Problem with that is he would actually bring some intelligence and knowledge to the game so ESPN is defiantly out of the question.

I think Peyton would be excellent and I much rather hear him than say Troy Aikman.

I would love to hear him cover games. That would be amazing. I like Peyton a lot as person; he's a great guy.

The Colts need a good person to work hands on with Luck, and Manning is not going to be the one to do it. My gut tells me he goes into politics after he's done with football, since he's technically, already treated like a politician anyway. 

 

Just cause he was an awesome quarterback don't mean he's going to be an awesome coach or GM. This could backfire.

As far as an executive position goes....everyone in Tennessee not named Marcus Mariota seems to have the word "interim" attached to their official title.

If he's truly eyeing a post-career executive position, I'd put my money on the Titans.

As far as an NFL ownership?

I hope/dream/hallucinate that in a few years Peyton leads an ownership group in the purchase of a majority interest in...yes...the Indianapolis Colts, with Peyton the managing general partner.

With all due respect to Carlie Irsay...that, IMO, would be the best possible stewardship of the Colts franchise.

Now that I'm done planning out other people's lives I'm gonna get me a coffee. :P

Jim Irsay is only 56. I'm thinking from his cold dead hands is the only way that would happen.

I still think when Peyton retires, he'll take some time off from football and focus on his family. He doesn't have to be in a rush to come back, and honestly he doesn't owe anyone anything. The man can do as he pleases. 

I would think so as well, but Peyton seems like a guy that eats, breathes and sleeps football.  He actually looks forward to training camp.  Guarantee, he doesn't stay away from the sport for too long in some capacity, whether it's commentary, coaching or management.

I hope Peyton stays in football in some capacity. It would be weird to see him disappear completely. I do think he may try something different like acting.

Peyton does have a knack for comedy & making fun of his celebrity status. He was hilarious on SNL being a bad influence on small kids AMF.

First of all, as a 59 year-old....thanks for saying he's "only 56"! :)

You're probably right, but if the Irsay family ever did decide to cash out I'd be rooting for Peyton all the way.

He'd no doubt run a first class operation from top to bottom.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario.

      I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR

      Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start!

      Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB.

      Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
