Go to the link to read it though. I don't know if we can post full stories anymore.

And for the whiners about all the Manning threads... I don't give a crap.

Judge touched on something I posted about yesterday.

It's not good enough just to chase.

It's going to be a huge letdown if we don't sign Manning and go back to Cassel.

The expectation, fair or not, has been created that the Chiefs can and will get Manning.

Pioli's chance at a second contract is riding on this. No doubt in my mind.

Matt Cassel is the current QB of the Kansas City Chiefs. That's a good enough case for signing Manning right there.

Chiefs fans are pretty used to being let down regularly by this organization. What is one more time?

Pioli has to go all in, If he doesnt win now and win a play off, dude is history. He's window is closing fast.

Do you see them going back to Cassel? Assuming all these efforts rumored tonight are true, do you think they would just go back to him? I would figure they would go after Orton at the very least, if they didn't go after RG3.

Agreed. I don't see how they can go back to Cassel if this falls through at all.

Kyle Orton is the definition of a letdown at QB. Yeah...that's no solution either.

I don't disagree with that. As for Cassel, I just don't see them going back to him. That is assuming all these rumors about how all in they are.

I don't see any problem with Pioli sticking with Cassel. I mean, I see the problem ... but what I don't see is Pioli deciding not to stick with Cassel simply because he was unable to win over Manning or find another option elsewhere.

Frankly, I could easily envision Pioli acquiring Henne, calling it a quarterback competition, and trotting Cassel's dumb ass right back out there this season with Henne as a backup.

I hate it, but I can definitely imagine that happening.

you know when the little plastic things at the end of your shoe laces comes off, and your lace is accidently pulled through the hole? You know how hard it is to get the lace back through the hole?

that's what i'll be like if we don't land Manning and have to go back to Cassel.

Outstanding article! Thanks for posting.

This is, quite frankly, the best description of this whole ordeal.

Bravo!!

You just described 'pushing rope'.

Which is also an idiom for something that made me laugh.

That is a good article. Someone should stick it under the wipers of Clark's/Pioli's limos.
