Elway offered Manning a suitcase full of under the table cash, Clark offered to share a 2 for 20 from Appelbees.

I'm not saying the Elway sucks. I'm just not going to slobber over him for fielding a good team led by, oh, I don't know... PEYTON MANNING. He gets credit as a front office personnel manager for his playing career and business acumen. The guy clearly said the right words to Manning to get him to sign there, likely referencing his own brilliant playing career to foster that relationship. We'll see how well his drafts ACTUALLY translate after some more time. Those Chiefs starters we drafted long ago are 1-8 now, but in 2010 they looked just as impressive as Elway's guys do (excluding Von Miller, who is a significant grade above anybody Pioli has drafted). A toxic work environment, shitty coaching staff, and a few slapdicks at QB later, you get the 1-8 product you see before you. John Fox is no Romeo Crennel, so I'm not saying your team would go 1-8 even if Manning got injured or retired. But you'll excuse me if I don't call Elway a ****ing football personnel genius just yet. |

It's all good. We'll have the only young franchise QB in the division after the draft this year.
But, but, but Assweiler!!!! :whackit: |

Boy howdy, you sure told them!! :clap: Feel better?? We suck, we know we suck, and we know our GM is to blame. Sour grapes?? Hardly - most of us would prefer that Elway catches AIDS on his way to a plane crash. Y'alls 1st Super Bowl is tainted - the NFL handed that to you. That was a CATCH at the end of the 1st drive the second half - and you KNOW Gonzalez's feet were in, just like I do. Suck it, Donk. |

Nah, I'm not saying he's a FO genius either. Just saying that he's done a good job so far. There's more to this team than Peyton Manning and Von Miller though, they've made solid additions that don't get much press. And you have to lay the responsibility at Pioli's feet for how the Chiefs are performing. He got his Head Coach (twice) and he got his Quarterback. I would argue that Pioli is at least partially responsible for that toxic work environment himself. |
A mediocre GM can craft some ****ing amazing teams if he's got a real QB and gets lucky on a few drafts.
A great GM can craft some ****ing amazing teams by creating his own QB and luck. A shitty GM will craft an enormous shithole of misery and sadness if he's as bad as Pioli. I doubt Elway is the third type. It's between the first and second types that we don't know. |
