Plus we already found our QB of the future last night.

We'll know by the April 2012 draft
IF Manning will play again. If he does, then our Top 10 pick will be interesting. Do we go after a replacement for Mathis? What about a shutdown corner? Or, do we get the best WR available to replace the aging Reggie Wayne? Best RB in the draft?
What do you think?

Trade Donald Brown for KC's #1 and trade Jerry Hughes for Seattle's #1.
We would then have the top three picks. Surely they would agree to such deals?
I get what you are saying but...
KC, Bengals, St. Louis, Denver, Miami, Jax, and Seattle will all have something to say about that. I expect the Colts will end up between 3-13 and 5-11 which secures than a Top 10. It’s going to take a 2-14 record to get the number one pick this year. Don’t think the Colts are “bad” enuff. We still play the Bengals, Jax twice and Chiefs (the Luck Bowl) this year. Personally, I would love for the colts to finish with the number 1 pick, trade down a few spots to a team that covets Luck and pick up a few more picks.

good news
Season is lost , I would keep collins on the bench and play painter to see if he gets any better handling pressure and focus the team on developing the run game and getting better at defense for when manning returns next year! anddddd get a high draft pick in the process!

Can't wait until game 7
when Peyton and Tressel are shown in the press box with matching sweater vests and headsets.

they made this announcement sooner than expected
it’s a good thing, assuming this doesn’t mean it’s career threating
Whenever you get stressed, always remember: RDWHAHB
Why
I didn’t expect it this sooner either, but this announcement should have been made weeks ago. Why would they consider rushing this and risking permanent damage and ending his career early?
What do I really have left in life but this place? It ain't much of a home, but it's all I got. Well, g******it. I'll be damned if I let some foreign, graffiti writin', soul suckin', son of a bitch in an oversized cowboy hat and boots take my friend's souls and sh** 'em down the visitors toilet!

mock drafts
Yep…Im a geek like that
Lets say colts draft first … i see them trading the pick if Manning is looking like he can come back next year…some one will give up a couple of firsts (this year and next) and throw in a second for Luck
Assuming its K.C., Seattle, or San Fran we move down a few spots and can take either:
1. Kalil OT move Constonzo to RT and have two stud OT
2. Blackmon – stud WR
3. Richardson – Edge Clone?
Then take the second and get Lewis from Boise
What about Claiborne?

I don't think the title fits and this isn't news
The media is grasping at straws here. “Sources at the breakfast meeting report Manning won’t practice again until December and may not play again until 2012.”
Uh okay, what is there that we didn’t already know? We didn’t know he wouldn’t practice until December, but I don’t think Irsay really knows that either. From what I understand, they can only speculate at this point on when he’ll be back. I think this is WISH-TV trying to get national headlines…

it worked.
fwiw

Redzone???
I couldn’t believe my ears last night when Collinsworth said the Colts considered using Manning this season in red zone situations only!!!
I can’t believe that was even considered.

This is false...From Irsay's twitter
I didn’t say Peyton out 4season FOR SURE,keeping him on ActiveRoster n taking it month by month/Outside chance of return n December possible
"No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive"
Mr. Irsay, please.......
step away from your twitter account.
Irsay needs to quit the drugs
why would you keep him on the active roster for? colts are 0-3 and the offense is not improving, colts will be lucky if they win even 1 game… so the logical thing to do is try to win without risking manning and give him time to be back next season better than ever.. Irsay you should focus on developing a good running game/OL play for when Peyton returns .. Peyton 100% healthy with a running game = super bowl run.. come’on man quit the pills and IR him already.. only reason I can think of is that he thinks that keeping the hope os a manning return this season would keep people from selling their tickets/not buying them.. yeah right! wait for this team to be like 0-8 to start seeing the paperbags

I think keeping him on the active roster
is a business strategy to not lose the large PM fan club this year with hopes and dreams he’s coming back.

over/under on if we will see paperbags in Indy?
