  1. haha not likely.

    We need a miracle...still that doesn't mean i won't root for that miracle up until the final second.

    If we win it'll be right up there with the AFC championship, the sb against the bears, and 4th and two.

    That's outrageous. We'd be 1-11.

  2. What you've described is exactly what the Broncos are doing with Tebow. They'e completely changed their offense to suit his style of play and have gone "all in" with Tebow. Let's see if he can win a Super Bowl. I say no.

    The Broncos have barely dipped their toe into the water. Running a few option plays a game is not going all in. The fact is most NFL people are too scared of trying to revamp their offense into a college style spread attack.

  3. Is the defense and running game keeping the game close while he leads the offense on 3 and out after 3 and out coming with him?

    I mean, we already have a QB who can't complete passes. Why would we trade for another one?

    Tebow lifts that whole team up. Last year he took over a team that was 3-10 and they went 2-1 with him. This year he took over a team that was 2-4 and they have gone 5-1 with him. The guy wins.

  4. I would like to have him as well but not as a QB. He is such a football player he can play many positions. Maybe a wildcat formation from time to time. I would definitely take him as a back up QB but I don't think he would want that. I'm still hoping he flourishes in Denver and proves all the critics wrong. As long as he keeps winning he will hold on to that job. Go Tebow!

    If a team gives him a chance and really embraces his style of play and builds a team around him that will highlight his strengths, he will win a Super Bowl. But I'm not sure a team will go all in with him because it would require major overhauls that most NFL egos don't want to deal with and don't know how to do it.

  5. It had been reported that last year and the year before, Peyton was having difficulty handing the ball off on certain plays that required him to run, such as the stretch play. He was not able to run as fast as he used to, mainly due to tired and sore legs. He was missing hand offs at times during practice. This led the Colts to use the stretch play less during games. This is evidence that although Peyton played through a lot of pain with his shoulder,he was still aging. His shoulder next season may feel better, but his body will still continue to age. His body will be sore and tired throughout the season as with age comes a slower recovery.

    What people fear is opportunity loss. What if we pass up on Luck, trade the number 1 pick for more draft picks and build a solid team around Manning, but Manning is just not the same afterwards. It's reasonable to think so after 3 surgeries for the same issue, after missing an entire season, and his continued aging. We would miss out on the opportunity to draft someone who gives us arguably the best shot at keeping the winning tradition established by Manning.

    I agree with most of this but if you draft Luck, it's not because they are afraid to pass on him, it is because they think he is the best player to draft for the Colts. Quarterback is by far the most important position on the field, and when you're QB is 36 years and and coming off his 3rd neck surgery, it is hard to believe that he will be able to play at the same level.

  6. Not really but if the colts have to get one and they most likely will they could forefit the extra 1st round pick they would get in the 013 draft to move up and pick a top QB OR with the extra early 2nd round pick they would receive they could get a QB there to learn under manning...

    Matt Barkley or Landry Jones both seem like really good QB's... yes i know Andrew Luck is the prized trophy right now, but with peyton as we well know he cant do it by himself alone... plus with a good chance peyton is going to be back i want peyton to be surrounded by the best talent possible..

    But if peyton isnt gonna be there, then there's no doubt who has to be drafted.. andrew luck for sure.

    What I am saying is that if the Colts are not 100% percent sure Manning is going to be back to normal then they absolutely have to take Luck or one of the top QBs. They can't have another year of uncertainty at the QB position like this one. All along the Colts thought Manning's minor surgery was no bid deal and he'd be back and able to throw in June or July, then what happens? He can't play and we get caught with our pants around our ankles completely unprepared to put a competent football team on the field. With that being said, no matter what they think about Manning, if the Colts think Andrew Luck is going to be a great QB, multiple pro-bowl appearances, then they have to take him. You let him sit behind Manning for a year or two, then you start trying to figure out a way to get Manning out of town.

  7. It would only be as such if, after evaluating Manning, he plays line he's 36. He certainly played younger than 35 WITH the pain. That pain will now be gone.

    It's cute to repeat what the radio mouth-breathers are spouting, but that doesn't make it a relevant argument. Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd said the same thing, word for word, because that's their job. They stir the pot to create conversation.

    The fact is, this surgery alleviated exactly what was holding him back. The facts show that he was playing better than any 35 year old player in NFL history, despite the discomfort. The facts show that nearly every athlete makes a full recovery from this procedure, DB's excepting, for whatever reason.

    Think for yourself, for a change. Drafting Luck would be LESS logical than stacking in defense and picks. This is a "win now" league. Not a "maybe in five years we will have the Rodgers scenario" league.

    How the heck do you know that? Every time Manning has spoke he says he is still have trouble with the nerve regeneration.

  8. Strike 3, the first being the beating of a hall of famer on his own team and the second being his constant immature whining. Get off the field Jack.

    Ok I'm sorry but if we're going to talk about whining look no further than Peyton Manning. I love Manning but he whines on the field more than any player ever.

  9. That would be one of the worst decisions the colts ever make, the defense needs help and the colts are facing the problem or resigning a 30+ wr and another that i inconsistent when catching the ball... the colts need to trade down, that would be the best thing the colts can ever do.

    Manning is going to be 36 freaking years old. He is coming off his 3rd NECK surgery. It would be beyond ignorant for the Colts to not draft a QB.

  10. Like i said. I find it rude and vulgar to bash another team. Regardless of professional ranking. Is that what we are teaching our youth? Unsportsman like play? Ive never been on the receiving side of an butt whooping, but have played on teams that were dishing it out. I didnt like it, neither did the opponents.

    i realize these are professional player, but they should act like professionals. I guess i hold it to a higher standard.

    NFL players are the least professional of all professionals in the world.

  11. Lets hope Bill and company have enough respect not to stick it to us and run up the points like the Saints did. Some wont see it that way, but i view it as unsportsman like. Like in hs softball we had the mercy rule. The goal of a team is not to destroy its opponents, but to have a quality game and be sportsman. The player Suh comes to mind..

    ya, we should have a better team and play better, but running up a score is unsportsman like. And i find it vulgar.

    In pee wee football I would agree with you but this is the NFL. Both teams get paid, and just because one team is astronomically better than the other doesn't mean they should feel sorry and take it easy on them. I hope the Patriots hang an 80 burger on us.
