I agree that Peyton's "happy feet" was a matter of his technique and served a purpose for him. Nevertheless, I still never liked it and it always made me somewhat nervous. The fact that Luck didn't do this was also something that I noticed and I even commented to a couple of Colts fan friends of mine about it during the game. We all agreed that it was a refreshing change.

between peyton's bouncing around and the pained look on his face as he throws, luck makes it look easy. he makes it look like he isn't even trying, which i see as a sign of greatness

i'm not questioning manning's technique, but luck's confident calmness sure does look refreshing

I know it's preseason game one but wow.. Luck is phenominal. Effortless. No more happy feet. I'm Impressed and every pass on the money. wow.. future looks brighter than bright

There was nothing wrong with Peyton's happy feet. HoF QBs don't get there with bad footwork. It's a common misconception that his tap dancing was a sign of trouble.

If the ladies can put up with the creepy comments about the Cheerleaders, I expect the men can put up with this.

Actually I make no such comments - creepy or otherwise. I couldn't care less about my wife's rare comments - it's all in good fun - but the fact is that if a porno scene spontaneously broke out on the tv while my wife was in the room, it would just make me uncomfortable. I'd either pretend it wasn't happening (not saying a word, and not even changing the expression on my face) or make some pained noises and change the channel. Cheerleaders? Maybe in high school it's kind of cute, and in college it's part of the "school spirit" that only students can bring, but on the pro level in my opinion it's one of the most absurd wastes of time, money, and space in the history of "civilization". And even ignoring being respectful to my wife, the VAST majority of them do absolutely nothing for me - just a bizarre sideshow comprised of wannabe something or others. I hate to think what it is they wannabe.

Couldn't agree more. The O-line seemed to get a little better as they went on. Yes, they need more time together but I guess people are going to find flaws in anything. Luck was absolutely awesome. Did not get rattled at all and every pass was perfect. The passes that were not completed were all on the recievers. The passes were perfect and his recievers let him down.

Wrong, he over threw Reitz by quite a bit. That being said no one is perfect and I will take near perfect any day of the week :)

Collins sucked from the onset with the Colts. Therefore he merited no consideration or expectation from me. Peyton was some what of a tease in that he was great up until it mattered the most and then he would more times than not come up short. So because I had greater expectations of Peyton (with other Colts fans proclaiming him to be the GOAT or whatever) with it came a greater possibility of a let down. In critical moments of big games (and by big I mean post-season games), I must honestly say that I remember being nervous as heck that Peyton would throw an interception at a crucial moment. Real talk bro. Seeing the "happy feet" just made him appear jittery to me and contributed to my nervousness doing those moments. I realize one did not necessarily have anything to do with the other, but the combination of seeing those gut wrenching interceptions and Peyton's bouncing feet just had the effect of making me more nervous than calm whenever the chips were really down. I still see Peyton as a legend but not as infallible as some revisionists want to make him out to be. In the regular season at crunch time, he was MONEY but in the post-season...with the exception of that faithful AFC Championship game in 06...not as much.

Like I acknowledged, I believe the foot movement was technique based and Peyton had sound reasons for doing it. Granted...it still made this Colts fan nervous to see it. What can I say MAC...sue me. :P

I know that Collins was lousy, that was the entire reason for mentioning him. You're basing your entire "analysis" off of feet. I was demonstrating how meaningless that is.

You can relax, I'm not going to sue you, :) but I should point out that the reason I responded is because this entire conversation sounds like something I might have had in 2004 with one of my Eagles fan co-workers whose entire knowledge of Peyton came from watching him lose to New England in the playoffs. That's when this line of thinking was the raging argument by those who equated his moving his feet with the fact that Belichicks LBs got after him and forced some poor decisions. One had nothing to do with the other, and even non-Colts fan have seen Peyton do amazing things a time or twenty in the playoffs since then.

The point is that this entire argument is a code phrase for "cracks under pressure", which is frankly both absurd and insulting.

Slow your roll player...

The line is as bad as we thought it could be. Lots of work to be done there if Luck is going to have success.

Actually the line played pretty good. We rushed for over 100 yards and had over 400 yards of offense..........oh and 38 points.

No line wins the battle every single play or even every drive. One sack I believe they gave up?

You are more correct than I am, I admit it. The line started out horrible on the second possession but got better. The Rams strength is on their D-line, so it was a decent test. There were plays where our guys were being tossed around like rag dolls, but there were some where they held their own. It's definitely a work in progress. I'm encouraged that some of our backups look good too.

The yards and points are meaningless after the first units come out for each team. In past years when we were good we'd routinely lose games to lesser teams in the preseason. Forget those stats.

Don't mean to disparage Peyton at all. As I said he is a legend. At the same time I won't act like he was infallible either. He has cracked before as others have. He is human after all. But that doesn't necessarily define him as a choker. The totality of his career here was greatness and I acknowledge that he had much success with us.

My feelings of nervousness over Peyton's happy feet have more to do with my quirks than it does with any flaw in Peyton himself. It's the mind tripping that goes on in my head when watching nervously as a Colts season hangs in the balance. Rationally or not the constant figeting did little to alleviate my already present feelings of nervousness. I like that with Luck I won't have to worry about any of that but I am not saying that this means that he is or will be better than Manning.

This is a what have you done for me lately league - certainly Colts fans will never forget Manning, but I figure a day will come where most will move on and eventually stop mentioning his name every time the Colts are discussed.

No one will ever fill Peyton's shoes. I don't care if Luck is the single best quarterback the world has ever seen, he will NEVER be Peyton Manning.

That's the thing...Luck doesn't have to be Peyton. If he does indeed, as many analysts seem to believe, win 6 Super Bowls and blow every passing record out of the water, he still won't be loved by the entirety of his fanbase, and that's just not fair. No, Manning won't ever be forgotten, but talents from the past can easily be eclipsed with greater success from the successor. Talk to Drew Bledsoe if you don't believe me...

Trust me, in a relatively fairweather mid sized market like Indy, if Luck wins at least 2 SBs and 2 MVPs, he will be on par with Peyton. Peyton himself and fans/players would exchange 2 MVPs for an extra SB any day, IMO. Just like a bunch of young fans started following the Colts just after Peyton was drafted, there will be a bunch of younger ones that will follow the Colts more after Luck starts winning. Just like I have little allegiance to Johnny Unitas or any kind of soft corner for him like I do with Peyton, the trend will continue with Luck era newbie Colts fans. If you were in the 80s and loved 80s music, you will swear that it is the best music you could have grown up with. That is just the way things are in life. Everything is transient, even HOF players.

Only thing that is constant is the laundry that is sold to you as a franchise and for the most part, the family of owners too. :)

Believe it or not, Manning wasn't loved by the entirety of the fanbase. Some people are immune to reason.

But I would think that if Luck does blow the numbers out of the water, the level headed fans who resent him because he "replaced" Manning would come around eventually, so long as Luck doesn't rub their face in it.

As far as Drew Bledsoe, he wasn't as good as Manning, nor did he do as much for his team and city as Manning has done for the Colts and Indianapolis. Not downplaying Bledsoe, but he never reached that rarefied air that Manning did.

I'll stand by my previous statement that in my opinion if Manning doesn't develop as he did, there would be no such thing as the Indianapolis Colts in the current NFL.

Others can agree or disagree, but there is not one thing that can/will dispel that thought from my mind.

No doubt about that.

Unitas put Baltimore Colts on the map and possibly the AFC too, other than the Namath guarantee :). Peyton did the same for the Indianapolis Colts.

Luck will, hopefully, be a competent torch carrier. The tradition for Luck has been set, a tradition of winning that the Colts are known for. He just needs to keep it moving forward.

Unitas in Baltimore and Peyton in Indy established that consistent winning tradition that we now cherish. :) They were the trend setters.

True. I wonder if those few Colts fans who did not love Manning are the old-timers from the Unitas glory days. I don't think Luck is the type to rub someone's face in if he is very successful, but who knows, six SBs would make anyone arrogant. :D Manning's rarefied air is just that...rarefied. Not just for the Colts, but for the league lol. No wonder 12 is having a hard time with the fans hahaha.

OK. He had some accomplishments.

I think Luck has him trumped.

NFL accomplishments

One very good half in a preseason game, against one of the worst teams in football.

Six MVPs? Three SBs? There has to be a ceiling or poor Luck is going to feel unappreciated. :(

Luck would have to go back in time, and teach a 6 year old boy everything hew knows about the game by watching him play. I highly doubt that's possible.

I mean I use to sit alone in my back yards going through the passes Manning threw each game.

Like Superman said, Luck can be the greatest of all time. He doesn't touch Peyton in my mind.

Very much so. Like FJC said, without Manning, it's very possible the Colts leave Indianapolis rather than having LOS built. He's not just a really good quarterback. He helped build something that's going to last for a very long time. I can see that, and I don't live in the region.

The only other player in the league right now that has that kind of presence and importance is Drew Brees. Some are turned off by him because of his contract issue and his support for his teammates through the bounty issue, but he helped the New Orleans region in a very real way after Hurricane Katrina. He's not as big there as Manning was to Indy, but the same kind of attachment is there. Probably won't be as meaningful after he leaves, either.

Maybe Ray Lewis has this status in Baltimore.

I had a ton of trees in my yard, so they always became targets.. I wasn't young enough to pretend to be Manning, but I did the same Bradshaw/Fouts and others, with the trees being my Swann/Stallworth & Winslow/Chandler

The only "targets" I had was the occasional car that drove through the alley. Boy would my heart drop when I let the ball go, and a second later a car appeared as it pass my neighbor's garage.

Cars became more of a target during baseball season. Of course there were a few broken windows here and there as well.
