Honestly, how awful are the colts if manning doesnt play all year? I'd say Peyton has 4-5 more years (if healthy). Is it too far of a reach to think they put Peyton on IR and protect him for the next few years and see where they fall in the draft? Not saying they need to tank and go 1-15 for Luck, but imagine if they can get a top 5 draft pick to either sure up a hole or trade down to hopefully fill multiple holes. Or imagine if they do get Luck, how much trade bait he would be.
If they start 0-3 and Peyton is still not back, I'd put him on IR and just play the season out with Collins. The last few weeks of their schedule could be BRUTAL, filled with teams fighting for playoff spots / positioning. If they dont win early, I dont see them winning many late.
(I am not a Colts fan either, just casual observer)
