Why Peyton Manning is a Bad Choice for the Rams

     All of us who have grown to admire Peyton Manning as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time were beyond joyed to see him win a well deserved Superbowl. Not well deserved for the year, but one that was well deserved for his career. If this is the end of Mannings' career it will read like a fairytail, and it should. Peyton Manning deserves to go out on top. Hopefully, his win over the Panthers will be his last hoorah, and in the mind of all his adoring fans, Peyton Manning will have gone out a hero.
     However, while we are ready to move on from Manning, Manning may not be ready to move on from Football. Manning refused to answer after the Superbowl if this was his last game in order to not make any emotional decisions. He did not seem to mind telling everyone to drink Budweiser though. The Broncos have recently announced that they are going to give Manning time to think the decision over.
     There has been another, although very unlikely, scenario. The football Rams have just received approval to move to Los Angeles. Everyone knows Los Angeles needs a lightning team to spark immense interest from the city. The pieces are there for the Rams, but they are missing one key piece. The Rams need a quarterback. The Nick Foles experiment didn't bode well ( the Rams still won the trade though with the Eagles), and Case Keenum is not a long-term answer.
     With all of this, Peyton Manning has been in the midst of rumors that state the Rams are seeking the talents of Manning. Manning, an instant HOFer, would be a great way to bring attention to the Rams in LA. However, he wouldn't help the Rams. This past season was Manning's worst season in his career. He has a 9:17 touchdown to interception ratio. Nick Foles' ratio was 7:10, and his QB rating was actually better than Manning's (69.0 to 67.9).
     Nick Foles isn't the answer, but neither is Manning or Case Keenum. Manning is old now. He is a legend, but legends become legends by being history. Let Manning go in peace, and have the Rams find someone different.
