except by holding onto manning it could cost them enormous amounts of money for absolutely no reason if luck is what he is projected to be. they could potentially have a good replacement qb, and be able to upgrade other positions. or keep manning and their same deteriorating team for a few years to come which by the way doesnt seem to be good enough to win the super bowl. its quite clear the colts are in trouble because even with painter playing well at qb, they still dont have what it takes to win a game. so even with peyton, games would probably be close. the colts had their few years there where they were a SB contending team every year but those days are gone i believe. peyton is still good, but the rest of the team is not. i honestly dont care because im not a colts fan but getting a good young qb and having money to upgrade other positions over keeping a risky qb is somewhat appealing. if peyton is being advised he should retire because of this injury, then its got to be pretty serious. and those broncos had an awesome rb in davis along with a HOF TE. the colts dont have that luxury right now.
