Chiefs I kinda hope we don't. Blasphemy, I know. - Page 10

Yeah, I think he can still play at a high level for a couple of years...but I'm not sure it's worth it.

I'll support it if it happens, but I'm uneasy about it.

First of all, this never works. Didn't work with Montana, Namath, Moon, Favre, etc. The aging warrior changing teams can make for a fun season (or not) but they never seem to take 'em to the SB. The only one I can think of in modern times is Kurt Warner, and he was literally on the scrap heap for a couple of years first.

I don't like tailoring an entire offense around ONE GUY who won't be here in three or four years. I don't like that it means we're starting over in 2014 or 15.

It'd be one thing if we were bringing in a quality QB to run our system, but we're going to scrap everything and run HIS system. Which will be scrapped in a couple of years also.

I'd rather try to trade up or sign an Orton and draft a Tannehill to try and build our own.

Might as well prepare yourself for it now.

That's exactly what I am trying to do right now is embrace it. I want more than anything to draft and develop a top teir prospect from the draft from the time before ala Joe freaking Montana. So I've waited a long time for this to happen, not happening any time soon it appears so WTF?!? am I suppose to want in the mean time. Peyton Manning is the next best option for right now & hope to TimTebows eyepatch 3:16 that he gets us a Super Bowl win. I'm really opening up to the idea tha Peyton Manning can and will bring us a Super Bowl anything less is uncivilized.

Then we should drive him like one.
