Oh wait, I get it. It doesn't count if you're talking about Kurt Warner or Jim Plunkett or Rich Gannon or Doug Williams, guys who came off the scrap heap to take their teams to the Super Bowl. It also doesn't count if you're talking about Joe Montana or Brett Favre, guys who took their teams to within one game of the Super Bowl. Your premise is not only flawed, it's 100% wrong. |

I can kind of see where the OP is coming from. I hate the thought of having a proven commodity at the most important position for 2 or 3 years and giving a team that has the parts to win now the best chance to do that too. Continueing to under achieve and be held back by our QB while hoping only for the long term future is definately the way to go. I mean since when is the NFL a league made up of teams that would like to win now. **** now... give me hope for a maybe that comes later.

It's not Carl's playbook. It's the Hunt playbook.

I expressed a very similar sentiment just the other day and was roundly groin-slapped by practically everybody on this board for heresy. Meanwhile, I suppose that, at this point, it's safe to assume that all these football executives know a hell of a lot more about Manning's muscle/nerve atrophy and regeneration than we mere fans do. I have yet to read a reputable source reporting that he has recovered full use of his throwing arm and can actually perform at a reasonably high level. FAX |

We'd all love to draft a QB. That's not happening. This is the next best thing. Last edited by BigMeatballDave; 03-09-2012 at 12:42 AM.. |

Exactly. Who here would rather have an older QB with problems over a fresh, new talent that could become the franchise QB for 10 to 12 years? It's a moot point. Unless the Chiefs gun in and make a huge move to move up in the draft THIS year, Manning is the best option given our salary cap and our position of drafting to add more weapons....

The Plunkett, Williams, etc. analogies aren't relevant. The proper example of this type of QB situation would be if we brought in David Carr or Brady Quinn and they turned into a top notch QB.
Montana, Favre, and Namath are the aging superstars that made one last go with another team. Kurt Warners sits somewhere in the middle; eventually washed out in St. Louis (something wrong with his hand, I remember) and then was a starter/backup in NY, and finally ended up in Arizona as a vet back-up that was pressed into service when Heisman boy flopped.) I'm just not crazy about renting the aging superstar for a couple of years. I'll take it if it means I don't have to watch Cassel shit his pants anymore. I'll cheer like everyone else. He's never going to feel like its OUR guy, though. He's a rental. I know it's a business, and that players change teams all the time, but I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan. It sucks that we have to rent the Colts' hall of fame QB in order to try to win a Super Bowl. I'd just rather have something other than a two year answer. |
