won't be a popular thing to say here but I do like Peyton Manning. Don't
worry I still hate Sheli and Dad Archie Bunker and always will. Peyton
though has earned what he's accomplised. After some of the games the
Colts played the Chargers Peyton had respectful things to say that made
sense. When he lost those playoff games before he always held his head
high and acknowledged when he didn't play well. His comercials are funny
too. Yesterday Mr. Manning beat the Patsies and it was sweet! Thanks
Peyton for being a great QB and person! Good Job!

I do too. It's not his fault he's got an asshole dad and a dickhead brother.

True. Of those three Peyton is the most likable...and the most talented.

Did we not trade away him for the right to select Ryan Leaf???

What would the Chargers picture look like if we had selected Peyton
Manning Instead? Would he have played for the Chargers??

I'm constantly amazed by how many people think the Chargers "passed" on
Peyton Manning or ever had an opportunity to draft him. Nothing could be
further from the truth.

OK If memory serves the Chargers had the 3rd pick and and the Colts had
the 1st pick. The Chargers traded the farm to move up to the 2nd pick
and with that pick the Chargers pick Leaf. Is that close??

That's correct.

So by the time it came to the Chargers Peyton Manning was gone. I think
it was a mistake to trade so much away just to go from the 3rd pick to
the 2nd pick. I guess that is hindsight though. Would the Chargers
have been better off with picking Griese? What what Randy Moss or Robert
Edwards???

Since the alternative was taking the worst quarterback in the history of pro
football, I'd have to say yes.

Even Worse than Heath Shuler??? Was not Ryan Leaf a great QB for the
Cougars?? What happened between college and the pros??
