If you owned the colts you would do what...................

Time to kick Manning to the curb? Is Luck your guy? Do you trade Luck for a mountain of other players and HOPE Manning can go?

WHat would you do? Keep in mind Manning is owed $28,000,000 in March.

From the owners perspective: no way you can pay 28 mil to a guy when you don't even know if he'll be able to play again. Gotta cut him loose. You have to do what is financially right for the long term health of the organization. At the end of the day it is a business. Everyone knows this. Tough decisions have to be made for the good of that business. This is one of them.

From a business model you have to cut him. You don't want to tank another season if he fails in a year or two, and best case you have 3-4 years out of him.

You have the #1 pick, you have to build around it and take Luck and hope he doesn't become Leaf.

Cut 'em and take Luck.

It's off topic but similiar.

I think a more interesting question is what do you do if you're the Browns? Keep Colt and build around him, cut Colt and get a new QB? Luck won't be available, go with RG3? Lot of disatisfaction with Colt. Browns have had arguably the best quarterbacks from Kentucky, ND, and now Texas and it's kind of where great college QB's go to die. Couch, Quinn, and McCoy own all the records or a huge share of them at their respective schools. Personally, I'll laugh my ass off if the Browns add Baylor and RG3 to that list.

Peyton has been cleared to play.

What I would do:

Trade the pick, get a ton of picks in return, play Peyton until he drops, and draft a QB in the next couple drafts.

There is no gurantee Luck will amount to anything and I think a 50% Peyton is better than 80% of the QB's in the league.

You could get Luck, and buy a handful of players for that 24 million. You really think Peyton is worth a Luck and 24 million worth of other players?

If you can prove he is healty to some other team, then you might get offered a package deal that included draft picks to the tune of a Hershel Walker deal I would do it in a minute and draft Luck. I dont think that is going to happen. I would trade him to anyone outside the division for anything with a 1st round pick. If no one would trade for him and he is not healty I dump him.

I don't think they'll be able to trade Manning. Not without giving up some of that $28 million. Most teams will take the chance that they'll dump him and then try to nab him on the FA market. One team that may be tempted are the Jets.

Luck has not played a down in the NFL so he is an unknown and I can't answer that question. I do think trading him for a big package might be the call.
