He doesn't seam to be a big ego kind of guy. I think he can be a GM most coaches can work with. I don't have a ****ing clue tho. So please why would he be a bad idea?

well sure

my original points were:

1) we won't win this division THIS YEAR while Peyton is in Denver

which leads to

2) ????

I'm sorry, you're just wrong. There is a reason why Peyton Manning and Tom Brady haven't lost their divisions for close to, if not over a decade. (not counting the 11 win Cassel year in NE)

This isn't the Marty era...this isn't 'defense wins' era...

that argument is totally flawed; just 100%

I don't know how to tell this to you guys...I love your faith and your ability to hold on. I know I can enjoy a new coach and a new (Geno) QB...I think it'll be great.

But I'm also going to be realistic and realize we have no shot at this division for at least 3 years.

NONE

IT WON'T HAPPEN

Unless you guys hire Tonya Harding to take out Peyton Manning. Then we'll talk.

Either way I don't think any of those Indy teams are as good or as well set up for the future as his current Broncos team.
