Stop the Gloom and Doom!


Peyton Manning is...and always will be...the QB of the Indianapolis Colts! Now and in the Future!

Here are the facts so far:

FACT: Irsay has...over and over again...stated that Peyton will RETIRE as a Colt...

FACT: Peyton has said...over and over again...He wants to play for ONLY ONE TEAM for his whole career...

FACT: Irsay has stated the $28 Million he owes Peyton on March 8th is NOT A PROBLEM...and that his HEALTH is the ONLY thing he is worried about...

FACT: Irsay has paid salaries...a few tens of millions of $!...out of his own pocket before AND he will do it again!

FACT: The "Salary Cap" is NOT an absolute limit...going over the salary cap has monetary penalties paid to the NFL...I'm not sure if those penalties are paid by the franchise or the owners themselves, but here again, Irsay does not care how much he has to spend to have a team that can challenge for the Super Bowl every year!

FACT: Grigson stated...obviously in agreement with Irsay...that he WILL keep players that have talent...that cleaning house just to clean house is not his style...did Peyton loose his talent somewhere???

FACT: Peyton's very existence puts FANS in the seats at LOS...and in most other stadiums throughout the NFL...what owner would want to lose all of that potential revenue...revenue Irsay will need to go way over the salary cap...

FACT: Our new OC, Bruce Arians, knows Peyton from his time as QB coach...AND his OC style seems similar to Moore's when he was here...AND Christensen would most likely have taken the QB coach position because he knows Peyton IS coming back and they have a very good relationship together...why else would a coach take a demotion like that?

Now I realize I used the word "FACT" throughout this post and I'm sure everyone is going to come after me with how these are not facts or have other comments...but then that is why I wrote it.

I still say, no matter what, if Peyton can play, he will play as a COLT and for no one else!

GO COLTS!!
