Faulk just suggested that no way Manning chooses an NFC team because it eliminates any chance of both Mannings to play in the same Superbowl. That makes a ton of sense, not happening. While Manning may think his presence puts people in the seats, I can't see him going to any city that has a current attendance issue, BUT, apparently Manning does have a home in Miami? I also don't believe Manning will risk any divisiveness in Denver over Tebow, or even an Elway/Manning tug of war, or the perception of it. I'm not sure about Seattle, that ownership does not interfere but I can't see Manning wanting to be around Tom Cable, or having to cope with throwing in the rain perhaps often. IF the Texans show interest this is where he's going, a roof, a great defense, an offensive minded head coach, a great WR and a chance to stick it to the Colts twice a year. What I don't know is where that team sits financially. As for the Chiefs, some have said that not having a head coach or OC set in their ways makes it easier to adjust a system around Manning. This is a good/bad news situation for the Chiefs. Manning can't pay long, and he can probably count on Romeo (a defensive coach with LOTS of defensive responsibilty now) being around for a couple years. The problem is Dabold, and while that smacks as some trouble, Pioli might be able to lean on him so as to make it work. Romeo might just leave Manning alone which would be good. The fans would love it, but the weather can be a problem, the Chiefs can run the ball which might help with keeping Manning healthy, and the Chiefs can handle the financials. If we have a shot, Manning could insist on OL drafting. It's possible here...but in the end, I think if the Texans want him they will get him. Either way, KC or Houston, he gets to the playoffs.
Comments anyone?
