Why Manning ruled out KC...

[The Bad Guy]

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.

The problem you're going to have now is that Franklin is going to be exposed even more. You aren't gonna be running a high school option offense anymore. Manning is going to want to drop back at least 50 percent of the time, and he's gonna want time to chuck it down the field.

Sure, I hope he does want to chuck it. He's a pretty smart guy though. I think he'll take advantage of the fact that we have two very good run blocking OT's to set that up. He's not Dan Marino.

He's going to be running HIS offense. Do you really think he's going to want to run the ball that much? And with what at RB? McGahee and Moreno?

Yeah me too. No way Peyton is playing in five years so I hope the Broncos had to make it 90 million guaranteed

His Offense is bringing multiple plays into the huddle on every down. Pass and run. Then calling what the D gave him. I don't know if you ever noticed this, but he was really good at it.

He was really good at throwing 600 times a year. Which is what he's gonna do in Denver, because your secondary sucks and you don't stop the run.

Hell, he had 679 attempts in 2010.

Cool. A lot of good things tend to happen when he throws the ball.

Yeah, they graded out negatively in run blocking, too.

There's a reason why your Donks couldn't run when Orton was in the lineup. Option plays weren't in the playbook.

When Tebow came in your running game picked up. He's gone now. Those shitty run blockers are gonna have to actually block now.

Denver was actually the worst run blocking team in the NFL last season. By 40 full points. Clady was ranked 73rd in run blocking. Franklin was 40th, though, so you should run right.

I think having Helton and friends around in Denver helped seal the deal.

Money would be the only reason you choose denver over SF or Tenn.
Man, I hope he gets his football career ended, not where it will affect him later in life, just enough to end football playing for that vile team.

So how many donk fans turn on teblow?

You should really try watching a football team play. It's fun.

"Graded out. 40 full points. 73rd. 40th."
