Quote:Manning was the easy choice in hindsight.

What's easy to forget, is that all the GMs/scouts/errbody were 50\50 on the two.

Hard to believe now, but it was true.

I don't think they were 50/50, although the pundits at the time might have made that claim. Polian made the right choice, but it seemed to me the obvious choice at the time. OTOH, Bobby Beatherd made one of the worst blunders in NFL history.
