Chiefs Why do we (CPers) know that the Chiefs are making a play for Manning? - Page 2

CrazyHorse · 03-09-2012, 10:13 PM

Normally the Chiefs are so secretive about everything they do. When they made a play for Henderson, we didn't know it until long after the skins signed him. The only benefit to breaking that rule is propaganda.

I hope everything is on the up and up. But looking at the past, and the way the Chiefs do business, there is a very strong chance the Chiefs are blowing smoke up everyones ass. Im not saying there is no offer. But I want to be the last to make one, not the first. The whole thing stinks of bad business and good politics.

If the Chiefs are serious about Manning then we would have more likely waited. But we would have known nothing of it until after the fact. Of that Im pretty certain.

Now that RGIII is gone. They better not screw this up. Because after leading the league in cap room for the last 2 seasons its time for the owner to produce. Spitting bullshit lines like "we are excited about the 2012 Chiefs", he needs to get in touch with reality. If your excited, then your not paying attention.

We're looking at you Clark. This year many of us wont be showing up and buying tickets. If your not serious then sell the team to someone who is. These fans deserve your best effort. We know we're not getting it.

It's more likely they will lie and say they aren't interested and then sneak around secretly to talk to Manning.

Not to mention the risk of public rejection if Manning chooses another team.

They may or may not get Manning but this isn't pretend.

I disagree because we are talking about one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game. It is no brainer and IMO for crappy teams with a lot of money to spend it would be stupid not to say anything.

Peyton is going to get wined & dined in the finest restaurants across america in the next few days
Haley would have him running wind sprints for weeks

I said it in September, this team will get Manning. It is exactly who the Chiefs are. The good news, no draft picks given up to get the broke dick HOF QB.

"He's one of the greatest players in the history of the league," Chiefs owner Clark Hunt told NBC Sports Network. "He's also an incredible person. We feel really good about the team we have in Kansas City going into the 2012 season, but we'll look for any opportunity to improve and, of course, that includes Peyton Manning."

that's really what Clark said? That sounds like bullshit to me, he probably doesn't even know who Peyton Manning is.

I bet Jerry Jones reminded him who he was
right before he told him to pick up his ticket sales
he was tired of carring his team's small market ass
