I agree with the sentiment, but since its not yet "done", lets not jump to conclusions about "how it was".

Both players have gushed over manning, so i'm not reading into their statements (anymore).

That said, if Manning is 100% and not a colt, then we always knew it was about money and that is just wrong.

Although I agree that Peyton should redo his contract, I believe that Irsay and Peyton both need to bend on this. By Irsay saying that he would love Peyton to retire a Colt, he's leaving a very vague scenario. This could mean that he would offer Peyton very little gauranteed money and he would still look good because he would simply say that Peyton didn't like the contract and chose to leave. This wouldn't be right either. If healthy and throwing well, Peyton still deserves a starting QB salary. Maybe not the Huge deal but respectable none the less. Both sides need to realize the others needs and work together. Peyton shouldn't need to get rich from "this" contract and Irsay needs to realize that he's not signing a backup or a delivery boy either.

Considering the Colts paid PM $26.4MM last season, if the restructured contract provided PM with zero salary for 2012, the average payment over 2 years is an average annual compensation of $13.2MM, and is a perfectly respectable starting elite QB salary.

Tom Brady;s last season average annual compensation of $15.7MM

Drew Brees' last season average annual compensation of $10MM

Pretty sure the players union nor he agent would allow that to happen..

So if you led your company in sales and your company was one of the top 8 for 11 years, but the one year you are sick, your company declares bankruptcy.

When you come back you're making nothing?

Would you agree to that?

If I led my company in sales, and was one of the top 8 for 11 years, but one year I was sick, my company suffered financial loss, yet paid me a huge salary and bonus, such that together they represented the compensation of a top salesman for 2 years work while I did nothing, and now my company needs me back, I think I would forego my salary for one year to continue working.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      Not trying to over simplify but it is pretty simple. SS calls plays that he believes will work against a certain defense and he has confidence his players will execute that play. The results right now are that his players are NOT capable of executing those plays on a consistent basis enough to win games. The only question moving forward is, do we have good enough players to start to execute more consistently or not and is SS making it as easy as possible for players to be consistent. It's not just a talent thing. It's a attitude and smart thing and then the level of talent. Most of the time, the best players are the smartest players with the right attitude. How talented they are is a bonus. My point, i question our teams attitude and football intelligence as much as I question their talent. Ex.....Stopping the run is as much attitude as it is talent. A big part of why JT is JT, is because of his intellegence.

      Thanks for the updates.  I made my "first pass" projected picks based on where the players are ranked on tankathon right now.  Obviously, subject to change!

      Too Soon to Panic

      The biggest problem is that the rest of the team is playing like trash around the rookie QB.    Of course the essentially rookie QB that has played 6 NFL games is going to be a rollercoaster.  He's known to have accuracy issues, and is for some reason being forced to be a pocket passer.    When the highest paid O-line in the league can't block, that's problem.  When the WR's can't catch passes that bounce off their hands, that's a problem.  When the highly invested in $$ D-Line (like 5 1st or 2nd rd players) can't block and LB's get consistenly washed, that's a problem.  When the highest paid kicker in the league can't kick and gets hurt constantly, that's a problem.  When the defensive scheme is to "bend not break" but the bends are to the tune of 100 yards a series, that's a problem.   Now's the time to strike in other areas while you have a QB on a rookie contract. Actually, this all should've been figured out already by the GM and all positions should've been rock solid by now.
