Now that is the million dollar question.
With Peyton Manning's exit from Indianapolis official, several teams are expected to gamble the NFL's only four-time MVP can rebound from career-threatening spinal-fusion surgery Sept. 8 to help them capture a Lombardi Trophy at the end of the 2012 NFL football season.
Will Peyton Manning become a 2012 offseason version of Drew Brees, the former San Diego Chargers quarterback with the career-threatening shoulder injury whom the New Orleans Saints gambled on in March 2006? Four seasons later, Brees rewarded general manager Mickey Loomis and coach Sean Payton with a Lombardi Trophy.
Or will Manning be a 2012 version of Joe Montana in 1993 and Brett Favre in 2008, franchise icons forced by younger successors to play elsewhere after the Indianapolis Colts got rid of Manning to make way for the possible arrival of Andrew Luck?
Which team is best stocked to win the ultimate gamble on greatness by signing the most compelling potential free agent franchise transformer?
First, we have the Arizona Cardinals. Why it would work? Pro Bowl receiver Larry Fitzgerald would embrace having Manning, and Manning would enjoy having a target every bit as talented as he had with Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne in Indy. Add the fact that the Cardinals have a solid defense and you have yourselves a perfect marriage right there.
The Miami Dolphins can also be an excellent destination...
