pocket passers will never do well here. we give our qb no time to do anything. even the mighty manning would struggle!
Peyton Manning can't succeed with our line

Would he do better than Drew? Hell, yes. You see, even though Manning isn't mobile, he still has a good ability to buy time in the pocket by recognizing where the rush is coming from and stepping away from it or dumping it off. He also has the intelligence to completely change the play at the line of scrimmage - putting the rest of the offense and himself in position to succeed.
Indianapolis' OL is far from the best in the league and Peyton does quite well with them.

Yes they are both immobile, BUT... the difference is that Drew:- Is a slow decision maker
- Can't make quick touch passes < 20 yards
- Holds the ball too long trying to make the big play
- Has zero confidence left
- Is confused half the time for some reason (can't blame Gilbride for that anymore)
- Won't/can't throw to a space so he waits for the receiver to be 100% wide open before throwing it (a la RJ)

OL are hard to come by this year. Didn't SF sign two retirees?
Also, I read that the OL did pretty well until very late in the NE game . . . after the Henry stumble. For that matter, weren't the Bills in the game up to that point? Weren't bad calls and stumbles just as much a problem as Drew's shortcomings? Didn't Gray keep blitzing despite absolutely no success?
I'd like to see every player keep his head on straight this week. Our roster can stand up to almost any in this league, if they play as mistake-free as the Pats, Cowboys, or Giants. That, my friends, is the big picture, and it's the next practical step the team needs to take.The best is yet to come, and the rest is history. -- Oval Opus

dats why TD needs to sign a running qb and not Matthews or Bledsoe. (I know Losman is one)

HAHA.
Does Peyton Manning hold the ball as long as Drew Bledsoe?NO
Is Peyton Manning as immobile as Drew Bledsoe?NO
Does Drew Bledsoe ever feel the rush coming?NO, Peyton Manning KNOWS when to get the ball out of his hands.
Manning probably wouldn't have as good as numbers as he does in Indianapolis but, the numbers would be similarYou're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
