None of the above in the poll. Can't believe you left out Arizona and Houston!
My #1 pick would be Arizona, but realistically, for Peyton to have a Super Bowl chance, oh, THIS year, the Texans have all the right poeple to get there. Good coaching, fantastic offense, solid defense > if Peyton goes there, he goes to the Super Bowl in 2013!

If I hear one more person use this C-R-A-Z-Y- Dome argument for Peyton Manning, I am going to bleeping scream & break something!!! Do people forget the 2006 Superbowl in the rain? Is there mass amnesia on here? All these doubters act like Peyton has not won any significant game in snow, wind, rain, or fog. Please stop this insane, ludicrous point once & for all please. It is a frivolous argument with zero validity & merit. You name the stadium, time zone, & place & Peyton will slice up any opponent day or night with clinical precision!!!
Easy on the caffeine southwest1 > I'm not saying Manning can't play outside with the other kids, all I'm saying is taking into consideration his surgeries, he can live in an arid environment which will be great for his neck, and play in a dome...which he is accustomed to playing in. That's all. If you want him to live in Miami and play for the freakin' Fish, where they can't give away tix to a game, then fine. I happen to want something different.

I'd like to see him end up with KC or Arizona. The Chiefs fans are great and deserve a super bowl. Arizona would be great because it's the NFC and west coast which means we'd have a better chance of getting to see him play as the 4:00 Fox game (I expect the Colts will play a lot of 1:00 Sunday games).
I'd cheer loudly and proudly for him in KC or Arizona. Plus, if he chooses Arizona - which is IMO a perfect fit for him - he'd play 11 our of 16 games in 2012 in a DOME!! If he chooses Miami...I won't buy a jersey or bother to keep too close tabs on him. I despise the Fish.

I recall, all right. I recall the Colts going from 2-12 in 1974 to 10-4 and winning the Div. in '75, '76, and '77. Unfortunately, they banged up against the Steelers and Raiders in the playoffs those years. I wouldn't consider those Colts teams, "insignificant."
Loved those years! I was the only Colt fan (it seemed like) in my town, and all of my friends were suddenly jumping on the Steelers bandwagon. I hated them then, I hate them now - Steelers that is - my friends...eh, not so much.

COLTS CUT CURTIS PAINTER.
Missed one. Colts also have released QB Curtis Painter.
A year too late, I'd say.

Manning will not be playing outdoors, he needs a dome, his stats drop in bad weather games and outdoor stadiums
And if he signs with Arizona, he will play 11 games in a dome and only 5 outside in 2012. :yes: Oh, yeah!
-
True, yet some fans made the move wih the team so I don't know if all would agree with that.
I remember that day very well - I had just finished my Junior year in college and vowed to never watch another Colts game again! (Not like crying when they traded Unitas, but close!) Called 'em traitors and cowards and many other "colorful" terms. But the "horseshoe" kept calling me back and I grew to like Bert Jones and then, of course, Jim Harbaugh, and before I knew it, I was cheering for and wearing Colts blue again.
As the old saying goes, "this too shall pass." But man, I agree - it's been a very tough week. And now with Clark and Freeney gone (or going)...I'm just hoping to get through the weekend without any more upsetting surprises. And, I'm praying that Peyton finds a football home somewhere out west...I despise the Fish!

Am I the only one that hates miami?
I'm with you, Maureen! Hate the Fish and will NOT buy a Manning jersey if he chooses to go there. And other than having a house in Miami, I don't know why he would! Florida fans don't even like football! They can't give away tix and no wonder - the Fish stink! Bringing Peyton in will NOT get them to the Super Bowl...ever.
-
I work with and know several Vols fans and alumni who would kill or die for Peyton to return and coach at UT. But personally, I don't see him coaching - commentating definitely!
-
Not a big ESPN fan in the first place, but I did enjoy hearing Jaws' commentary - could handle more of him and less of Gruden, but that's just my opinion. Waiting to hear the "real" reason why he was moved from the MNF line up.
-
Selfishly, I'd love to see Peyton play for the Colts and then retire a Colt, but realistically, professional football is a business and at the end of the day, Irsay is going to do what is best for the Colts organization. But regardless of what decision is made for next season, I'm still gonna wear my #18 jersey and watch Colts football! Been a Colts fan for 40+ years - not giving up on 'em any time soon! GO COLTS!!

Griffin isn't nfl ready
I agree - as much as I like to watch him play, I believe he is in for a rude awakening in the NFL. He's confident and talented, but lacking in maturity. He'll be a good pick to sit behind a vet for a few years, work his way into the offense, mature and learn, and then become an NFL leader. He might be a good pick for us...but I'm not sold on that at all.
-
Yep, it's a business, first and foremost. We were talking about that today at work. Irsay has to make a decision - is it a complete overhaul (including a new QB) or is it a restructuring and resigning to keep the vets on the team with Peyton as QB? Assuming, of course, that Peyton can play...or that he even wants to play for Indy after his comments about the Polians yesterday...

If Dungy returns to the Colts organization in any form, I'll switch allegiances and possibly conferences. He's a mediocre coach, at best - don't care what his record was at Indy > he rode Peyton's coattails all the way to multiple playoffs and the Super Bowl win (and so has Caldwell). Dungy has his idea of what a coach and what the NFL should be - granted he's looking through his "faith" glasses - but anyone who knows anything about football will tell you that being a head coach or GM takes a certain kind of brass and fire that people like Dungy don't have. If Indy had had a coach like Belichick or Harbaugh or Tomlin (feel free to add others) during the past decade, they would have at least six Super Bowl rings, maybe more, and would have created a legacy like no other team. Lack of coaching, not talent, cost us all those years.
I'm cool with Fisher or Mularkey or Billick (sp?) - but not Dungy or one like him (Caldwell).
-
The pieces are falling into place...come on over Jack Del Rio and bring Jeff Fisher with you and we will rule the South for the next 10 years!
Great day, I forgot about Fisher!! Oh...now I know what Santy Claus can bring me for Christmas!!
-
Keep cleaning house, boys! The only way to make me feel better about this season is to fire Caldwell...NOW! Why wait until the end of the year? He's been worthless since he came on board. In fact, I'd say he's been worthless his entire coaching career.
-
I agree with cutting Hayden - Mr. 56 Million - big waste of money. Also agree on cutting Diem - would like to see someone in his position who doesn't give us a minimum of one false start per game. :rolleyes2:
I like Francisco for two reasons: he's a good up-and-coming player who needs a little more time and we share the same last name! Maybe he's a cousin waaaay down the line. :yes:
Keep Session and release Rhodes (which makes me sad too) - who else do we need to release?

Howdy folks! Great to be back and ready for some football!! GO COLTS!!
Miami's Campaign For Big P

Hate the Fish, the city, their fans, Shula, Marino, their champagne celebration every time an undefeated team gets beat - you name it, I hate it about Miami.
