Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News 2/20

by NJ Chiefs Fan on Feb 20, 2012 6:10 AM CST

Good morning and welcome to your offseason, holiday Arrowheadlines. Not a lot of Kansas City Chiefs news. Enjoy.

The relationship between the Kansas City Chiefs and the people of Kansas City can be attributed, for the most part to three men - a robust mayor, a former All-American football player, and one of the nation's leading Chamber of Commerce executives. They were the key figures in events which culminated May 22, 1963 with the announcement by Lamar Hunt that he was moving his Dallas Texans to the Heart of America.

Based on the buzz around the league, the Seahawks could be the early frontrunner for Peyton Manning, assuming he is released. Pete Carroll needs a quarterback and is believed to have a strong interest in at least exploring Manning. The Seahawks could offer Manning an attractive scenario. They have a young team with some fine skill players to put around him. They play in one of the league's loudest stadiums. Manning wouldn't be subject to the same kind of scrutiny in Seattle that he would in a lot of other markets.

I thought we’ve had a decent amount of Chiefs news out there for it being the offseason. Then, yesterday for the first time I saw three consecutive front page stories be a night thread, Arrowheadlines, followed by another night thread. And now I’ve seen my first two story Arrowheadlines. Oof. At least it won’t be long before things pick up again.

If Manning and Wayne Are a Package Deal

then I really don’t think we have a chance…unless they let Bowe walk (which would be a really bad decision)

Wayne isn't a #1 WR anymore

he is still good, but because he has lost a step he struggles to get open and because he is on the tail end of his career he wouldn’t be very expensive. Think Torry Holt a couple years ago.

Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.

I think it's funny how every place is a good place for Manning except KC

Which should automatically make KC the favorites.

Manning / Wayne package deal makes sense because of their chemistry...

Kinda like Cassel / Vrable…Oh Wait…

You could just about substitue the Chiefs into everything that said Seahawks and have it be true.

Based on the buzz around the league, the ~~Seahawks~~ Chiefs could be the early frontrunner for Peyton Manning, assuming he is released. ~~Pete Carroll~~ Romeo Crennel needs a quarterback and is believed to have a strong interest in at least exploring Manning. The ~~Seahawks~~ Chiefs could offer Manning an attractive scenario. They have a young team with some fine skill players to put around him (Dex, Charles, McClain, Bowe, Baldwin, Breaston, Moeaki). They play in ~~one of~~ the league’s loudest stadium. Manning wouldn’t be subject to the same kind of scrutiny in Seattle that he would in a lot of other markets.

So easy to say

much harder to do. Unless you want to sell the farm.

by Eastcoastransplant on Feb 20, 2012 10:20 AM CST up reply actions

why would Manning want to play in the 49ers' division?

there’s may other reasons why this doesn’t make sense

I cant take this guy seriously when he says

Hoffman did a good job in KC the last 2 seasons. Colquitt and Succop are good kickers without that dude and we ran exactly 1 kick/punt back the past 2 seasons under him. Tell me exactly how the Raiders are getting a good ST coach? Especially when they have Lechler and SeaBass back there doing what they do. Doesn’t make much sense to this Chiefs fan…
