I know it's MANNING and all...but for an unproven player (post major surgery) I'm surprised it's THAT MUCH!

You can bet that they have plenty of clauses in the contract that will allow them to back out if Manning has issues with his neck.

Ouch, did that burn the moustache, Phil :)

Hey, cut it out, no need to attack the mods which is a clear violation of the rules of the forum. You can continue to argue the premise of your disagreement, and I am sure you know better than that.

This has already been discussed and I'm sure the mods will move it if they decide it needs to be moved.

Well if they don't, I'm gonna start posting Texans stuff in the Colts section haha.

But really, breaking up his hard to do, but you gotta move on, you've got a great guy in Luck who may not be as good looking but he's even nicer :) so just forget about those CDs you left in Peyton's truck, it's just an excuse for you to see him again, and you need to get him out of your mind.

So let me understand the point you are attempting to make here....

Because a former player was (1) flown in the Colts' private jet, and (2) participates in a news conference announcing his separation from the team, he is then entitled to be followed by the Colts forum for the rest of his career?

Yes. Because he was more than just a QB for the team. Some players mean more to a franchise than others. Similar to Irsay giving Edge a SB ring even though he was not with the team when the Colts won the SB.
I think that is rather thin.

Two mistakes there... you think that you think and you think I care what you think.

I thnk the forum should be open to discussion of ALL COLTS past and present.

..and nothing should be moved or shunted aside..

I know there's a group that's tired of hearing about him and I get that.

But he's gojng to be the elephant in the room for 5 years...

Please move this post to the Draft forum as Luck is not a member of the Colts any discussion about Luck does not belong in the Colts forum.

Then you would have no problems if someone posted about Lacey or Gonzo, and how they are doing with their new teams, here in the Colts' forum.

Feel free, but what does Garcon have to do with Manning?

Garcon has nothing to do with Manning. Garcon has everything to do with the Colts, in your opinion. any former player may be discussed at will in the colts forum is essentially what you are saying.

because Manning took a plane ride with the owner he is fair game to litter the Colts board with his topics? I will happily discuss all things Peyton as I will be following him closely in Denver, along with majority of our posters here.

but he has no more business being discussed on the TEAM board, because he is no longer a member of the team. when he retires as Colt, its fair game. I don't want to see Peyton's stats each game he has with Denver clogging up our TEAM board.

get it?

good, now you are getting it. After the draft when he is given his jersey, we will be able to talk about him all we want on the TEAM forum.

enough with Manning here on the Colts forum. I am glad we both agree.

I would suggest the mods do a poll now that Peyton is officially signed with another team.

If the majority of posters (> 50%) feel Peyton threads should all be in NFL General, that would be a fair way of saying this was the determinant to move all Peyton threads in NFL General.

I am sure posters will be fine with such a poll.

Then don't open and read the threads.

get it?

Don't you get it? No one is forcing you to open the thread, no one is forcing you to respond to the thread.

Wow, what you lack in humor you make up for with no originality. Phil, I've read a lot of your posts over the years, we agree on very little and this is not one of them.

Do you talk about your exs in front of your wife and children?

rough similie there..

...which ones of us here are wife and child...? (never mind)

None of us know each other here and we have the options to punch up whatever thread we want...

I dont punch up fantasy football posts, for example....when someone starts to post about it, I step away

..but I understand that some crazy folks like it.

I wouldnt rule it out...

Like I said..Manning is going to be the elephant in the room for 5 years...

Its going to be hard to discuss Colts football without mentioning him and how he's doing.

A compliment of Manning is not a slam on Luck....Their orbits are seperate now

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      That has always been my issue going back to the Polian years. They preferred undersized players to fit this scheme. That was great when they had a lead and played indoors. The problem  is that teams started running the ball to keep Peyton on the bench. Plus, u get in bad weather and on grass, their speed is negated and they are just a bunch of undersized players getting blown off the ball. I am in favor of building a team that can play in any environment and that can run various schemes. I see flexibility with the offence, however the D is the same old. That's why I think this is an important draft defensively. Will the Colts stray from their previous tendancies of drafting players that fit the Seattle scheme or will they deviate and say draft a man corner? Last year we were all on the edge of our seats when a trade was made at 3. Will we get our qb at 4? We were all on pins and needles till they made that pick. This draft has that same excitement for me. At 15 will Ballard and company do something different? This team needs a play maker on D and I contend that is their biggest need. I don't believe they get that player moving back.  Sure u may get him at 15 but if u really want a playmaker, this just might be the year to say move up and get a guy like Mirchell and Latu who may fall because of the medical. I am not in favor of getting a wr or te. Richardson, if he is the guy, should deliver explosive plays with our current roster.  Jot a fan of Gus and this scheme, but I really don't think he has a lot to work with and Ballard kind of eluded to that in his post season pressers.

      It’s officially over: Luck says he will never return.

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      The move happened before the 1984 season. To put in perspective how great Luck was here, here are the top 3 QBs over 40 seasons here win wise: Regular Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 141 wins 2. Andrew Luck = 53 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 20 wins   Post Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 9 wins (won the SB in 2006) 2. Andrew Luck = 4 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 2 wins   Luck had 33 more wins than Jim did and 2 more playoff wins than Jim did. Luck is so far ahead of any QB (not named Peyton) regarding wins in the Regular Season and Post Season that it is laughable.

      I wonder whether there's anything to his reporting. Either way, I think he'd be better at safety / nickel. Even if the Colts view him as a boundary corner, I think they view corner as a Day 2 position.    DeJean definitely helped himself on his testing. I don't think the 40 time was concerning, even if I wasn't blown away by it. His explosive numbers were very good; if you watch his high school basketball clips, you'll see his explosiveness. And like stitches said, the Colts love explosive DBs, maybe even more than they love fast DBs.    And yeah, I side-eye any timed speeds when they don't happen at the Combine. There's hand timing, some surfaces are different, I've read that some tracks have a slight grade to them, etc. I don't know how they prepare all the 40 tracks, but I know that everyone that runs at the Combine gets the same surface, same conditions, etc.
