He never mentioned what number Dawson wore.

But, IIRC, Dawson offered his number to Montana and it was Montana that said no.

Signing Manning is going to make alot of that cap room go away
Cassel should be cut & shouldn't want to stay
He does have some balls

Billick thinks we are one of 3 teams that make sense...

Whoops!:doh!:

I don't think he was saying that Lenny wore #18. Just that 18 is also retired. Emmitt Thomas

18 was clearly Samie Parkers number.

In regard to Jersey Numbers, there's just some that are off limits.

One of my biggest gripes in Madden is signing a LB and then going into the game and seeing a #58 out there.

It shouldnt bother me, and I have friends that dont even care about it, but I end up quitting the game, going into roster and changing the number, bitching about the stupid game and its failure to recognize retired numbers.


I thought it was damn cool of Joe Montana to decline the offer to wear 16.

PBJ First Down Manning PBJ

LMAO

I'm really quite torn on the Manning issue... on one hand, its easy for me to look back at the Montana days & wonder if Peyton could duplicate or top them, which is certainly possible given that he'd be working with MUCH better receivers & te's than Joe.

But, i also want a TRUE QBOTF... the young hotshot 'born & raised' in KC, able to take us into the next 10-13 years and theres always the issue of Mannings neck, how many games might we actually get out of him & how close to his old greatness will he be?

So, so torn...

Hell yes. plenty of upside to this as long as Payton is healthy. He could give us 2 to 3 seasons of competitive possibly championship football, all while training the young man to take over.

I can't even begin to state how much I loathe Payed-a-ton.

Sign him up, oh and shit just got real.

I'm not torn on this at all. I say "Why the hell not?".

What the Chiefs have been doing for the last 20 years hasn't been working. The Chiefs don't have a quarterback of the future. They also don't have a quarterback of the present.

There is NO risk to signing Peyton Manning. They don't have to give up any players. If they sign him and it turns out he can't play, they are no worse off than if they don't sign him. Either way we would start a mediocre quarterback next year.

But if they sign him AND he turns out be healthy enough to be 90% of what he used to be, then it would be a brilliant move and they'd be instant Super Bowl contenders.

Who cares if Peyton won't be here 5 years from now?

From Clark Hunts standpoint, he has to be pushing this along a little.

He spent all that money to offer more luxury boxes and other stuff to the stadium only to have it be only filled to 2/3 capacity and close to empty luxury boxes (owners get 100% of revenue from luxuryboxes) signing Peyton would allow him to fill the stadium to capacity every week, sell out season tickets, charge wharever he would want for the boxes...jersey sales, local tv contracts.

It's simply a move that almost has to happen because it just makes too much sense.

A move like signing Peyton Manning clears Pioli of ALL candy wrapper incidents and would be the most exciting move the Chiefs have made in my lifetime.
