   Does the rivalry between the Colts - and - Patriots have less significance now that Andrew Luck is our QB - instead of Peyton Manning ??

Considering Brady may retire in 2-3 years and Luck may peak around that time or later, it may not be a major rivalry in a couple of years. Interestingly all the other good young QBs are in NFC and Luck will not have a rival unless maybe Texans take Johnny Football?

I think it has less significance.  What made the rivalry (IMO) was the best two quarterbacks playing against each other.

Manning and Brady made the rivalry. Luck may never have similar foe. We are at the end of stuff of legends.

I disagree with that sentiment completely GD. Manning & Brady established the rivalry yes, but if Luck continues to take strides forward, there is no reason to believe that the Colts/NE rivalry cannot be renewed or at least re-invented. 

 

It's all about post season competition & great QBs always rise to the top in certain franchises regardless of jersey name changes. No disrespect toward 18, but at some point, he will retire & the NFL & her fans must keep moving forward. 

 

If the league believed that it would have crumbled after Montana Marino, Kelly, & Elway retired. The beat for greatness always goes on. It never stops.

No..

 

The next time NE comes to Indy....its 'on'

[lollygagger8]

I'll hate the Pats regardless of who their QB is.
