i'm shocked at people who want to move on for something thats not proven to be better, just new. I guess the grass is always greener
You move on because the odds for long term success is better with Luck over Peyton and cheaper.

Everyone needs to get over the # of surgies. None of the surgeries matter except the fusion. The others were done in an attempt to avoid having to have the fusion which has a longer recovery time. It's his recovery from the fusion that matters.
Any time you cut into the human body its a big deal and add in the reason, number of times, location and length of recovery is very important and something you don't poo-pop away.

You mean 2010? We're not in 1990 reminiscing about Unitas and the glory days. If Manning can play at his level of a year ago, then Irsay should keep him a Colt for the remaining 3yrs of his contract. Manning on the on the other hand, should be greatful with the cash earned last season and be willing to renegotiate the dollar portion of his contract. I expect nothing less from these 2 professionals, regardless of Luck.
A season where we squeaked into the playoffs and one and done?

"Whats past is prologue" William Shakespeare
Loosely translated that means what's already happened merely sets the scene for the really important stuff, which is the stuff our greatness will be made on.
Peyton Manning has something to prove either to himself or everyone else.
I say let him. Lets watch greatness.
What has happened over the past year and something like how many surgeries leads you to believe we will see greatness in a 35+ year old player.
-
I guess I am just shocked at the number of people who won't let go of the past ...
-
What? Where do you get the idea that Peyton is determined to play only for the Colts???
Well...according to some here it was Peyton himself who said he wanted to finish his career as a Colt.
-
Why did Peyton and Luck on the same team become the Fairy Tale? To me it makes the most sense.
In a non cap structured league I would agree but we are not.
-
I see your point, but you're going to have a PR nightmare no matter when you cut him.
True but by waiting you can reduce it some and to think the PR issue isn't key would be foolish...
-
In that case, I believe he'd have been cut by now....
If the decision has been made..there's no negotiating and there's no need to watch workouts.
that why signs suggest he'll be back...
Its being worked out....
Why cut him before u have to and have a PR nightmare.
-
Just wondering why do people get so worked up about what the media is reporting?
-
Could it be the Colts don't care where Peyton is health wise because they are ready to go in a new direction at QB.
-
No I believe see that change while painful is what is best for this franchise long term. Spending millions on damaged goods is just not smart business when you have limited finds to spend.
-
here's an idea
Sign 'em both...and win.
If come early Aug Peyton can show he is 100% then sure but not before why rush into signing him?
-
Here is an idea...cut Peyton an in Aug bring him in for full tests if he passes then evaluate how Luck did over the summer and go from there. If Peyton is so determined to play and only for the Colts he will wait...
-
I also see no reason Peyton would want to waste his final possible shot at a ring on a team with no shot.
-
You only have one strong leader.. Peyton Manning...
..and you have the future....Its not too much money....If Luck plays for $5 mil and Manning plays for 5 Mil and incentives
..and we spent $30 mil on the QB position LAST SEASON....we're being thrifty..
Peyton is already costing us ten million if he doesnt play so it would be 15 under your plan for Peyton or 20 million for the QB position...that is to much...
-
Money...plain and simple u don't tie up that much money in one position that only allows one player to play. Also you don't want two strong leaders at that position...
-
Like has been posted already, if they planned on cutting Manning, why wait? It doesn't get anyone more money, all it does is generate publicity for the team which tells me they plan to keep him.
As for seeing nothing it's like when my wife watches me doing a project in the house. While I'm doing it, there are always flaws that are corrected by later steps in the process so why let the world pick his throwing apart if it is improving and "in progress?" I'm willing to wait for the finished product because until Peyton is happy with his passing, no one else will be either.
Simple Irsay has till March 8 and he has nothing to prove like Peyton does.
-
According to Manning, he want to stay a Colt
According to Irsay, he's willing to talk to keep him a Colt
The door is open, they will renegotiate the deal
Where is the hook?
Which do you think Peyton would rather have...
2-3 remaining of maybe .500 ball at best with the Colts
Or
2-3 remaining years on a team with good odds of being in the playoffs and making the playoffs playing for another team
-
Until we see a roster its hard to tell...I
-
If all is okay then why have we seen nothing? I mean this is real simple call a press conference Peyton and let's see...
-
we have far more youth on this team than we have "aging" players...if you open your eyes and look around, EVERY team has some aging players and some young players and some who are in between...we are no different
Problem is our older players are at all key positions. Our QB, WR, TE, Center, Dline, K, LB. These r key positions and take time to replace. Our young talent is either unproven or not consistant. Add in an entire new coaching staff and plan and you have a process that is going to take a while to get on track.
-
Colts not playoff caliber team till maybe 2014 so why waste the cap space?
-
Not sure how you can justify having someone take up say 15-16 millon dollars of cap space when he is injuried and going on 36 years old.

Only thing that matters is what is in the best interest of the franchise long term and that is going with Luck.
