Seems to me baseball has survived with only subtle changes over the years. Though I am not an avid fan, baseball goes on and on. Football needs no radical changes to keep it viable imo. To the contrary, stop messing with it and play the game...might be a better strategy. Greed by all parties will kill the dream that is football before lack of innovation.
"Thats bc the stupid GM built the team around Peyton..."
I'll yield that to you...they let Sorgi go, not a blue chipper, but knew the system and was more capable than any backup or replacement they had. He could have gone at .500 for us imo.
In Indy we love Peyton's little brother...but the utter collapse of the Colts last year without Peyton proved the 4 time MVP was deserved because no one in the league including, Eli, carried their team like Peyton did. No other team, including the Giants and Pats struggled as much without their Starting QB. Both Mannings are future HOFers imo.
Can't blame them for wanting to keep Manning upright! Regardless of cost, I think the tackles that can't handle the job won't be around long. Manning's ability to change the play at the line from pass to run and back again, will challege them to keep their head in the game. Those that can't won't be around long imo.
I became a Colts (homer) the day the Mayflowers arrived. We had plenty of blacked out games before Manning arrived. Rebuilding and the prospect of more losing seasons before they find their way again is not something we are used to. Clearly hoping for better "Luck".
If we have blackouts, we'll just turn to the Broncos game and watch #18!
If I were Luck, I'd want to train with the best. Wayne is that and one of the best route runners in the business, and year after year proved he can improvise when coverage is tight. Luck needs to be in lock step with Wayne what ever it takes.
Reggie has been an effective team leader since Harrison left. And anyway, temps in Indy are hotter than Miami this year.
The governer is deluded imo! Case in point...the Indiana Pacers had a team full of thugs that ruined their chances for a championship run, and nearly destroyed their franchise till they got smart and cleaned house. My advice....get rid of the thugs....normal people can go to a bar till 2:00 AM and still maintain a degree of self control.
I wonder how many teams have from day 1 started their #1 pick QB only to see them fail or flounder. The Colts have an opportunity to let Luck develop AND let Manning gracefully retire. Allowing Luck to study under arguably the best ever QB mind, could produce a new Legend.
I predict, and certainly hope Irsay, Manning and Luck are all in Indy when the season starts.
I just don't see the Colts letting Peyton go anywhere. I imagine Irsay and Peyton will make deal that keeps him here. Luck, a talented Junior, will get the opportunity to study under arguably the greatest on field football mind ever.
I wonder how many teams have started the #1 picked QB only to see them fail. If Colts have any sense at all, the devlop Luck, not throw him into a starting role on day 1 of the season.
