A Take On Manning in Denver
Ive already assumed from years and years of experience as a Chiefs fan, Manning is gone. Gone prob to a bitter rival, for myself more hated than Oakland. I keep checking kffl etc but Im wondering why personally I want Manning. Do I just want a superstar? a guy who does commercials? funny...great team player etc. All of the above. When Im also honest with myself, these things bother me.
Prob 28 Mil of cap GONE 36 years old Hasnt played a down in over a year(The physical/fast game has changed) He has got to be gun shy Any team would baby him hit wise, til regular season Hes not great in the cold like Roth or Brady If he goes down, then what? I love this guy for the guy he once was but man, it seriously could be over. Im totally hip with signing Orton, going after Nicks, Tolbert and a few others. This and long term deals make more sense to me than Manning. I think as Chiefs fans I like alot of people wanted to be "recognized" on ESPN nightly for having Peyton as our coverage would be nightly. I feel like we deserved something FINALLY but if he goes down in Denver, and I love the guy, man what are they going to do. At least its not going to be our problem. |

Ok.

That was definitely worth it's own thread.

It's really as simple as this. And this has been covered.
It's either A) Be SB contenders for the next 2-3 years. or B) Be mediocre at QB (Cassel, Orton, take your pick) with the realization that a playoff appearance is about as good as it could ever get. If we sign Peyton and he goes down in week 2, then we're in the same place we'll be if we don't sign him. There is no downside. |
Damnit, looks like the gorillas got out again.

Chiefs fans. Desperately seeking a glass that is half-full, since 1963. :D

Let me the first to say that you can't repeat past glory with a diifferent team. He had magic with Indy but it ends there. If he chooses those assholes there will be no championship, only the pain of KC kicking their ass.
Yes I am pissed he's visiting them at all. He will lose and get hurt on all lother teams but KC! That's why he must come to us. |

Here's an interesting timeline that the guys at IAOFM! put together:
3:29 PM Andrew Mason and friends are staking out the airport for Peyton's arrival. 3:15 PM Mike Lombardi: If the Broncos were to offer former Colts offensive coordinator Tom Moore an full time job, might be a smart play 2:53 PM Unrelated to Manning, Jason Cole says the Broncos figure to be one of the teams interested in signing our old "friend" Cortland Finnegan (second-to-last paragraph). 2:47 PM Bill Williamson: Manning will likely take a physical and throw for the Broncos and the Broncos are expected to make a hard financial pitch to Manning. It is likely that Manning will visit other teams, but the Broncos have to feel good about getting their hands on him now. 2:42 PM ESPN: The sources said the order in which Manning visits specific teams will not reflect the order of his preferred choices because, as one source said, "There is absolutely no preferred choice at this time. This is typical (Manning) doing his own research because it's a first-time and only-time process from a free-agent vantage point. Physically seeing facilities and the geography of cities that he is not acquainted with is part of his own research." 3:00 PM Per Matt Miller, Rich Eisen says Jags owner Shahid Khan "would fly the plane himself" to bring Tebow to Jacksonville 2:59 PM CNBC: Chiefs owner Clark Hunt acknowledges the Chiefs will make a play for Peyton, if it's not too late for them. 2:22 PM Vic Lombardi: Entire Broncos front office will visit with Manning. If they get him, they may be inclined to trade Tebow. Not a certainty. I'm also told the Cardinals are a bigger threat than the Dolphins. Dome. Division. Whisenhunt. Time to work. Last point: the Broncos have been working this Manning project for weeks. They didn't just stumble into this. 2:21 PM Armando Salguero: I've been told Manning's decision is basically Arizona or Miami. Denver's John Elway would have to fashion a DRIVE type rally to get him. 2:38 PM Dave Krieger sees the same reasons we do as to why Denver is a good fit for Peyton. 2:23 PM John Clayton: Manning to Denver makes sense. Tim Tebow is the choice of the fans but Manning is the one name that can trump Tebow. 2:20 PM Chris Mortensen: Manning's trip not a negotiation; does not reflect Broncos as 1st choice, per sources. It's Manning research. Other trips planned. 1:58 PM Vic Lombardi: Just found out when and where Broncos and Manning will meet. Stay tuned to CBS4 all day. I believe the Broncos are the favorites now. 1:57 PM Gary Miller: Manning sweepstakes appears to be down to Broncos, Dolphins and Cardinals. Meeting with Broncos first, doesn't mean they're the favorites. 1:40 PM To take this to the next level (if you dare), follow Mr. B's plane here. (h/t Bert Jan Brands) 1:28 PM Pat Bowlen's plane reportedly dropped the Denver brass off in Stillwater, OK for the OSU pro day. From there, it apparently made a round trip to Miami and is due to land in Stillwater shortly. From there, it is expected to head back to Denver this afternoon or evening, potentially with Manning, Elway, Fox, and Xanders among those on board. 1:20 PM Mike Klis and Woody Paige are reporting that the Broncos and Manning will meet today 1:05 PM Albert Breer: I've heard similar things to what @SI_PeterKing tweeted: Denver's a real player in the Manning Derby. Last night, one executive involved in this quarterback derby provided me these two words: "Watch Denver." 1:02 PM Mike Lombardi says the 49ers, Texans, and Titans are all interested in Manning but are "working behind the scenes for now." 12:30 PM According to Mark Maske, the sense in Washington is the Redskins have a better chance of landing RG3 than they do of signing Manning. 11:20 AM Adam Schefter says the media coverage in Miami this week has been a turnoff to Peyton. 11:15 AM Adam Teicher says Spano's report is false, and that the Chiefs have only expressed interest. 10:49 AM Vic Lombardi: And don't discount the role John Fox will play in this. Manning wants a coach who will let him run the offense. Definitely not Washington. 10:22 AM Gary Miller: Do I believe Broncos "desperately" want Manning? Yes. In their perfect world, they get PM and trade TT. 10:18 AM According to Brandon Spano, the Chiefs offered Manning a contract yesterday. 10:00 AM Peter King: Denver wants Manning "desperately,'' one competitor for Peyton tells me. Now, people, understand this: Miami, Jets, Seattle and I'm sure 3 or 4 others want Manning "desperately'' too. Doesn't give Denver any edge. 9:50 AM Brian Griese told Mike & Mike that Manning to Denver is "very realistic," that John Elway will be the key factor if it happens, and he believes the Broncos would keep Tebow if they were to acquire Peyton. 9:27 AM Adam Schefter said on ESPN earlier this morning that Miami's chances of landing Peyton appear to be dwindling. http://www.itsalloverfatman.com/bron...-rumors-3-9-12 |

Hmmmm. So, if I understand this correctly ... earlier in the week Miami was a sure-fire, lock cinch to land Manning (according to pundits) but now they are basically out of the running (according to pundits) and the goats have emerged as the #1 favorite (according to pundits) while Arizona is now considered out of it (according to pundits) but remains in the running (according to pundits) but he will continue to see other teams (according to pundits) and Washington is completely out of it (according to pundits) along with Houston (according to pundits) although they have reemerged as a possible suitor (according to pundits).
This is like calling a Mexican jumping bean race. FAX |

Quote:
I'm in the Denver airport right now and there's no sign of Manning. If he's here, he didn't take Frontier Airlines, and I would think he would fly them because of the TVs in the seats and the free cookie. |

Yup, pretty much. This thing is all over the place. |

Why do people who rarely ever post suddenly feel their "insight" is too important to simply go into one of the real threads on the subject? It baffles me.
|
3:57 PM From the DP: Rest assured, money will not be an issue, according to an NFL source. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is prepared to do whatever it takes to land Manning...Bowlen took a redeye flight late last night from his Hawaii residence and is at his Dove Valley headquarters office awaiting Manning's arrival. The Broncos do have the financial resources and salary cap room, the source said, and are willing to do what it takes to sign Manning.

With how desperate Denver looks, I can't wait for Manning to NOT sign there.
This is Elway's plan to get rid of Tebow. =/ Damn you Elway! |
holysh*t i just heard jason laconfora on nfl network say that denver had amazing fan support, beautiful stadium, regarding manning. Did someone spike lsd in my coffee today?

Quote:
They do have amazing fan support. You can argue the stadium all you want, it's opinion. But the Broncos are the football team of the area. |
Quote:
Desperate how? They are courting a HOF caliber QB. You think they are going to toss him in the back of a pick up truck and have him stay at Aunt Mable's house until the equipment manager has time to go talk to him or something? |

That's something to be proud of! |

HOME SELLOUT STREAK The Broncos have sold out every home game since the beginning of the 1970 season with the exception of two replacement games played during the 1987 strike (both games were sold out before the strike). Denver has thus sold out 309 consecutive regular-season games, which marks the second-longest home sellout streak in the NFL. With postseason games factored in, the total reaches 324. http://www.denverbroncos.com/news-an...a-64f05afd3bbf |
