Handicapping it because of cap room on this day is not really any better of an indicator because all you have to do is cut a few guys and you suddenly have alot more cap room than you did at the start of the day.

Now that Manning is officially on the market, I think interested teams will start reconfiguring their salary situations (cuts/renegotiating existing deals) to start positioning themselves for Manning.

You look at how far the city of Indianapolis in general has come under Peyton (new stadium, double the hotel rooms down town, other economic growth) that you can't put a price on having that star athlete with the "it" factor that rejuvenates a city.

RGIII has that "it" factor that could allow him to be transcendent beyond just being a QB. He is articulate, he has charisma, and brings the team back to relevance.

Those kind of guys are just few and far between.

We will never know until he is drafted and starts playing, but I think it is just a chance you have to take. You aren't just drafting a QB, but someone who has the potential to be a true face of the franchise super star.

It brought into focus just how desperately this city needs someone like RGIII.
