    What If We Keep Manning?

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I'd like to get everyone's take on this. What if we keep Manning and draft Andrew Luck with the first pick? Would this be so bad? I am aware of the amount of money spent on one position, and that we have so many holes to fill. But, let's talk this through.

    Here's what I'm wondering. If Manning had played this year, what would our record have been? I think that we would have had a winning record and could have won our division and would've made it to the play offs. This tells me that we're not too far off from being a serious contender with Manning.

    Moving forward, we have to address Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, our O-line, Mathis, and many positions on defense. Couldn't we re-sign Mathis, Garcon, and then look address some other key positions either through FA or the draft? I am assuming that Wayne may want to be paid like a top grade receiver. And we can do this not just this year, but over the next few years, as Manning is under a 4-year contract. We can move forward thinking that Manning gives us the best shot to win now. We will continue to re-build the team, and when Manning retires we could move forward with Luck.

    For those that say Luck will not sit behind Manning, we have no proof of that. In fact, he has said that he is willing to if that is the case. I'd prefer not to turn this into a Luck thread and focus on Manning, with Luck as his eventual successor.

    I basically want to know if this is possible and a safe way for the Colts to proceed.

    This is a brilliant post, Flash777

    I agree with you about Mathis and Pierre, they have to be resigned.

    In regards to Reggie, if he wants to much money, its time to let him go, as sad as that will be.

    And I agree totally about the #18/#12 Being on the same team thing, I dont see why that couldnt work.

    Question About The Excitement For The New Erea

    Did I miss an announcement or something? The Manning Era is over? Wow... Guess I was sleeping under a rock or something...

    Last I heard Manning was still planning on playing for another 2 to 3 years or more... Lets not go jumping the gun here and proclaim the Manning Era over. How about we wait and see what happens.

    I was thinking the same thing. I thought maybe I missed an Irsay tweet
