Chiefs Why Manning ruled out KC... - Page 15

**The Bad Guy** · 03-20-2012, 09:29 AM

Apparently, teams were pre-qualified by Manning prior to any visits. When Condon was contacted by the 12 teams, he told them that the contract Manning was starting at was 5 for 90 and going from there.

Teams either had to say in or out at that point.

From there, Manning narrowed his selections.

I was told this from someone yesterday, and then today on Twitter, a great guy to follow, Andrew Brandt commented on it as well. I was leery about what I was told, but this guy confirmed it.

The Chiefs never got past the pre-qualified stage.

Seattle did, but when Manning narrowed his choices, the roster had no appeal.

Just thought I'd post this since we had a lot of discussions about why the Chiefs never got a face to face.

Patriots
Steelers
Ravens
Chiefs
Texans

As of right now, those teams should be favored over the Broncos to start the season, assuming injured players are returning at or near 100%, IMO.

Every year a team gets to start over. The donks will go into this season with a lot more confidence and I would put money on Manning making their OL at least 7 spots better on that list clay posted.

Will it be the 2011 Eagles confidence? Lets hope so.

Keep in mind Pioli is trotting out garbage at the most important position on the field.

The chiefs are a Ferrari with a SMART car engine.

With Matt Cassel, no way I'm favoring the Chiefs over the Broncos.

Elway is looking like a serious baller as a head NFL executive at this point...

How about you wait until Peyton gets another ring before you go annointing Elway as anything as an exec?

It was a great move... basically the only way he could've gotten rid of Tebow without pissing off 70% of the donks fanbase.

This move is comparable to the Raiders getting smart enough to dump Purple Drank.

OR

One day when the Chiefs finally give up on Shitface Matt.

18 million, he doesn't have to play a down. Nice.

It is pretty obvious the Manning has some kind of weird thing for horses. He had a horseshoe on his helmet for a long time, now he is going to be a Bronco. It is the only obvious connection.

If that is the price it took to get Tebow the hell away from my team I'm ok with that.

Ehh.... for all the over-the-top hostility towards Cassel on this board, he's the quarterback who took the team to the playoffs the year before last, and led the team to as many wins as it had compiled in the previous three seasons. If he returns to 2010 form, the Chiefs should win the division.

Yeah, and you don't see anyone rah-rahing Pioli here.

Again, let's see Peyton win, or better dominate, while he's in Denver. If you guys go 9-7 or 10-6 and bow out in the first round, all Elway has done is kick out a fan favorite for an older fan favorite that can't win playoff games when the other guy could.

Elway has sold a ton of season tickets with this move, and jersies. But all Denver has won so far is the offseason.
