One of the points that Keitzman was trying to make, it seemeed to be an important story that was missed when people were trying to figure out where Manning might go when he was a free agent.

Me, nope, I was 50 / 50 either way not knowing his injury. But getting rid of Cassel was intriguing.

So one would have to ask, if having a 70% Manning better than a 100% Cassel ? Look at the $$$ Denver paid for a questionable Manning?

Oh absolutely not. Just look at all these angry posts telling you they aren't.

In a word ? No! We have a career back up starting.

Would a 70% Manning be very lethal with our team, Yes! It didn't work out and IMHO, I think it has more to do with Scott Pioli & Tom Condon than it did Manning.

Oh well, it's on now, the rivalry just got nastier now for some Chiefs fans.

Can we stop with the childish remarks? A HOF QB with nothing left to prove comes back to play with a neck injury and doesn't care about winning?

Manning going to Denver proves only that Denver satisfied the largest percentage of his need factors. No more, no less. No insult to any other team or city.

Potential to win, front office/coaching staff, facilities, salary, environment conducive to his wife and kids, comfort level, friends in town, and whatever else he factored in.

I heard that the Chiefs went in talking money first (even made the first offer), whereas Peyton wanted to talk money last, and talk programs and ideas first. What I heard was that while money was obviously important, he didn't want to lead off talking about money and turn it into a bidding war. Instead, he wanted to get to know the people and organizations involved, and then once he found the right one (or two), THEN talk about the money.
