The moment has arrived for the Redskins to finally get serious about their starting quarterback. And that means avoiding the temptation of pursuing Peyton Manning .

He has been the league’s other Manning brother, regularly overshadowed when Peyton was winning an unprecedented four most valuable player awards. Read full article > >
