It makes ALOT more sense. Manning is more valuable to us then other teams right now due to his age and time in what amounts to his own personalized system. Luck is valuable to any team that needs a QB right now.

Play him if Manning is done, otherwise hold him hostage to the highest bidder. :2c:

It's not spin control....read the actual quote -

"I would see [Peyton] competing and playing as long as he wanted. And if it gets to the point to where, hey, he comes back and it looks like he's gonna play three or four more years, and you say, 'We've got Andrew Luck, we've got an asset, we trade [Peyton]. I think that asset is too much to pass up, even if your quarterback wasn't all that happy about it."

Dungy didn't say "Peyton" he said "him". We've got him, we've got an asset, we trade him. Him is Andrew Luck.

It is spin control and I did read the quote. It contridicts the original quote, so yes, its spin control.

I agree as well. As the idea sounds too crazy from a former coach and Dungy just doesn't want to be hated by his old fans, as far as he realized this he found a way out for himself.

I read the article and this isn't spin control. They basically put words in his mouth or elaborated for him. The end of the quote was."....you trade"(Manning)

The article added (Manning). Dungy only said "...you trade"

If you ever read the newspaper, they do this all the time. They will elaborate a quote with ( words) but usually they know what they're talking about.

I think that article was trying to manufacture some buzz.

Sorry but that's wrong. Read my post above. Articles often elaborate for the reader with, for example (Manning).

The article wrote "....you trade(Manning)"

Which is very different than"...you trade Manning"

The latter is a word for word quote while the first is a elaboration on "....you trade" the author decided that was too open ended and put words in his mouth.

IMO Dungy left it open ended because its not his decision to make such a choice.

I think its cool we(me and Dungy) think alike on this matter.

See what I did there?

This is often done to clarify a quote that is taken out of context. When you take a few sentences out of a larger statement, as journalists often do to make it more concise, oftentimes the pronouns do not make obvious sense. The journalist will often replace the pronouns in the quote with more specific nouns enclosed in []s to clarify. Unscrupulous journalists will sometimes abuse this. Always be wary when you read a quote that contains words enclosed in []s. Those []s mean that the person being quoted didn't actually say those specific words. Also watch out for ...s. The ... means that there were additional words here that aren't being printed. If this is done by a good journalist, the words are omitted for editorial reasons to make it more concise. If it is done by an unscrupulous journalist, they could be deliberately taking the quote out of context to misrepresent the meaning.

wow well that was a big error, took him a while to clear up his comment though.

I agree it seems like too big a gaff to not have clear it up earlier . . . i do not see SNF, what was his position then . . .

Also, if you have Luck, then presumably you would of had the #1 overal pick, doesn't it make more sense to have said "you trade the draft pick" if TD was meaning to talk about Luck as opposed to Manning being traded . . .

Makes much more sense now. Though I still wouldn't be in favour of trading Luck if we get him. With that said, according to some, "Luck's draft rights could reap two full years of a team's picks" and we do need a lot of help at many positions. There are so many different scenarios, I'm just going to wait and see.

Exactly, its more than just Peyton that we need. I say trade him for whoever wants him and at least this years pick(meaning switch with the team with 3rd overall pick) to select a back up to a returning manning. Then use the other picks to fill the major holes that Peyton's absence has exposed. also i like the cat from boise state. i think he would be a could pick up and take advantage of the serious demand for luck.

Oh WOW!!!! Because Tony Dungy said that, we have to listen to him. I don't care if he said trade both, I still wouldn't listen to him. He has as much of an opinion as anyone on this forum. I just don't care. Love him but don't care. Don't care (thought I should make that clear).

We can get 2 1st round picks for the No,.1 overall picks..

Since we draft 1st in the 2nd round, too..that gives us 3 of the first 33 picks...

I like Kellen Moore of Boise, too...We can take him and two of the top defensive players

..or just 3 defensive players

      Steelers Colts Predictions

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      It’s unfortunate when they just got their first win. If Lewis and paye can’t go we basically only have one DE. No rotation so Steelers will just wear this term down. I was do excited for this game now I am really mad. I was really looking forward to it. The offense might be able to make up for defense but not if Kelly and smith can go.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Boondoggle · Posted

      This is where quality of your coach is so important.  And I think Shane is a quality coach to handle this situation.  Also I agree he is doing it right.  It's ugly, but he is balancing a big investment at QB with his job security which is very tough.   Running QBs often reach that point where the staff decides they are never going to learn to win from the pocket, and it is then you see the scheme revert back to college type approach and general simplicity to allow them to translate to the field.  But to get to that point you need to at least give the QB the opportunity.  Because once they do reach that point the team will usually be looking for another QB.   The way you build a perennial winner is finding a QB who can give you an edge from the pocket.  Given that, mobility and off schedule instincts are an advantage and desired.  But the latter will never trump the former because if your QB needs to be in space to see the defense and make his throws then defenses will be able to shut him down in the playoffs.  QBs like that don't win 3 or 4 games in a row against the best defenses in the league, which is required to hoist a Lombardi.   I mean look at Allen.  He developed the ability to win from the pocket.  He has had good teams around him.  He is a dominant run threat.  And he still has come up short in the playoffs.  When there are guys like him and Mahomes with rosters around them, you aren't gonna get past them with a QB who can't do the job from the pocket.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By ADnum1 · Posted

      I compared AR to Mike Vick recently but didn't get alot of reaction.   AR may never fix his accuracy issues like Vick who struggled with short and intermediate accuracy his entire career.    But Vick was a dynamic runner and could hit the deep bombs with just a flick of the wrist.   Vick resurrected a very sad Falcons franchise and I was a huge fan.   If AR became Vick 2.0 would Colts fans be happy ? I would be

      Seems like this team gets a lot of untimely injuries that come out of nowhere. Smith and Kelly, Lewis injuries just appeared out of nowhere. None of those injuries were even mentioned after the Bears game.   Hopefully Smith and Lewis plays because that means more reps for Bryan and Freeland. 😭

      Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.
