This is of course old news but it inspires two new takeaways for me. One, we once had a head coach who rejected the greatest quarterback of the last thirty years in favor of a guy who is now Oakland's holder and third string signal caller AND there are teams around the league that apparently want to give this same guy another chance to be a head coach.
Two, Rick Smith apparently wanted Manning but was overruled by Kubiak. Now that we finally have a head coach that likely possesses a triple digit IQ score the revelation of Rick Smith's lowly status in the decision making hierarchy gives one some comfort.
