I think he has 1 or 2 more years left in him, and I totally disagree with Tony Dungy when he says they might trade him. And they won't just let him go. Maybe if they want to trade him, get some early round picks and/or ca$h. I could see the Jaguars or the Seahawks maybe trying to get him. But I think he'll be staying in Indy. Or he could just retire and get into the HOF sooner? Ya....
If the Colts dont draft Luck with the #1 pick, it will be the biggest mistake in NFL draft history.
A. Manning may never play again.
B. Look how bad they are without Manning. All the reason to draft his replacement when the chance is there
I would personally draft Luck and have him sit a year. If Manning wants to continue to play/can continue to play you either play him for a second year and give Luck the reigns in year 3 or trade Manning and play Luck in year 2. Manning will get the Colts a #1 pick, and possibly a high one, if they trade him before/on a draft day and not after (where Manning would put up wins, making the pick worse). No reason to be loyal and handicap your franchise when you can set it up to transition from Manning to Luck. It would be idiotic. This is a business, and I, as all Colts fans do, love Manning. But it isnt smart to let him hang around with his health when you can have Luck.
Unfortunately if Polian is still in charge....the Colts will fuck it up.
