Kansas City radio host says Chiefs, Condon have spoken about Peyton Manning

Already bet my av.

[beach tribe]

Already bet my av.

And it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that you will lose it.
He's definitely not going anywhere for a while so your avi should be free by then.
Don't worry though I'll wait in line, but you can have mine the day he is fired or resigns without reaching a championship game.

Any other takers? I thought this would be easy considering how he's a garbage GM and all.

[BossChief]

The difference is that Bledsoe was only the starter for 22 games, and his first year he was fairly decent. Above average.

Cassel has been our starter for 49 games and probably will be for at least 60.

And he's been PIOLI'S starter for 64 games.

You may want to research these thugs before you post them.

Parcels drafted Bledsoe #1 overall and then traded a 1st rounder for him in Dallas.

I know it wasn't a first rounder and was a 7th...but Pioli drafted Cassel even though he hadn't played quarterback in college....then traded a second rounder for him here and backed the brinks truck up to his front steps and gave him equal money to Aaron Rogers deal at the time.

The two scenarios have definite similarities.

Hopefully, Stanzi turns out to have the goods to makeit as a starter and plays better in big games than Romo has.

His numbers in college against the top tier teams were pretty damn good and he was 3-0 in bowl games.

[BossChief]

GoChiefs and I have a "full year avatar AND sig" bet going.

For him to win, Jamaal Charles needs to have over 300 carries/catches.

If you want to make a bet with him, make it for username.

[the Talking Can]

Direct quote:

There will be increased competition at every position, including the quarterback position,” Pioli said.

http://arrowheadaddict.com/2012/02/03/scott-pioli-romeo-crennel-indicate-a-qb-competition-is-coming/

You claimed Pioli never said there would be competition at QB, even though it has been talked about over and over on this forum. That makes you either a liar or stupid.

jesus god, your mom weeps for not aborting you when she had the chance

The planet is just a big Pioli hate fest these days with everyone so sure that he's a slack jaw POS. Yet no one wants to stand behind these passionate convictions.

Jeff Saturday(FA): I assure you, Peyton Manning will play in 2012

Posted by Michael David Smith on February 25, 2012, 11:08 AM EST

One longtime friend and teammate is certain that we haven’t seen the last of Peyton Manning.

Colts center Jeff Saturday is working as a Scouting Combine analyst on NFL Network today, and he took a little time out of analyzing offensive linemen to analyze Manning — whom Saturday says is going to be ready to go in plenty of time to play in the 2012 season.

“I talk to him regularly,” Saturday said. “I love 18. He’s my guy so I communicate with him regularly. He’s doing his deal and he’s getting ready and he’ll be playing football. I can assure you of that.”

So all of Manning’s friends, in the NFL and in the media, seem to agree on the public message: Manning will be good to go. But where will he go? On that score, Saturday said he dosen’t know anything more than anyone else.

“I hope it’s here,” Saturday said. “But he’ll be playing somewhere. Absolutely.”

Realistically, there’s almost no chance that Saturday will get his wish of snapping to Manning in Indianapolis again. But Saturday is saying exactly what everyone close to Manning is saying: Manning expects to play.

[O.city]

Here is a question for you guys.


If the Colts decide to go with RGIII, and Luck is the next guy. Would you give up more to get Luck than you would have for RGIII?

[Okie_Apparition]

It won't happen either way
I don't watch much college football
& hearing RGIII was listed as a WR prospect a year ago doesn't inspire the faith that Luck does

[Mr. Laz]

and if Bowe was willing to sign with the Chiefs for a reasonable amount he would already be signed.

[BigMeatballDave]

They wouldn't let Bowe ever make it to free agency if they could do it.

The chiefs have already shown they are willing to pay, even overpay, to keep their good players.

Reading comprehension is your friend, moron. You got caught, and now you are trying to squirm out of it. Just admit you were wrong and you'll stop looking so stupid. Until your next post anyway.

[bricks]

Is Saturday a free agent?

I'd take him. The thought of having both Manning & Saturday is very appealing

[O.city]

The only old guy i really want to take for this team at this point is a quarterback, if one is available.


If we are to have to get a C or G, we should either sign one of the top young free agents or draft him.

Of course that's just IMO.

Same here.

Then we'll hear this:

Yeah, maybe, but I have a hard time believing an "up and coming" coach would ride back seat to one of his players, even Peyton Manning. But for sure, I'd take Peton's play calling abilities over Daboll's.

In the end, you put all of this together, and it equals Peyton not being here. Hope I'm wrong, considering the alternative.

[splatbass]

Do you think Peyton would switch his offensive philosophies for an offshoot of the Patriot offense? Me neither.

I think Daboll would change his offense to fit Manning. He'd be a fool not to.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I have a hard time believing Manning would come to a team that had Brian Daboll as its offensive coordinator.

Why? Daboll got 25 points a game out of a Matt Moore led Dolphins team the final 9 games of the year last year. I'm sure he could make an offense work with Peyton. Silly.

[Bowser]

Do you really thik Peyton, at this point in his career, after all he's accomplished, would be open to learning a new offense from a guy that doesn't come from his offensive "tree"? Neither do I. Look no further than what Daboll did to Favre the one year he had him, and what Favre did the next year witht he Vikings when he went back to what made him great.

I'm not saying Daboll would be "The Reason" Peyton doesn't come here, but he sure as hell doesn't help. And also as I said before, I hope he DOES come here, but I'm pretty much sure as one can be that he won't.

[O.city]

What realy really chaps the ass of Chiefs fans is that.

This season worked out absolutely perfect for Cassel to return next season.

First, he got hurt and didn't have to run the gauntlet of the stretch of our schedule, his two biggest security blankets got hurt for the year early, he won some games against teams who ended up being the shit of the NFL.

Second, the field goal block to keep us from the playoffs by Seymour might have meant more than we are thinking. If that fg is made, we make the playoffs and host a really banged up Steeler team that we almost beat with Palko at qb. If Orton had done that, there is absolutely no chance that you bring Cassel back, or atleast spit this drivel that he is the starter, when you just brought a guy in off the street who absolutely put him to shame, with the same starters.

Sucks.

[Messier]

What teams run the same offense that Manning ran in Indy? We can just narrow it to those teams.

You seriously think that any team will try to force their system on Peyton? The team that gets him will run HIS offense. Not the other way around.

Crennel: Chiefs “would be crazy not to consider” Manning if available

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 25, 2012, 3:26 PM EST

Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli wouldn’t discuss the possibility of adding Peyton Manning when Pioli was asked at the Combine. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel was a little more revealing.

Crennel first gave the requisite tampering disclaimer: “We can’t talk about players under contract with other teams.”

And then he said how he really felt.

“With a talent like that, I would be crazy not to consider it if he’s available. I’ll leave it at that,” Crennel said.

The Chiefs have a lot to consider at quarterback. Crennel said he was interested in bringing Kyle Orton back. If Orton returned, there would be an open competition at quarterback with Matt Cassel.

“I probably wouldn’t be standing here if not for Kyle,” Crennel said.

The Chiefs could also invest a draft pick at the quarterback position. Perhaps the could be a dark horse to trade up in the Robert Griffin sweepstakes. (Yes, it would be difficult for the Chiefs to pull off. But they could be sleepers.)

Crennel came away “very impressed” with Griffin after speaking with him Friday night. He said he could have talked to Griffin for an hour because he was so engaging and thoughtful.

Add up all these comments and it’s clear Matt Cassel has been put on notice. He’s going to face competition at the very least. Perhaps the Chiefs will even bring in a “franchise quarterback” that will make Cassel expendable.

Also said Teicher said they met with Luck and Tannerhill.

[bricks]

Now here is an interesting thing to consider,

If Manning becomes available, do you sign him? Take the chance, gives you the best stop in the league, no doubt, and draft a QB either this year or next year to learn behind him, or, do you trade up and sacrifice a ton of your future to get RGIII?

Thats something to ponder.

You take Manning, no question about it. Hes making all his throws right now, he will be good to go by the start of the season.

He's not wrong. Pioli said "increased competition". That could any number of things. The most bothersome thing it implies is that he believes there has been some level of competition for the QB spot in the past. Even if there was, it doesn't say how "increased" this competition will be. It does not directly guarantee what I would call "a QB competition".

It's splitting hairs, sure, but it's exactly the kind of psuedo-political doublespeak we've been getting from Pioli since he was hired. Pioli's assurance was basically meaningless.

Crennel talks Manning, RG3 and other QBs

February, 25, 2012 Feb 25 4:35PM(ET)
By Bill Williamson

INDIANAPOLIS -- On Friday, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said that the team’s quarterback job is not open and Matt Cassel is the starter.

However, Pioli said, there will be competition at the position.

Saturday, Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel also said that Cassel is the starter. But he made it clear that the team will explore all options.

Most interestingly, Crennel made it clear that if a certain future first-ballot Hall of Famer who resides in this city becomes available, the Chiefs coach will then become interested in him. Crennel acknowledged the league’s tampering rules, but he did say this when asked if he’d have interest in Peyton Manning if he is cut by the Colts as expected: “With a talent like that, I would be crazy not to consider it if he’s available. I’ll leave it at that.”

There was a report out of Kansas City that said the Chiefs have already talked to Manning’s agent. That is against league rules. The Chiefs do, though, have the financial means to sign Manning. Friday, Pioli did not address the subject because of the tampering rules.

Friday night, Crennel said the Chiefs talked to the three top quarterback prospects, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Ryan Tannehill. The interviews with Luck and Griffin were likely due diligence efforts because the Chiefs won't be in position to draft either man. Tannehill will likely be available in the second half of the first round, so Kansas City, which has the No. 11 pick, could potentially trade down and get him. Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler said he met with the Chiefs. He is likely to be taken in the second or third round.

Crennel raved about Griffin and said the time with the Baylor player was “special.”

Like Pioli, Crennel said the team would like to have Kyle Orton back. Crennel made Orton the starter when he took over as the interim coach in Week 15. The Chiefs were 2-1. Once again, Crennel credited Orton for helping him get the permanent job.

I get the feeling -- and it is just a feeling -- that Crennel would like to re-sign Orton and give him every opportunity to beat out Cassel.

Crennel did acknowledge that the relationship between new Kansas City offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and Miami free agent Chad Henne could make Henne a potential target if he hits free agency. Daboll was the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator last year.

Don’t discount the possibility of Brady Quinn being a backup option in Kansas City. The free agent played for Crennel in Cleveland.

There are a lot of moving parts in Kansas City at this position and it will be fascinating to see how it all plays out.

Pioli: Cassel is Chiefs starting QB
Terry McCormick, The National Football Post
2 hours, 36 minutes ago


tweet1EmailPrintINDIANAPOLIS _ Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli made it clear Friday at the NFL Combine – Matt Cassel is his starting quarterback.


The competition that Cassel will face, says Pioli, is no different than the competition any other player on the Chiefs roster will face in trying to hold off competitors.


“I wouldn't say it's open. I'd say Matt's our starting quarterback, and everyone knows that,” Pioli said. “There's going to be competition. I know everyone focuses on the quarterback competition, but I want to be clear in this. When we've said there's going to be competition, there's going to competition at every position. When we talk about that, it's not just exclusive to the quarterback position or Matt Cassel. In order to get better as a football team, you need to get better at every single position.'


Pioli wouldn't address a report that had the Chiefs interested in Peyton Manning and and when he becomes available.


As for Kyle Orton, whom the Chiefs claimed off waivers from Denver late in the year, Pioli said, “We've talked to Kyle and talked to Kyle's people. It sounds like Kyle would like to be with us. It's just a matter of seeing if things arrive at the right place.”


I don't think this says in any way that Cassel is the starting QB next year. Are you completely ignoring the entire rest of the post?

Let's try bolding these sentences instead:

Sounds to me like all he is saying is that right now Mark Cassell is the starting QB of the Chiefs. He then states at least a couple of times that there absolutely is going to be competition for the position.

Seems like some little pissant blogger was trying to generate some hits to me.

Yeah, if we've talked to Luck, RG3, Tannehill and Osweiler it's pretty clear we're looking at all the early options at QB.

Maybe Pioli knows what most of us here do per QB's....

I'm going to throw this out there now, we're taking a QB early in this draft.

[Hammock Parties]

LMAO

Amazing. Some of you just love sucking the shit right out of Pioli's bronzed asshole...

[kysirsoze]

So how many GM's are actually going to tell the media what they are really going to do?

bunch of crying bitches ... seriously

Not crying, but thanks for avoiding the question. The point is a lot of posters are beating the QB competition drum just because Pioli said what he said. His actions have consistently shown otherwise.

[007]

I'm going to wait until after the draft before I blow a gasket on all this shit.

[Bewbies]

LMAO

We're not interviewing all the top QB prospects in order to protect Cassel's job.

I've been as critical as anybody (reasonable) about how Pioli has handled the QB s(h)itution here. Thus far he's sucked. But outside of trading up for Stafford, which probably was as much as an option as anyone trading up to get Luck this year, we haven't really missed on anyone. Maybe Dalton...

We haven't had much opportunity to get anyone yet, perhaps Pioli sees this as a year that he can change that?

The Chiefs history is what it is, but I don't really remember any off seasons where we have read KC is talking to ALL of the QB's expected to be drafted early...

[Titty Meat]

I'm not going overboard, I've ****ing had it with this lying, incompetent sack of shit.

It's bad enough that he's incompetent (and arrogant about it), but now he wants to add being a deceitful charlatan to his resume.

Scott Pioli needs to be fed to the almighty Sarlacc so he can learn a new definition of pain and suffering as he is slowly digested over 1,000 years.

Fuck Matt Cassel. I don't even want him to run water bottles out to the huddle because Barry Richardson is winded. Just fuck Matt Cassel.

He's had three years and he's already bungling this offseason.

Seen enough.

What has he done to bungle this offseason? Please be specific. Reality, not imagined. Act like the journalist you think you are.

Yeah when I asked him to elaborate earlier he just said die. He doesn't have the slightest fuck what hes talking about.

I can only speculate here, but I imagine it has something to do with the fact that neither Bowe or Carr are signed, and it almost certainly appears Carr is gone.

Show me where I've ever speculated on anything without something to base that specualtion on.

But that 2nd to last sentence is complete and utter bullshit, as in the last sentence, obviously.

Dumb. Bowe is better than Garcon.

It's not even close either.... Bowe is WAY better than Garcon.

Thanks for the breakdown. Just because I think you're trash dont mean I hate on everyone. To be honest, I dont crack on anyone who didn't crack on me 1st. Do you feel like you shoud just have a free run and get away with it? This aint Moma's house buddy.

To be honest, I have exactly as many friends on here as I want. I choose posters who have a little more going for them than you do. Just because I cram my foot down your fucking throat now and then dont mean I do it to everyone. Anyone who thinks that there is a living person that wants to hear what you have to say to the tune of 120,000 posts dont need to be judging someone else for thier contribution to this forum.

I'll give your weak opinion some consideration though. If it will make you feel better.

Everything you say is opinion based from opinion. Thats speculation. Dont get all bent out of shape. I should have just let it go. I can see we're about to go off the deep end.

Forget I said it.

See what I mean. No body rang your bell. Nobody gives a damn what you have to say here. What gene is it that makes you feel like people need your input? You just jump on. Go play fuckstick.

You're a tool.

There are times that I speculate on how some things might play out based on my opinion, but there are are far more instances of specualtion based on the things that are going on around a situation.

The fact that you think I never say anything psoitive tells me you the kind of person that OTWP gets pissed about.

You're a poster who argues based on the poster, not the post.

In short, you're a uesless prick.

Yes.

But I argue posts as well. When I think Im talking to someone who can handle it. Judging you going off the deep end as I predicted, surely you can see the merit in what Ive said.

Like I said, I recind the comment. Maybe you do have something positive to say. I just dont catch it very often if ever. If Im wrong, I have no problem talking back the comment. No need to start the name calling BS.

Do you consider that bungled? I don't think we can consider it bungled until we know what is going to happen. Jumping the gun a little, don't you think?

I know knee jerk, impatient reactions are the CP norm, but calling it bungled is a little premature.

[CrazyHorse]

Yes. But when you start to believe your opinion is fact, then you set yourself up to be called out.

I'm not sure bungled is the right word.

I do think had Pioli worked on locking up Carr at the same time that he locked up Flowrers, he would not only have avoided this situation, he would have gotten for less.

I vaguely remember reading something that essentially stated that Carr was amenable to working a deal at that time, but that could be erronneus info, so I'm not going to get worked up about it.

I'd hate to see Carr go, but if it happens, it seems Pioli has a fair backup plan in place, so I won't lose any sleep.

And to your later post about opinions as fact, I have never once said that my opinion is fact, but I stand behind my opinions adamantly.

I have also eaten the crow willingly when my opinions have been proved wrong.

Yes, bungled is a strong and early word. Even if Carr leaves (which is likely) nothing has been "bungled". They made a choice. You can say it was a bad choice, but they have a amount they think Carr is worth, and I'm guessing they already know he's going to get offered more than they think he's worth. That's not bungled.

And if Bowe is franchised, as he probably will be, that isn't a bungle either.

I think Carr is amenable to working out a deal now, it just probably is for more than Flowers, and more than the Chiefs want to pay.

Pioli has been quite good at getting his own players locked up, I don't doubt Carr was in the plan, but Carr has played himself to a number one CB price. I don't blame Pioli for not wanting to pay two CBs # 1 money.

I agree with that, which is why I say, if it's true that Carr was willing to work out a deal at the same time that Flowers got his, it would have been wise to get it taken care of then, because he hadn't yet achieved that #1 CB money status.

And again, I don't know if it's true that he was willing, I'm only speculating based on a vague remebrance of a report from that time.

Since the Falcons tagged Grimes today...the value for Carr just went way up. No way he doesn't test the waters now. Someone will gave him #1 money.
