I think teams are waiting for him to get cutDon't be surprised if the colts don't make some kind of move on getting an extra draft pick or two THIS year....via a trade of some sort.

I have been COLTS fan for 44 years and i have never seen anythong like this but in the long run will be the better for this.Belive me i have seen some lean years and will always stand by the COLTSI think this has been the most painful week in Colts fans history. I am sure there is an old timer out there who will tell me about a week that was just as painful but I just don't buy that. I don't think when Johnny U was traded the team turned around and cut more fan favroites the same week.
It's a painful week and probably leading to some painful years. Yet I still stand by my team I am in for the long haul. I think in the end these are going to prove to be the right moves no matter how much they hurt. With that said I understand 100% this hurts and I mean really hurts. I don't know what to say other than I am sorry and I really do mean that. I know this is painful. Stand by your team though, it will be worth it in the end. No team can have this much bad luck forever.
Again I go back to when the Colts traded Harbaugh and I want to say I understand in no shape or form was Jim Harbaugh remotely close to being the player Manning was. Still Harbaugh was my all-time favorite Colt. I remember being upset the day the Colts traded him just like so many have been so upset this week. Still I was willing to give that Manning guy a chance and it paid off. I think the samething will happen here if we stay patient and understand it wont happen over night.

Good jobLuck or Manning or any player doesn't "desreve" anything. They will earn it, and work hard at it.
I mean Luck is not a "baby" he is an adult. Luck will be fine and us fans won't hav much to do with it. Irsay and company needs to build a better team moving forward, not just at the QB position.
If Luck gets a hang nail and need to sit out a game, I want to know that the team can still compete, maybe they lose that game but be competitive. No more one trick pony as it is not fair to Luck as it was not fair to Manning.
This notion of rallying around "Luck" why would't Colts fan? Geezz..I rallied for Nick Harper..Tim Jennings..Curtis Painter...Ugoh..Sorgi LOL

COLTS need to move on im a big MANNING FAN but there are to many ? marks"Now that Peyton Manning has made tangible progress with his arm strength, NFL Network's Michael Lombardi believes the Colts will "try to keep him there if they can."
Per Lombardi, it will cost the Colts $16 million against the cap to release Manning versus $17 million to keep him. "The biggest difference, and this is huge for everyone to understand, is it would cost [Jim] Irsay $28 million to make that difference," explained Lombardi. "So it's a cash issue, not a cap issue." If Irsay does blink at the $28 million option by Friday's 4PM ET deadline, Manning will likely seek greener pastures."
More media foder but I figured people might be interested in his cap figures he's running.
Also, if someone could please link to the actual article I can't access the site at work. Thanks.

is his career over?
-
EXACTLY everything would have to fall into place i still think to many COLT fans don't realize how many areas Manning covered upYou think it's easy to replace almost half of the starters in one offseason and still field a winning team?
-
Brown has talent COLTS have not used him rightdowntown on the ground for a touchdown donald brown finally showed up last season, so maybe next year will be jerry's turn

Good job i have been a COLTS fan since 1968 and have seen it all but i have never seen anything like PEYTON and i doubt i ever will again it is sad the way it is ending. I remember being patient all those years before MANNING taking all that abuse but we must move on GO PEYTON GO COLTSlol, these last few posts have been the best ever. I have now been called a Manning "Fanboy" so I guess I take that with a smile and after thinking long and hard, I guess I am.
Cause see when I graduated from High School the Colts became a passion to me. I worked hard all week just to make the money to go buy a scapped ticket to see my beloved Colts play on Sunday's because way back then they were never on TV. Sometimes when things were real tough, because they are when your starting out in life, I would go to a secret location and pay $25 to watch the Colts on pirated satellite. See I loved the Colts and my week always revolved around them. I sat through the horrible years and rooted knowing they would probable not win but if they did, man it was nice. Then there was the miracle year where we were one hail marry from going to the Super Bowl in the "Let it Rip" years. These were the years when small market teams never had a chance. I went and stood in line, in the rain, and bought my Touch Down Monkey and Extra point Monkey when others just laughed. I went to training camp opening day every year for the last 27 years. I have missed three home games in 18 years of being a STH and two of those were this year. I can remember the draft in 98 when we took a young kid from TN who turned around a franchise that was going no where. Was the laughing stock of the league and the whipping boy for most of the league. I was there, every Sunday. I watched one of the greatest QB's, turn a City and a franchise around in two years. He gave us hope every week that we could win, he made it proud to be a Colts fan. I cried when he won us a Super Bowl because I knew how much of my life and time, not to mention the financial sacrifices I had made to go to games. All the jeers I endured from friends and co-workers through it all but I kept my chin up and believed. Now the organization that I never doubted is on the verge of just saying, thx Peyton but we don't need you anymore, you made us who we are but pack up and move on. You didn't miss a game in 13 years, you won more games and took us to more consecutive playoff games than any other franchise in league history but hey, your done. You can play but it will have to be for another team now because there's this new guy that we think will be better than you and we want him now so sorry your 13 years don't mean anything to us. Oh and by the way, sorry about that perfect season we had going that we just gave away because stats didnt mean anything but hey the very next week we let certain players achieve there goals but we weren't worried about them getting hurt in a meaningless game. Oh and one last thing, don't say anything till after March 3rd because we don't want to upset the STH and have them not renew there tickets.
See, a lot of the so called Fans on here have only been a part of the winning, the Manning years but my support goes way beyond Manning. As I have gotten older I have seen many players come and go but never a player as special as Peyton Manning. I have seen what he has done for us, the Colts Fan and the League. I believe in respect, loyality and in this case, trust. If Peyton Manning is healthy and can play this game, he deserves to play with the team he built, the francise he took upon his shoulders and carried for 13 years. A lot of people want the Colts to take Luck and that is fine, they have there opinions but don't call people out because they don't see eye to eye with you. This goes way beyond money and whats best for the franchise with me! So if I'm a Manning "FanBoy" I'm proud of it because I've earned that right. Good luck to the next generation of Colts fans and I hope your years with Luck are half of what my memories were with Manning.

No i wanted the 1st pick it gives the COLTS more power to deal it in case they want to get extra picksI remember when I was rooting for the Colts to loose the last game of the season because I wanted the #1 overall pick so the Colts could trade it and get numerous picks to address several area's of need. Now we have sat through a month and haif of Manning Gate and it is the same thing everyday. The soap opera continues everyday. Now I know how the Packers must have felt when Favre was replaced but at least they had a prepared Rodgers ready to take the reigns.
If I only knew what I knew now I might have rooted for them to win that last game so we wouldn't have the #1 overall pick and all this talk of replacing Manning would be different I think. What would we be thinking then? Wouldn't it be nice to be #2 overall and have a healthy Manning coming back into the fold? Would we be talking about drafting RG3? How things could have been different if we just had won that last game.

I have been a COLTS fan since 1968 and always will be TEAM comes 1st Irsay is doing the best he can MOVE ON things will work outOk, I'm at a crossroad so I want all you so called Colts fans out there to tell me why I should remain a Colts Fan. I've been called a non fan, a Manning "Fan Boy", Mr. Negativity and a disloyal individual. So after 27 years of being a Colts fan and missing just 3 Colts home games in 18 years, two this year alone, why should I remain loyal to the Colts?
I want to hear from you. I'm a STH and haven't renewed my tickets yet so convience me why I should stay. Mr. Irsay has gone nutts, he can't even listen to himself and keep things "in house" anymore. He can't keep his word to his players and fan base anymore. He can't have a meeting with the guy that saved his franchise and helped win a Super Bowl and helped build him a new stadium. He can't meet with the one guy that helped bring a Super Bowl to this City. I want to know why, after 27 years of loyal support through the good and bad, why I should continue to financially support this team.
I just want to know why, can someone logically convience me why! Is it that hard to want to know why????????????
I'm broken, sick to my stomach and just plain tired of it all. Anyone?????
Please make me understand! I'm on the ciff edge ready to jump!
Peyton Will Go To An Afc Team...
