Chiefs Why Manning ruled out KC... - Page 24

**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.

Lol..that has mostly to do with Tebow. You can't...except..the...fact...that Manning gets rid of the ball so quick that its the very opposite of Tim. Our O-line is going to be beast. Oh...and no more 9 in the box. Then PM with just audible to the run.

Oh Peeeeeeeeyyyytoooon... meet your new best friend!

Study that smile, Peyton. That smile is a brick wall. You stop right where that smile starts!

Peyton won't have time to study Hali's face
He'll be too busy going full blown Haley because of failed assignments

Sing along if you know the words

Boy the way Duane Clemons played
Sacks that made the hit parade.
Fans like us we had it made,
Those were the days

And you knew who they were then,
Donks were trolls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Marvcus Patton again

Didn't need no Charger hate,
Lionel Dalton was overweight.
Gee our old Mike Cloud ran great.
Those were the days

Agreed in hindsight but, this is not what PM conveyed in his first interview. Good for Denver, Good wholesome signing. Any respect though that I had for the guy ended with the 5 and 90 starting point........

He didn't sign with KC because we got cheap on him, simple as that.

Manning didn't want to come here, now he is a donk & his end is near.

Have you seen the video of him chewing Saturday's ass
He's got his plate full

Yup! When he loses, it's a protection problem guys. (Blaming the offensive line) Funny though, PM calls his own plays and protection, is that right?

You are probably right I mean he didn't just sign with the team that had the most salary cap money to spend in the NFL or anything.

**BossChief** · 03-20-2012, 09:59 PM

One thing is for sure.

If I were on the Chiefs, I would take Peytons decision that we weren't good enough for him as reason to "TAKE my respect" from him whenever we play.

Get ****ing lost.

I've said it many times in this thread you dumb **** that I'd be thrilled with Peyton.

Stole? Yeah, if you think so.

Too bad they can't steal offensive talent to matter.

Cassel got $16m the first year, Manning is getting $18m the first year.
