08:03 AM ET 09.20 | In 2009, Jeff George was eyeing a return to the NFL, and he is apparently at it again. With some fans suggesting that the Colts use their 0-2 start as a reason to tank it and win the rights to draft Stanford's Andrew Luck, one memorable Indianapolis passer from yesteryear believes he could be the answer for the Peyton Manning-less squad. That would be 43-year-old Jeff George, the once-strong-armed (and still-cantankerous) passer whom the Colts chose with the first overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft following a blockbuster trade. [According to a tweet from a Los Angeles Times writer:] "Just talked to Jeff George, who lives in Indy and says he could pick up that Colts offense in a matter of days."

They might as well get Jeff Garcia. With that O-line they need somebody mobile.

From Brett Favre to Jeff George ... who's next? Jaworski? Might as well make Gruden the HC at the same time. Caldwell is a bigger problem than Collins.

That may be the only idea worse that Favre coming back.

It's not just Peyton Manning though. The colts have been on the decline since their SB win. With Manning they still may not have made the playoffs.
At least they'll have Luck next year.

But bringing in George or Favre WOULD make good, funny television.

He may be able to pick up the offensive scheme but can he pick up himself after he has been hit?

Bill Polian: "We need to do something to make sure we get Andrew Luck."
Jeff George: "I can help with that!"

Bring back George, then go get Ocho and TO. Imagine the three of them fighting in the huddle over who gets thrown to. Getcha popcorn ready!

Has anyone seen Mannings X-rays? How coincidental that he have this mysterious neck ailment during a year in which some teams seem to be tanking their season in order to draft Andrew Luck.

No, the verb tense is subjunctive. "Were" is correct.
