Football Let's say the unthinkable happens.

So you have to ask why would a guy at his age risk playing out the season(especially given his neck issue) and possibly taking a serious injury that would cost him a $75 to $100 million contract with probably $50 plus million garanteed?

Normally it would be about $$$$ but the Colts weren't even going to put up a fight. They were pretty much willing to roll over and give him a blank check (within reason). And he then threw his name in with Brady and Brees on the lawsuit hoping to become an UFA.

Again wanting to become an UFA would be an advantage to gain financial leverage but he doesn't need any as they want to make him the highest paid.

So what do you think he is angling for? My guess is to get out of town and go to a place where he can win a few more rings before retiring is my guess.

Let's say Manning wants out. Colts have the franchise tag on him currently.

The question is: are you willing to trade for Peyton Manning.

35 year old first-ballot hall of famer. Has neck issues, but otherwise should be performing at least two, if not three full 16-game seasons and postseasons at a Top 3 level.

Well here's what the question should be, because we'd all like to trade for Peyton Manning """""if the price was right""""".

So what's the right price for you?

Peyton as a Chief would command a huge salary that would mean only middling players would be acquirable.

Of course, it's possible that really good WRs flock to KC once we trade for him hypothetically and play for pennies on the dollar. It's happened before.

So you gotta say that, with our current team, Manning's presence makes us a Super Bowl contender for two years, maybe three.

I think that's worth a first rounder in 2012, a third rounder in 2012, and a second rounder in 2013. Toss in some lower picks if you want.

We'd win the SB with Manning

No.

No, double no, and **** NO!

Teams dropping 8 to stifle Manning.

Charles can run for 160 a game with that kind of coverage. McCluster can add 50 and the veteran big back of the month adds another 50. We have the best run game in the league for another three years with Manning alone.

Our defense continues bending but not breaking... Bowe and Baldwin, and surely we'd get a handful of good WRs to flock to KC with Manning under center.

SB could be possible. There are teams built to beat the Colts, like the Jets or the Ravens, but our defense can slow them down enough for Manning and Charles to put up 25 points.

Well it's not going to happen. Get your panties straightened out.

Fun to think about, though.

So the question is.....would you trade 3 draft picks away for a "chance" to win the Superbowl for the next 2-3 years.

Oh.....and I don't think that Haley and Manning could co-exist together.

**RealSNR** · 07-08-2011, 09:13 AM

Cassel for Manning. Straight up.

But seriously. I'd do a 2012 1st and 2nd, a 2013 2nd or 3rd, and Cassel. That's pretty fair deal if you ask me.

Right. Because we won a Super Bowl with Montana.

Molitoth · 07-08-2011, 09:17 AM

Absolutely Yes. Manning will make all of our WR's good... and bring a confidence to this team where they know they can succeed. I have no doubt we could go far in the playoffs with Manning.

Hey, I'd say the Montana trade was well worth it. Even without winning a SB, that team was epic.

philfree · 07-08-2011, 09:20 AM

Would Manning be near as good in a different offensive scheme? Or are we going to bring in the Colts OC too?

Hill and Allen don't even compare to Jamaal Charles. Also, Bowe and Baldwin > any of Montana's receivers.

That team had a better defense, but this 2011 team has some serious weapons. I chided the Vikings as much as the next guy for selling out their souls for an old QB. It's risky, but this is the kind of stuff that happens when you're as desperate for a Super Bowl as we Chiefs fans are.

Also, who knows what happens if Montana stays healthy. Manning's got a consecutive games streak that isn't going to be broken any time soon. I doubt he breaks Favre's record but who knows

Well it's sad to say they got closer w/ Montana than KC has w/ any other QB.

A good chance? Yes.
