I think people are making too much of this idea.  Even for as revered as the Manning family is, if they're really the only ones to do that since John Elway, and do it twice, then a lot of people will turn on them in the football community.

I think if social media was what it is today, when Eli was drafted, that wouldn't have gone over like it did, social media would have a field day with it.

Plus, if we're smart and draft a true #1 WR with our first rounder this year, I think that alone could be very attractive to Arch and the family with already having that at his disposal.  Eli and his dad didn't force their way out of SD because they were just a mess of a franchise, it was because at the time everyone knew the ownership wasn't really all that interested in trying to win, they just wanted to make money off the NFL team they owned.  

And despite all the dumb decisions Tepper has made, nobody can argue that he's just in it for the money, all he wants to do is win, and I think that would be a key difference to the Manning clan than with what happened with the Chargers and Eli back in the day.

Oh, and on top of this, with NIL these days, I think if anything, Arch would be more likely to pull a Luck on us and go back to school if we had the #1 pick than try and pull an Eli.

Agreed all except the Allar.  But even if it's that close in reality, I'll be satisfied.

Agreed, just throwing Allar’s name out there. I’m of the opinion that the 2024 draft will show that rookies on cheap deals aren’t it and that it’s ok to let them sit but not at first round value 

draft your Mason Grahams, Tet McMillans, Travis Hunters, etc etc in the first.

We gotta find our next Peppers and this draft has two pass rushing studs.  It would be a shame to pass that up for a middling QB.

I would like to see Dalton let go at the end of the season, bring in a backup that's been in the league 5 or 6 years, a later round draft pick, and have a real qb competition next year.  I don't even care who wins it, as long as they can resemble an NFL quarterback.
