People keep bandying about the idea of trading Manning, but with the uncertainty in Manning's prognosis, what team would want to take on his outlandish contract?

I wasn't expecting those words from candyass Peyton Manning, then again, he does blast his OL and K from time to time.

What would Peyton do if they did draft Andrew Luck? Throw a pissy fit and retire or force a trade?

Zero, I'm going to type real slow for you - QB's have huge egos. They think everything revolves around them.

The only thing that I like about Peyton is that puss face he makes when someone pick sixes him.

I disagree. I played QB and if I'm on the field, I play QB. I do not have a huge ego. Nor do I believe the world does not revolved around me. 😉

That's the rumor in the Colts not putting him on IR this year...potential opportunity toward the end of this year to demonstrate that he's recovered from his injury, then Joe Montana him.

It's two fold. Colts want to evaluate him for their own team and also the reason you mentioned. Which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, since they there is some near $30 million trigger for Peyton Manning in March/April of the following year.

This would be standard for any team.

I get that Nr. 1 QBs make a lot of money and I get that you'd rather not have the nr. 1 overall pick sitting on your bench, albeit at a better price than before with the rookie salary cap, but I see no way that the Colts will trade Peyton, even if they do pick Luck.

There are so many reasons to keep Manning around for at least one more year (asuming he plays again).

First of all, the mentor role, showing the kid how it's done. I mean, I can't imagine a better mentor than Peyton if he's willing to help.

Secondly, that team is a mess. I wouldn't want to David Carr my Andrew Luck. Try to get some picks and build that thing back up. It's not the decent thing to do, but let Manning play behind that shitbox O-line, with that horrible defense and that mediocre all-around team. From a business standpoint, he can get beaten up from there on. You have Luck waiting, anyway.

Lastly, a QB coming back from an injury like that is rather risky to trade for. A QB coming back and have a solid year nets you something better in the trade market.

But the Colts have $35 million reasons to cut/trade Peyton, I do believe. I heard on NFL Network that's what he will make in late winter/early spring if he is still on the active roster. I can't imagine the Colts paying that unless he is fully healthy, starting, and looking sharp. Anyone know if that number is in fact true?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
