If the Colts are gonna draft Luck, why not just trade Manning?

Lets be real, Manning will probably play for another 3-5 years. Are they just gonna have Luck sit on the bench for that long of a time with dudes like Newton, Bradford,etc coming straight into the league and starting. I mean why keep Manning at this point when truth of the matter is the Colts run is over and you're paying a lot of money to a aging qb.

What do you think they're gonna do, draft Luck and sit him behind Manning or just trade Manning and get something for him?

    Brah, Manning will be back next year and will still be a productive QB. Dudes career is far from ? done, ? up neck and all. You see the garbage ass QB's in the league right now?

    because they will have just paid him $28 million. if you pay him that much, it would be stupid to trade him

    That would be a good fit for Peyton. He basically would run the offense himself, and let the other coaches work on getting that D like it was in years past. He would have some good weapons to throw the ball to, and he would open up the running game too, because teams would be forced to respect the passing attack.

    Because it's going to be hard to trade Manning , obviously somethin career threatning wise is wrong if you reach a point of "Lets just trade Peyton Manning" one of the greatest of all-time , a team is going to want to know why you're trading him

    And no Manning is not going to be playing no 3-5 years, he'll be lucky if he plays another one at all....

    you keep thinking about "Oh he's good to go now' , nobody knows how he will respond in physical contact, he cant even get right to practice how the ? is this dude gonna play Contact football in the NFL ??....he himself doesn't know his own time table every interview it's on some "Well im hopeful it will be......."

    One good shot could put this guy in a wheel chair , the guy has had 3 surgeries in a 19 month span

    new reports have said the percentage of him retiring have increased over 50% ....

    i still say Peyton will never play again, the guy had every record in sight just about as a QB and we know Manning just doesn't miss games clearly his injury is career threatning ..

    Nobody is gonna wanna trade for a QB who no one knows how he will react when he's in pads again and making $20 Mil per season ..

    Montana, Young

    Favre, Rodgers

    its been done before.....

    Ideally, you DON'T want to toss a Rookie QB into the fire if you can help it. That's why Reid barely let McNabb play his rookie season. Great NFL QBs just don't come into the league dominating like Shaq or Jordan or Kareem. Dan Marino is about the only exception I can think of.

    peyton will be traded or he'll retire ..... INDY will want to move on and that will force peyton to make some tough decisions .


    u never know INDY might offer the boy the offensive coordinator spot that would fit him perfectly with luck coming in ....

    pretty much

    i wouldn't trade him

    i'll wait and see if he can come back

    and then let luck sit back and learn

    i highly doubt luck wouldn't want to learn from the smartest qb to ever play the game

    and plz don't bring up no "look at curtis painter" ?

    nugga couldn't hold andrew luck left nut on the football field

    that nugga is ass cheeks

    I think Manning is done. Once i read he was going overseas for stem cell i've just figured that it's a wrap for his career. and Manning's salary is a monster with that new contract and a serious neck injury. not gonna be easy to trade.

    If they were smart they would flip luck Into some talent to help mannings ass .... Maybe a RB/CB/T whatever the case maybe teams will give up the farm to land luck ... Muthafuckas actin like luck can't be a bust .... Give me the proven HOF guy who just had this same team in the playoffs last season over some unknown rookie

    Peyton Manning will be 36 years old when he comes back for a full season next year. I mean, besides Brett Favre..........What quarterback plays in their 40's? Why would you want to continue to build your franchise around an old ass quarterback that just went through neck surgery? Luck could possibly be a bust but you still have to at least attempt to set your team up for success in the future.

    Nothing about mannings game suggest a fall off .... No indication what so ever ... So ur telling me ur going to just dump this HOF who just last year Lost by one point in the playoffs with this same exact as team ...for a guy that albeit looks good but is unproven?? Why?? Look bruh it's 2012 medicine advancements/workouts are going to allow certain athletes to play longer these days ... It ain't the 60's

    Nothing about Mannings' game suggest a fall off but age does. You can't compete with age. He's almost 40 dawg. Like I asked on the post you quoted, "what QB's besides Brett Favre plays in their 40's? <
    In this day age with medicine advancements? His time is almost up. Earlier in this thread I posted that they can't trade him because nobody is going to want to take on that big ass contract for an old as QB with a neck injury. I don't think you just dump Peyton but you definately look towards your future. You can't do that by building a team around yo old ass QB who's going to leave sooner than later. Their great chances of getting a high draft pick with the amount of talented QB's coming out of college this year may not ever happen again. Have to take advantage of that. Not get running backs that come a dime a dozen.

    To be honest i never understood this when it comes to football. Shouldnt you always be improveing your team?

    Its like saying we not gon bulid this team up till we get lucky and get a QB.

    In basketball I understand. You have to have different pieces depending on your best player.

    But in football you should always be looking for a good DFF and a good OFF.
