Yeah, but the point I'm making is that the last good QB decision we made was Joe Montana. Trent Green was pretty good I guess.

We're in a tough spot now, though. The defense is good enough to win in the playoffs. And, I think we have sufficient talent on offense if we patch up a few things. Do we have the time to develop a guy before the window closes on key players? Probably not. And that's what makes this Manning opportunity so attractive.

The half-full part to me is that, should Manning come aboard and lead us deep into the playoffs and even, perhaps, to the Super Bowl, our young team would gain valuable experience and confidence that can pay dividends long after Manning's head is mounted over the bar.

With that in mind, I've decided to support this idea. I don't, however, believe deep in my heart that it will happen, though. Too many past disappointments have jaded my attitude toward this organization. Plus, Manning doesn't strike me as particularly neat and tidy.

yeah...well...I think it IS gonna happen. And I think we'll be a playoff team for a couple of years but not a SB team, and then we'll be rebuilding...again. the cupboard will be emptying, and we'll have to start over-with no QB.

My initial reaction to this idea was highly negative. All I saw was a quarterback whose ability to perform was realistically questionable combined with another potentially long delay in establishing a young, talented quarterback of our own. I felt like every snap that Manning would take as a Chief would be one less snap that a young quarterback could really use to both develop confidence and gain experience.

On top of that, I've hated Peyton Manning ever since he came into the league. I detested everything he stood for and even despised the things he stood on. Plus, all that frantic waving and hopping and skipping and ass waggling behind the LOS after the line was set really pisses me off. I never thought I'd ever have to root for the guy ...

But here we are. Once again. Chiefs fans. Trying to see the wrinkly nipples of happiness through the under-wire brassiere of desperation.

So, I've decided to join the hive-mind on this one ... even though it goes against everything I believe in. Of course, I'd probably sell my mother for a Super Bowl win, so ...

If Peyton plays for 3-4 more years, it's not like when he retires we would be in trouble with talent like Indy was.

This team is talented across the board with players that are in their first five years in the league.

Once Peyton retires, Stanzi will keep the team exciting to watch.

Indeed, his clipboard holding should be amongst the best in the NFL by then.

How is this team not any better with a healthy Manning?

What do you suggest the Chiefs do?

And remember, Luck and RG3 are not available.
