I thought I'd repeat a bit of REAL football history for the younger Chief fans...

Manning was a football god in Indy...they have a statue of him. If they thought he had even a 10% chance of playing football again at a high level, they would have kept him. Might have still drafted Luck...but he would have been their QB.

EVERY medical expert said he was done...that's why they moved on.

Elway signs Manning...and he magically defies all logic and the latest in medical technology. He's back to his old self...like nothing ever happened. ..it's a "miracle".

When you start to peel back the layers of this miracle recovery...you start to notice that maybe this really wasn't "God's will".

Manning was called out by someone who dealt with him about HGH. Manning sent goons to this guys house to intimidate him. Guy retracted as he didn't have the resources nor the motivation to bury him. He was just being honest...and didn't think it as worth it to be a whistleblower... Come to find out, Manning had HGH shipped to his house in his wife's name. Talk about crazy coincidences....Neutral man (that knows nothing about Manning's wife medical history) says Manning was taking HGH...then records say HGH was shipped to his house.

It gets better...2014 season Manning was rated as the #4 QB...39 TDs and 4800 yards. It was just unfortunate for him that the NFL decided to start testing for HGH in earnest for the upcoming season.

Elway meets with him and asks him to take a pay cut...the #4 ranked QB and one year removed from 55 TDs. "we really think you arent performing to our expectations".

They both knew their little ruse was up...Manning agrees to the price cut. He proceeds to have the biggest decline, in a one year period, than any QB in history...dropping from 4th best to 2nd worst in the NFL. QBs fall off over time...but nothing like this. He was a completely different player...overnight.
