Chiefs Why Manning ruled out KC... - Page 12

**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.

You never-played-the-game dumbshit you don't know a thing except what you read on the intrawebz.

I watched our defense completely skull**** your offensive line Week 17. The grades on PFF only confirm what everyone saw.

FYI, the last time we played Peyton, we knocked his ass around. He averaged 5.5 yards per attempt, had 0 TD passes, and threw 18 incompletions.

Had it not been for Matt Cassel being a piece of shit, we would have beaten Peyton in his own house.

Matt Cassell.

1970.

Keep barking little doggy.

If I were Manning I would have to go to Denver. This division is the most-dysfunctional in the NFL. One team fired a coach it should have kept and has virtually no draft picks next month, one team kept a coach it should have fired and lost key members of its offense in free agency, the third team is probably stuck playing its ineffective qb after making it known it was looking for an upgrade. While the third team is finally making a splash in free agency, the potency of its offense is in doubt as major cogs in the offense are coming back from ACLs.

I think Peyton thinks that unless one of these organizations "get their act together" winning the division and probably getting a bye won't be a problem. (I kinda think Elway want the Broncos to be like NE where winning the AFCE year-in and year-out is a given because in the most part b/c of the superiority at QB, leaving the team to concentrate during the season on getting the # 1 seed. Getting Manning gives Elway 3-4 years to find the right QB long-term.)

When you take these factors into account plus you wouldn't have to beat your little bro to go to the SB unfortunately, as a Chiefs fan, Denver was the only choice for Manning.

Question it all you want.

Arizona, Miami, San Fran, Tennessee, Denver and Seattle were all teams that were willing to meet his financial demands.

You really think Wisenhut and Manning needed a get to know you session? They visited because they told Condon and Manning they would meet the price.

Pioli said today in a conference call that he did talk to Manning and Condon and didn't meet Peyton's plan. Connect the dots.

Do you have a link to the source from whom you are quoting this story?

I have a guy I trust connected to the Chiefs front office. Gave me pretty solid info most of the time.

Yep. Because Tim Tebow=Peyton Manning. I can't believe we have had three Peyton Mannings on this team in only two seasons. John Elway truly is Executive Of The Decade.

Yes, this is clearly the first time I've ever posted something I've been told. It's that far fetched to think someone has connections to a team? Really?

Pasta Little Brioni · 03-20-2012, 12:04 PM

Watching the games, PFF, PHM, all said the same story. Denver's O-line play was shit. Manning will get rid of the ball much quicker however and that'll help.

No offense intended. Like any news story, once there is a second, creditable source to corroborate then it can be viewed as potentially legitimate.

Forgive me if all I see to this point is a Chiefs fan trying to make himself feel better for being left out of a deal he wanted.
