Would you tank the season( might not have to try)
For
A) Andrew Luck: franchise QB with big upside to play under Peyton for 3-4 years maybe causing a headache as Luck will be ready sooner and Peyton might not wanna hand it off a la Favre/Rogers for a while
Or trade back and load up as there will be huge interest in Luck. Any team really in need of a QB will pay a kings ransom
I didn't see the colts doing a whole lot this year( making the playoffs, maybe 1 and done) but if Manning is able to recover fully it could set them up in his latter years to make some serious runs

I say this as someone who lives in Indy and is a huge Chicago Bears fan, but I'm also a big fan of Peyton Manning.

If the prognosis isn't good, I think it comes to an end, and that'll be a sad way for the greatest QB ever to go out.
It sets up pretty good for the Colts either way. They'll have a couple months to really test the health of Manning before they pick up the option. If he's good to go they'll have a great draft spot to trade or use, or if the news is grim they can move on.
As a Colts fan I'm really hopin Manning can come back healthy. They had some really nice high points in the game last night and would prolly be in the top 5 teams in the league with Manning. Wish they wouldn't have wasted the $4mil on Kerry Collins and went with Painter from the start.
So in your mind, this has never ever ever happened before?
Players who keep losing, lose interest. Some, not all are FA's who will work for a contract no doubt. The coaches still play the players and choose the plays.
Why wouldn't you, especially for a franchise that's in SB contention every year Mannings been there.
They are 0-3..... If they bust their ass they might finish 6-10, and that's a huge "IF" more likely finish like 4-12. So the coaches tweek the playbook for a game or 2 and go 2-14, 3-13 securing the #1 pick
It's not that hard and they can be subtle about it
They suck already

I went to bed last night with the realization that Curtis Painter is our starting quarterback ... any cornerback in the AFC South that is in a contract year must be liking their chops.
Does anyone know Jim Sorgi's phone number?
Did Collins get knocked out?
Painter has looked light years better than Collins and they woulda been better off not having a backup than Sorgi when he was around. Painter's not gonna save the season by any stretch, but he's obviously put in as much work as he possibly can. Collins can barely complete a pass.
Weird descision, huh
SuckForLuck
Why wouldnt you?
Unless your in the NFC West, your gonna need about 10 to get in. Indy aint goin anywhere, neither is Miami
Its 2012 on their minds. Not a fuckin doubt in my mind. After you suck enough, fans stop coming anyway. Season ticket holders will get over it when Luck is on their side
