08:37 AM ET 03.18 | How could the Dolphins, who initially expressed confidence about landing Peyton Manning, so miscalculated their chances? Here's how: They overestimated the importance of location and the fact he has a condo here; believed he would be more enamored with the roster than he was; didn't expect Denver and Tennessee to be as aggressive; and way underestimated the importance to Manning of having people around him that he knows and with whom he is comfortable.

This is a team that once chose Culpepper over Brees in FA.
I say they have a plan and they are sticking to it.

Probably didn't help that they traded their best receiver away, regardless of Brandon Marshall's off field behavior.

from the article -
'Here???s the irony: Manning has a much stronger relationship with Bill Parcells, who???s a confidante of Manning???s, than anyone with the Dolphins. If Parcells were still with the Dolphins, they would have had a much better shot. The teams Miami always feared were the Texans and 49ers.'

Please hurry and choose a team Peyton so we can see how Goodall handles the Saints.
Mangler.

Yes. He traded a second round pick for him because he thought Brees could not recover from his shoulder injury in 2006.

The Titans are a team that is perfect for Manning. He would stay in the AFC and play the Colts twice a season and he is already a hero in Tennessee going back to his college days.

Marshall is talented but not a team player. Miami did the right thing in trading him away.

I think they thought that Manning, along with Wayne and Clark, would come to Miami in some sort of package deal. Wrong!

I'd like to see the 49ers sign Manning. Then, they can say that the two greatest QBs of all time were 49ers during part of their careers.

We'll see. Never underestimate the bungling abilities of the 'Fins.

Getting the feeling that the workouts aren't going as good as promised. Would Indy part with Manning if he had that much left.
