[Manning Denies Having Any Draft Discussions With Polian]

I think it is unfair to BOTH Manning and Luck to try to keep both players.

It is unfair to Luck because he is too good to sit behind a legend for 1-4 years. He is well beyond where Aaron Rodgers was when he came out.

It is unfair to Manning because he has a short window to win and this team currently 0-11 could use the help in the draft at MANY postitions. He could use that #1 or multiple first round picks on a new #1 WR, O-Line, CB help, etc. Drafting Luck to sit costs Manning and the Colts the opportunity of FINALLY getting a legit impact guy high in the draft ala Suh, Calvin Johnson, etc.

[If P.manning Was Healthy And Playing At His Typical High Level...]

In my opinion if Manning had started every game this season they would be 5 wins 5 losses at best.Manning as good as he is only plays QB.

So you win 12 or more games 7 years in a row (10 the year you didn't win 12 or more) and now they're going to be a .500 team with Manning?

This team would be anywhere from 9-1 to 7-3 with Manning. The offense would be humming per ushe and grinding out long scoring drives. The defense would be less exposed because of this and would in turn be more effective. The special teams would still be awful but when haven't they been. Remember we gave up an opening kickoff return to the Bears when we won the Super Bowl.
