Manning's perfect match exists in Kansas City

An article on the front page of NFL.com...Why Manning Fits in KC!

[nigeriannightmare]

I agree that the Chiefs would be a great fit for Manning. I'm just still not fully convinced that Manning would be a good fit for the Chiefs.

I'm not completely opposed to the idea. I even suggested a contract for him that I could live with in another thread.

I did find these quotes interesting:


Why is a band-aid good for us and bad for other teams? Their wounds are just as bad as ours is.

Two words ...ricki stanzi.

This manning to kc is gaining traction espn.com lead article is comparing manning to montana and why kc is the best place. Best team most money and familiarity.

Where Manning Goes – Reggie Wayne Will Follow. a deal sweetner???

Only if we dont want to pay D. Bowe. Id rather have D.Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin and Mccluster. Wayne doesnt seem to fit in anywhere unless we demote someone or cut someone.

If Pioli wants Manning he'll make Wayne fit in. and who wouldnt??? Waynes' not the drop and smile type. pretty impressive stats with manning.

story


• Kansas City. The Chiefs seem much more likely to build around Matt Cassel and a free-agent import to compete with him, and keep Jonathan Baldwin and Dwayne Bowe. But Peyton Manning can make teams do things they never foresaw.

Peyton Manning is not really a band-aid.

If you had Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers, you probably wind-up starting Peyton Manning.

Tags have to be used by Monday, so kinda leaves one to wonder if Pioli has a plan......

If Wayne follows Manning along for the ride, like already said, the coaches would find a way.

If you noticed mid-way through the season, Baldwin was lining up at TE. Baldwin, certainly has the height and weight to be a TE, and while he would need to block much better, I could see it working. That would free up a spot at WR for Wayne and move Breaston into the slot.

Moeaki would get less time in 2 RB sets, but he'd still see plenty of snaps. If Wayne wants to come, I'd welcome him with open arms.
