I mean this with no malice. To those who are self proclaimed Manning fans (not Colts fans), what happens once he retires? Do you go scouting the NCAAF for new idols to follow? Do you fall-back on your second favourite player behind Manning and go all in with them? Do you just fall on another hall of famer and choose that option? Or perhaps you don't really have a fall back, and stick to Baseball etc?

Just wondering really, as it is a strange concept to me. Maybe it's because I have the 'one team one team only' soccer fan upbringing like most of the world has (outside of the USA).

I have to admit, I'll be rooting for Peyton. He is the reason I became a football fan, not just a Colts fan. I saw him play college ball at Tennessee and I started following his game and then football in general. When he came to Indiana, I moved here shortly afterwards. I became a big Colts fan because of Peyton and I will hold onto my Colts season tickets and cheer them on! But, if Peyton comes to town, I'll be cheering for him for the duration of his career. :manning: :goat:

Judging by the votes it looks like there are a lot of badwagon fans. Pathetic. While I am very ticked about Peyton, I will ALWAYS be a Colts fan

I'm with you... I can't believe how close this poll is. It is making me sick. I guess on the bright side in a few weeks once it finally hits home that he's not here, most of these people will leave and join the forum of wherever he ends up.

The amount of bandwagoners just hurts. No matter how good he was, even if he lead to all the victories by himself the COLTS come first and if you are not of that opinion , come speak your mind as to why you are still a colts fan... if you are one. being hurt and betrayal for your team are two things on the different side of the spectrum

I am a Manning fan and proud of it. What some people seem to not understand is there are thousands of us who have followed him since his highschool days and through his college days at Tennessee and that is why we became fans of the Colts is because he went there and for no other reason. Heck probably half the state of Tennessee are Colts fans because of Peyton. Other than Peyton we had no other reason to be a Colts fan. They were a losing organization for years. Before Peyton I had never set foot in your beloved state or city. Since, I have made several trips to Indy for games and bought many a Colts Item. There has been millions of $$ spent by us so called" fair weather fans". I have no ill will toward the Colts because they let Peyton go. It was a business decesion that was best for both parties in the long run. Peyton gets a shot at another SB that he more than likely would not get with the Colts and the Colts get there QB of the future and start to rebuild. Will I pull against the Colts when Peyton plays them.......You darn right I will but not because I hate the Colts but because I am a Peyton fan no matter where he goes. I will continue to wear my Colts SB jacket for one reason and that is because it has the #18 SB MVP on it . I hope the Colts have good LUCK in the future but for the last 14 years we both have got to enjoy seeing and knowing not only the greatest QB in the game today but also a first class person in every way. Now I have to wait and see what my next color scheme will be of the team he goes to next........LOL

What were you planning to do when he retired? Support whatever retirement home he went into?

No doubt for me. It's Colts all the way.

However, I will always root for Manning to do well, and would love to see him land another Super Bowl, if possible, as long as he doesn't end up with the Ravens, Jags, Titans, Cowboys, or Jets. I just can't bring myself to root for those teams, no matter what. I'd add the Pats, but there is no chance of that happening, so I feel safe there.

      If the Colts lose against the Bears.

      By ImissPeyton18 · Posted

      The Colts, desperate for a long term solution at Quarterback, picked one in a miserable draft for qb,s. Should have went with another left tackle or defense. Should have spent thier money on Carr or Mayfield. this would have locked the position down for at least 5 or 6 years. By then maybe another prospect will come along or at least be in position to make a better decision. For gods sake, who thought it was a good idea to pick a player with so few tools and experience. He is not only a young rookie ,he is new to the position of quarterback in college much less the NFL. Yes he is gifted, he can throw the ball a mile. So could I at 22 years old but doing it in professional football no way.

      I mean, may it take longer for AR to reach his full potential because of his age, rawness, and lack of experience….maybe yes maybe be no, but that’s for any qb.  There’s maybe one qb every few or so years that comes in and is ready to go.  Look at the past 5-10 drafts and you’ll see what I’m saying.  Even Pat Mahomes had to sit before he touched the field.  Trust me, it’s a short list.     NFL fans (and teams alike) have been spoiled with the thought of QBs coming in right away and getting into done when in reality that’s not the case.  ARs timeline/trajectory is going to be very similar to Josh Allen’s and tbh Allen didn’t start to really get it until Diggs came around.  A QBs development is dependent upon not just the qb himself, but the personnel, the coaches, the system.     Question, what would you have done in our situation?  Draft Levis?  I mean, I agree with you, I was one of the people on this board that wanted to do whatever we needed to get stroud, but it didn’t happen.  So We were either going to draft AR or Levis.  And if you didn’t want either one of them then you’re pretty much onboard with a full blown rebuild and waiting until next year because no other qb was worth drafting in the first round.  And to be real, AR would’ve been a top 3 QB in this past draft also.
