As one Manning is at the tippy top of his career, the other
is sadly at the dreary end. The Colts have decided to let Peyton go as QB, deciding
that he really wasn’t worth another huge contract. I’d have to agree with Irsay
in making this decision. Even though I’m sure Irsay and the coaching staff made
this decision purely from a financial standpoint, it’s the right thing to do. I
don’t think coming back to the NFL after suffering from a neck injury is the smartest
thing for Peyton to do. Now that the Colts have ended their horrible season of
2w-14l, it’s time to begin what many would call a new era, and his name is
Andrew Luck.
Although no one has truly confirmed it, it’s almost positive that the Colts, with the 1st pick in the draft will pick the Stanford kid. And this decision seemingly starts a domino effect, as several other teams are looking for a QB too. The Redskins on the other hand would much rather stick with a veteran player than train RG3, which may not be the smartest decision. Overall, I’m looking forward to what happens draft night, as some team are sure to surprise us!
Good read. I'm interested to see what will happen to Peyton by the start of the season. Unfortunately for the Colts, they will most likely have to go into a complete rebuilding mode with Jeff Saturday, their best offense lineman most likely retiring, and free agent wide receiver Reggie Wayne, most likely not returning. Another solid lineman on their team will be retiring as well which is not good news for a rookie quarterback looking to make an immediate impact on the league. As of now, I don't see much success this upcoming season for the Colts. But I am aware of Luck's capabilities as an outstanding quarterback and he has a lot to prove being the number 1 overall pick. Should be an interesting season for the Colts.
