Some of those flaws are the direct result of having to fit Peyton Manning's contract into the overall team construct.

There's a 3rd too.

But you're just being a bitch so I'm not gonna bother.

Sure, but it's not like they have any kind of an option there. Without Manning, the Broncos are essentially nothing. Just another 6-7 win team out of the playoffs.

What he was, was the same QB he was all year. Throwing tight spirals into tight coverage for TD's. His arm strength was twice that of peyton's. If manning looks at that game honestly, he will know it's time to retire.

You know who Wilson reminds me of? Alex Smith.

It's not really that paying an elite QB is a bad thing, it's just that when you do pay him that, he has to play to that number.

Like a baseball WAR type thing. If I'm paying a guy to produce at a 4 WAR and he's producing a 2 WAR, while I'm still getting production, it's not enough to make up for the other areas where I have to be worse because I don't have the money to pay for top talent.

I don't want him to retire.

I want him to leave a shadow of his former self. Embarrassed. Shamed.

And completely beaten...

And to piggy back off of this. A qb that UNDERSTANDS that he has to have other players to make it work. And wont rape the team for his own benefit.

Like Joe Flacco, like Jay Cutler.

They need to extend Alex for 5 years. He gets it.

The Chiefs will be in contention every single year he is here.

Just build the team around him.

We'll find out soon enough just how "understanding" he is.

Color me skeptical

Sighs. Yup. Even has the every one else gets the credit attitude, the good guy charm, and the selfless soft spoken leadership qualities as well.

Much under appreciated. And Russell Wilson is extremely underrated as well.
