BTW, this poster is very open to bringing Manning onboard.

Here's jrry32...

'Elway came into Denver and worked with their previous GM (Brian Xanders) before taking the mantle. There's no indication that they're just going to hand Manning the GM job. Rather, my expectation is that he'd be given a title like Elway's (Executive Vice President or something like that) and given significant input on the Rams' direction. Les Snead would continue to do his job".

Me, again:

Where is the sense of bringing Manning in and starting him at the very top? Whether as President, GM, or some other made up title?

Great QB, but as an NFL top exec, a complete unknown. We are talking about our Rams here, fellas. One of only 32 NFL franchises in the world. Peyton, or anyone else, needs to have earned such a position by succeeding in the executive environment first.

That tried and true principal applies from a candy store to General Motors.

Just Management 101, really.
