[QUOTE=petejet;4501059]Uhhh.....Why did Parcells have to guarantee Archie Manning anything? :confused:[/QUOTE]

He wanted to make sure Peyton went to a team and HC that he approved of just like he did with Eli.. If Peyton came out his junior year he wanted a guarantee the Tuna would take him with the first pick in the 97 draft. Parcells said he would coach for 3 years and didn't want to deal with a rookie QB and the rest is history..
