Luck will pull a Elway and not want to go to Indy. Not because Indy sucks but from everything I am hearing is that while Manning might be out for the year he should recover 100% from this injury. Manning just signed a what? A 5 year contract? Luck will not want to go there and sit as much as 4 years behind Manning.

Lets say hypothetically, that the Colts do end up with the #1 pick. I would say they would be the only team in the league (that are potential candidates to end up with #1 overall) that would trade that pick.

I would agree.

Depending on how our year turns out, that might not be a bad thing. With the new rookie wage scale trading up isn't as much of a financial risk as it use to be. You would still have to give up a s**t tonne (unless we are trying to trade from 2 or 3 to 1. If you try to go from say 10 on up you would probably have to give up your entire draft class.

How long is Manning really out? He''s what 35 or 36 years old and he may only have a realistic 3-4 yrs left if he recovers. I think the Colts would consider it depending on the situation next year, but think of how jealous all the league would be going from Manning to Luck

Rodgers turned out ok.

I don't think Rodgers was "NFL ready" from day one.

and i don't think Luck would suffer if he sat for a couple of years.

Considering it would keep that franchise relevant for another 20+ years... Colts fans would



Considering how much effect Brett Favre had on Aaron Rodgers, I could only imagine what someone like Manning would do for Luck
