I think the Kubiak/Manning issue is over played.
when Peyton left the colts, one could argue that the texans was the perfect landing spot: indoor stadium, coming off a division title and playoff win led by tj yates, good OL, QB friendly system, good defense the first year under wade phillips, jj watt.

i'd bet it didnt go down b/c kubiak said he could/would win with schuab, "if i can win a playoff game with yates, we can win it all with schuab!!!" some of the shite gary kubiak pulled in houston defied logic. he'll turn the denver donkeys into a league afterthought soon enough.


if you want to know who kubiak wants to hire for his staff, just do a google search of everyone whos been on a staff with him. he wouldnt dream of getting the best coach available. no, hes going to hire his buddies whom hes familiar with. who he knows wont challenge him.

That may all be true. But Schaub had a few years where he played like a top 10 QB. So it's not like it was unreasonable to think they'd be fine with him. And you can't act like there weren't pleantynof teams that were wary of Manning's injury.

Another factor you shouldn't discount is Elway. His influence on the organization, for better or worse, is huge.

Like I said, I'm not thrilled with the hire. I expected it. And as a fan I can be miserable and complain, or I can be optimistic. I choose to be optimistic. And that won't change unless Manning announces his retirement.
