If the Colts get the #1 pick?

[Swarly]

Never say never about the Raiders. (or the Redskins)

Raiders are the only team stupid enough to do it, but....

they have no valuable draft picks this year lolz

[Gazi]

Only after you find out for certain that Luck can play at the NFL level.

Second top paid player on the team riding the bench? Not happening.

[Jackofalltrades]

Kalil to keep Manning upright.

Second top paid player on the team riding the bench? Not happening.

With a rookie salary cap, I seriously doubt he will be the second highest paid player on the team. Might not even be top 5.

[Dpantherman]

Shanny would trade for Peyton in a heartbeat

[YoungPanthers89]

let him sit and learn from the master

[JawnyBlaze]

If they draft Luck, I don't think that means Peyton is gone or that Luck HAS to start right away. Smart football people know that just because Cam and some others have come in and started right away and been successful doesn't mean it's the best way to do it, or that even the Almighty Luck COULD do it. It means there's a good chance he could, but it all comes down to the individual. I don't think anyone would argue that Luck, Cam, or any other rookie QB would benefit and be a better player in the long run from sitting for a season behind the greatest QB ever to play the game.

a season behind the greatest QB ever to play the game.

Marino had the records but Montana has the rings.

At least Manning has a ring. Maybe the best mind to play QB, but greatest QB ever...

:D the former 49er fan in me. twhs

Well with no rings, it seems like the system failed...and that comes from a person whose first jersey was a Marino.

[SOJA]

what are a couple extra draft picks to the Colts, if Manning never plays again

the Colts proved they are nothing without Manning.....I say draft him let him learn, and blow up the team and start building again

[Mr. Scot]

Would they really trade Manning? Luck might be the next coming of Cam :cam: but really, do you trade away a proven QB even at 85% for an unknown QB?

From some of what I've read, 85% might be generous.

[The_Cannon]

So if Luck only becomes a decent QB is he labeled a bust?

[Jackofalltrades]

Brady is the greatest ever...for now.
