Cassel-Gueterez-Palko
Anderson-Quinn-
I have no faith in the pair

We have very different ideas of "perfect."

I guess you can compare this to Montana and Favre with the Vikings but I wouldn't.

I think the Chiefs would be better than both of those teams, and better than the Kurt Warner Cardinals. And I think Manning would be better than creaky injured every other game Montana, definitely less mistake prone than Favre. Kurt Warner is debatable.

even Croyle regressed

edit: To be fair, McD couldn't do shit with Quinn either

Might as well. Things aren't gonna change.

My concerns
Manning will be gun shy about first few hits
Wherever he goes, no o-line like he once had
WONT HAVE COLTS TEAM CHEMISTRY
36
Out of a VERY physical/Fast game for a year
All QBs get their head pounded to turf @ least 3X a season
CRAZY EXPECTATIONS
Hes only as good as his new defense

This is slightly off-topic and, for that, I apologize.

But man, The Twilight Zone had some great actors in those days back in the day ...

A very young Robert Duvall is ripping it up right now via the magic of television reruns. They had Karl Malden awhile ago. And Dennis Hopper, too. Like real movie stars and stuff.

Look what Montana did with a lack luster pass receiver core back then. We have a set young Offense, a good Offensive Line, Peyton would have a Running Game for the first time in his career with a healthy Charles. A Good Defense under their belts.
The NFL is set up in 2 year windows. Set yourself up for two year runs. We are set. The Chiefs have never and will never Draft a groom a QBOF. Take the best available at the time, that is Manning right now.
No excuses if the Chiefs don't get this Manning deal done, they aren't serious about winning. No Money Problems, no excuses.

All the years of this team being ridiculously under the salary cap, they owe us this one.

He has always shied away from contact.

And the Colts OL has never been that great. They were pretty good for a 3-4 year run during Manning's prime when they had Glenn, Saturday and Diem all playing at a high level, but the last 3 years or so, meh.

Chiefs were 5th in pass blocking efficiency last year. We get a new RT we're fine.

Please get it through your thick skulls, true fans.

I love the old black and white Twilight Zone episodes. Fantastic.

You guys are killing my Manning buzz.

I think Peyton opens the window that with the talent level we have with him, that we can draft his replacement. Generally those teams trading for the teams mentioned in the OP were not set up like the Chiefs are now. This is a solid team sans QB, NT, RT.

Without this play...

...it might have worked with Montana.

My dad used to curse Kimble Anders all the time because he dropped a TD pass in a big playoff game. I don't remember it though.
