It is impossible for THAT NFL front office to make THAT bad decision.

GM was fired IMO for 2 reasons: 1. Because he disagreed with the owner on what to do with Manning. Owner wants Luck and the GM wants Manning pure and simple. 2. GM got caught with his pants down with not having a decent backup vet QB available to put in just in case Manning's surgeries were not successful. Now the GM is in a catch 22 with the Owner pissed at him that he didnt plan for the worst and now Luck is sitting there at your pick. And when the owner is pissed at you and you especially don't agree with letting Manning go after not planning for the worst and you the GM still want Manning in a "high risk" situation it's really a "no brainer" for the owner. It's nothing personal or a matter of performance other than that little thing of not planning for the worst and now Luck is sitting there at your pick. |

I'd take Luck too, but as the Chiefs I'd at least make the call.

Outside of RT, this is a pretty solid line. That deficit will be corrected this year. You have Hudson moving into C. Who would know better than Peyton if Lilja is still up to the task? You saw what the line can do when you have a QB that knows how to move protections. Palko took 11 sacks in four games because he can't throw more than 10 yards down the field, but at least he moved the protections. Orton took one sack in three games. Matt Cassel took 22 sacks in nine games because he has no idea how to move coverages. Peyton is the master of moving coverages.

Kind of hard to do when you eat $35 million in cap space for Peyton, and pay a top pick QB money. The Colts can't afford to put a good team around Peyton. They have to rebuild, and a 35 year old QB coming off three surgeries doesn't really fit those plans.
