Picture
GUTHRIE, OKLA. — The NFC's Hard Targets traded away QB Peyton Manning today, likely ending Manning's 10-year reign over the OIL. Sure, Cobb could still start him. But the days of Peyton leading teams to the playoffs are over. He's done. He'll never be what he was, in the NFL or the OIL (Peyton is currently a backup in the AFC and in danger of losing his job in the PFC as well). He finishes his OIL career with a record four championships (three NFC; one AFC). The Dogs of War won a championship with Manning in 2013, so they must be hoping to regain some of that mojo. But Cobb traded away Alshon Jeffery (who, although he missed four straight games, went off for 28 points today) for the aged QB. Does Cobb know something we don't? Not likely. When reached for comment, all Finch could say was:

Peyton Through the Years

2006: Lucky Enuf (OIL Bowl champions)
2011: Dogs of War (on IR all season)
2012: Arrogant Americans (OIL Bowl champions)
2013: Dogs of War (OIL Bowl champions). Cobb hopes to regain the 2013 mojo with this trade.
2014: War Pony (Thunder Bowl champions)
2015: Manning walks off the field as a Hard Target for the last time.
