It's not that crazy IMO after watching this video.

The Colts are almost a lock for the #1 pick. The colts owner talks about getting Peyton's heir apparent in place.
The a**hole la confora made some good points Peyton wants to win now, they are 0 - 16 they lack talent star players are likely leaving.
He thinks Peyton will be traded on draft day if the colts get andrew luck. Let's assume he does get traded what teams will Peyton want to go to?
Eliminated teams that already have a Franchise QB/paid a lot of money to a QB
Arizona - Kolb, Atlanta - Ryan, Buffalo - Fitzpatrick, Chicago - Cutler, Cowboys - Romo, Green Bay - Rodgers, Houston - Schaub, Kansas CIty - Cassel,
New England - Brady, New Orleans - Brees, New York Giants - Manning, Oakland - Palmer, Philadelphia - Vick, Pittsburg - Roethlisberger, San Diego - Rivers.
Eliminated teams that already started building around young qb's that are doing well or are top pick rookies
Baltimore - Flacco, Carolina - Newton, Cincinnati - Dalton, Detroit - Stafford, Jacksonville - Gabbert, Minnesota - Ponder, New York Jets - Sanchez,
St.Louis - Bradford, Tampa Bay - Freeman, Tennessee - (both departments) Hasselbeck/Locker,
That only leaves 7 teams left:
Cleveland - coach that selected McCoy already fired, Denver - Tebowmania can't last forever, Miami - solid but they just fired their Head Coach,
San Francisco - seems to be only a good passing team away from contending for the Lombardi, Seattle - didn't break the bank on Jackson, Washington.
If Manning wants a chance to win now, we have the best record of these 7 teams and really the best formula, Denver is the only other team with a shot at the playoffs but they have an inconsistent formula of winning that only works if Tebow is playing. Thoughts?
