period back in March when the 49ers were part of the hunt for Peyton Manning's services. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh threw with Manning, the 49ers also reportedly gave him a physical and Peyton Manning told Peter King that telling Harbaugh he…
Harbaugh said the team’s “evaluation” of Manning was designed with the intention of having both Manning and Smith on the team next year. “Were we out there seeing and evaluating if we could have them both? Heck yeah."
So your point is...Manning had the hots for Munchak.
Point is that Greg Roman thought Peyton Manning would fit his system. If Roman didn't think Manning fit his style of offense, the 49ers would have never went out of their way to try and sign him.

Here’s Roman on meeting – and “evaluating” – Manning: What were your impressions of Peyton Manning when you met with him? GR: First-class all the way. Everything you’d expect him to be. Intelligent. Smart. Football junkie. Just everything you’d think. He was a pretty impressive guy. Do you have a chance to sit and talk football? GR: Sure did.
...Roman was unprompted today when he characterized the 49ers’ interest in Manning as an evaluation. Similarly, he implied their interest in signing Manning wasn’t piqued after he and Harbaugh saw the future Hall of Famer work out at Duke.
Doesn't sound like Roman wanted to sign him, really.

All in all though, it gave me a retro regret the Bills did not get Kaepernick in 2011 for Gailey's system here though Gailey would have dorked up with his DC's anyway. Thinking of Kaepernick in a Gailey offense just gives me warm fuzzy weekly 40 point game feelings. So then they would have lost giving up more than 40 every week but still...

The 49ers were desperately trying to downplay the fact that they wanted to sign Manning without offending Alex Smith.
Roman and Harbaugh sounded like two politicians on the campaign trail for Peyton Manning.

Holy crap, what are the Broncos waiting for? Manning met with Elway and the Bronco's brass, said he's, "mentally and physically," ready to go for 2015 and now all we hear are crickets in Denver.
I'm skeptical too, Mace.
"Peyton Manning Says He's Coming Back!"
That should be the main headline at broncos.com, right?
Where is it? The Broncos haven't even come out and said Manning is their starting QB in 2015.
Lay all the talk to rest and release a simple headline saying Manning is the starter.
