  1. I couldn't disagree with you more. While Peyton is gone, Collins is going to force the Colts to get better for the following reasons:

    1) He is helping our young line get their feet wet against 1st stringers in the NFL. Because Collins has a longer release than Peyton, Our line will be forced to learn how to give him that extra .5-1 second. When Peyton returns that extra half a second or a second will seem like an eternity for the opposing defenses when they try to defend Peyton

    2) It is forcing us to run the ball more and become a more balanced offense. This plays into the idea of helping our young line, because it is easier to block for a run as opposed to blocking for a pass. With the bigger sets we will be using it will further establish our running game. This will set up the play-action pass both while Collins is in there and when Peyton returns. A successful play-action game with Peyton in the line-up is a linebacker's worst nightmare.

    3) It is forcing our defense to show up and not worry about playing with the lead. Collins will not put up the numbers Peyton will, and he will not throw for as many TDs. This means our defense will have to step up their game. I think this could really light a fire under our defense's you know what and force them to improve.

    We will be a totally different team with Collins under center. I personally think that is a good thing. We will experience some growing pains. However, the way I see it growing pains are good...it means our team is growing.

    I agree with Collings under center it will make us run the ball more. I just hope that we can still move the ball around.

  2. Yeah, lets opt out and cut him so he can be picked up by the Jags or Titans. That way

    we can play against one very angry Manning twice a year. :trout:

    That was a justified trouting, sorry dude.

    Did you every think that maybe Manning gets injured during rehab and never takes another snap in a Colts uniform? Didn't think so with the reply that you made. Also if Manning comes back then the Colts wouldn't have to opt out of his contract. Lets have more than a middle school reply guys. Sorry Dudes

  3. Barring the first two games of rust, I feel that Peyton Manning will have a stellar season. He has his complete receiving corps back (Minus Gonzalez), a somewhat improved offensive line, and a bruiser in Delones Carter who can get the extra 2 yards on 3rd and 2 (We had a drop in 3rd down success rates). This means drives will be kept alive longer which will ultimately lead to more red zone attempts. So, I am making the prediction that Manning will have a 35+ TD season. It is not irrational if you think about it, since he had 33 TD's last season. BTW, my fantasy team (12 team league) looks a little something like this:

    Peyton Manning (Over Philip Rivers)

    Arian Foster

    Marshawn Lynch

    Mario Manningham

    Reggie Wayne (Over Vincent Jackson. I feel like this was a mistake)

    Austin Collie

    Dallas Clark

    Steelers D

    Vinatieri

    Also got Tim Hightower in like round 8 or 10 (He is a steal at this point. New starting RB for Redskins)

    Week 11 is an automatic loss for me, but I do get all the byes out of the way in one week. I hope the Colts do well!

    Do you play a lot of fantasy football because by your team I would have to say no. I agree that Manning will have a great year but in order to be good in your league you have to have other than Colts on your team.

  4. I personally wouldn't draft him in the 1st round let alone first overall. Have you seen Minnesota's OL? Peterson is gonna have more negative gains than positive this season. Does anyone else notice this?

    Do you play fantasy football to win? lol For someone not to take him in the first round is crazy. Ray Rice would be a good pick at 1st overall but AP is number 2 or 3 for sure if you want to win.
