I agree that he will land in Miami. And he’ll be extremely upset that Big Bmarsh doesn’t catch, or run routes, as well as he should.

Manning is done. Just because he suckered the Colts for $24 million last season doesn’t mean they’ll fall for it again and give him another $28 million this year. He made over $35 million each of the last two years and his net worth is estimated at well over $100 million. Colts will cut him loose and everyone will see that he’s done. He’s trying to string it out so some team will throw some cash at him. He’s just a greedy swamp boy.

I am really starting to get the feeling the Colts want Peyton to just go away. Very sad, but I can’t help but get that vibe. They want to start fresh with a new QB, coach, GM, staff, etc. and Peyton is still there lingering, sort of complicating things for them.

“Peyton we’ve decided to go in a different direction.”

“Remember Joe Montanna as a Chief? Nobody wants to see you end up like that.”

If Manning does sign with another team, that team better have a very good pass-protecting offensive line. Three of the teams rumored to be interested in Manning are the Cardinals, Dolphins and Seahawks. Those three teams were 2, 3 and 4 respectively in sacks allowed.
However the Titans were 30th in sacks allowed. Manning would surely be an upgrade over Hasselbeck, certainly knows the Division and with Johnson in the backfield could get Tennessee into the playoffs.

They are treating Peyton like a bum. Show the guy who brought your franchise out of crapper some respect. I hope he signs with another team…he deserves better. The colts are garbage with mediocre wideouts (who are injury prone), horrible running game (who are injury prone), and a defense that is garbage excluding the two defensive ends.

I just can’t see getting rid of Manning. Maybe he and the team can work something out with that $28 million to give him more time. I think he deserves that at the very least. He has been all Colts since coming into the league.

Atleast we now have a GM who is willing to share his thoughts with the media. Although we may not like what we hear atleast we hear it.

This is no doubt a transistion period for the Colts. Seems like all the teams that dominated the last decade are gonna start falling behind like the Colts. While the younger teams are on the rise like the Lions.

Colts win 9 games with Peyton.
Colts will win 6 games with Luck.

At least. There are 21 other starting posistions that the Colts need to address as well.

Manning still has some problems with velocity and distance, but if he continues to be faithful to his training regimen I am confident that he will heal to the point where he can toss that quarter 20-25 times per Papa John’s commercial filming.

It is starting to appear that the Colts have no clue at this time on which way to go. I respect Peyton’s Q/B abilites (sp) but it is time to move away from him, and he needs to retire. No need for him to end up crippled for life just for a game. He would be one hell of a Q/B coach, that would excell into a O/C to a H/C in time. I would love to have him in Houston as the offensive guru. Peyton running the offense along with Wade running the defence, we would dominate the league for a long time.

How long has Kenny Powers been the Colts G.M?
Not pleased he left Eastbound and Down.
