Chiefs: 13-3
Colts: 8-8

Colts would be lucky to get 5 wins.

KC would cruise to 11+.

I believe this is the problem with winning right now, we are winning in spite of Cassel. If we keep doing this, and possibly even make the playoffs with Cassel playing this way, the higher ups will say "See, he is good enough" and not worry about upgrading.

If we're winning and enjoying success, what would be the point of changing? Leadership and chemistry mean nothing?

People are just upset because this team can't and won't win gracefully. There are multiple ways to win games in this league, and if we've found one successful method, why switch? You only risk messing shit up.

Ain't broke, don't fix it. I'll take a stout D and power running game any day of the week.

Exactly. So that being the case, Carl Peterson would still be the President and GM of The Kansas City Chiefs.

This idea that Manning killed their running game is overdone, it's just now their RB's/running game isn't very good and he knows it.

Seriously, the reverse psychology thing is wearing out quick.

Reverse psychology?

There have been plenty of posts to this effect over the last couple weeks. I've simply been convinced by the stronger argument.

with peyton you are a superbowl contender

Trading Cassel for Manning makes the Colts a 4 win team at best. Probably worse than that. The reason they're winning games at all right now is because Manning is a badass.

Yet, he's paid like an elite QB and playing like a damn undrafted rookie FA. If he doesn't startr playing up to his pay scale, they're not keeping him around and paying him his roster bonus.

Once again.

And come playoff time, you're down 6 points with 2 minutes on the clock. The D's on the sideline and the running game's not a realistic option. Do you have faith in Cassell to complete multiple consecutive passes and win the game for us? The win now, pay later approach has kept this team out of the Superbowl for fourty damn years.
