Shorttynaz Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 "Former Indianapolis Colts head coach and current NBC Football Night in America analyst Tony Dungy made an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show on Friday. During his appearance Dungy discussed the possibility of the Colts ending up with the number one overall pick in next April’s NFL draft. Dungy believes the Colts should select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, if they end up with the top overall pick. He believes if they end up with Luck, they should trade future hall of fame quarterback Peyton Manning away. “I think you have to take him,” said Dungy. Dungy indicated that Peyton Manning “would handle it OK, because you know it’s coming.” “I would see him competing and playing as long as he wanted,” Dungy said. “If it gets to the point to where, hey, he comes back and it looks like he’s gonna play three or four more years, and you say — we’ve got Andrew Luck, we’ve got an asset — we trade (Peyton).” As crazy as Dungy’s idea of trading Manning sounds, it would make the most sense if the Colts end up with Luck. But, I also believe there’s a better alternative for the Colts. They should let Luck sit behind Manning for a season or two, since they won’t be financially obligated to throw him to the wolves right away, since there’s now a rookie wage scale in place. Then if Manning’s not ready to retire, but Luck is all set to start, the Colts could then trade Manning." LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 My thoughts?? Jim Irsay will NEVER let Manning go anywhere else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1310 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I was listening to the show and Dungy never said.... "You trade Peyton".... also, he did refer to Luck as an asset...... I guess if you take Luck and say you "trade him" I would render that him is the asset....??? Not trying to start something here, but I think he was saying you have to take Luck because of the value and at worse you have a trade asset in Luck, not in Peyton, even though, as highly touted as Luck is, you have to wonder if trading Peyton may make more sense in the long run.....

Donutrun Jellies Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I hope they trade him to the Giants so we can see a sibling rivalry QB controversy ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 maybe Luck will pull an Elway and tell the Colts to get bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overworkedirish Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 maybe Luck will pull an Elway and tell the Colts to get bent I think if Luck is planning a powerplay, he's reserving it for us in Miami... Just our LUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The Vikings seem to value aging stars. The problem is Manning may not be a has been, so that would kind of break the recent mold in Minnesota. Maybe he could go to the Jets first and leave his last good games their before going on to Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 How many draft picks would the Colts get for Manning? IIRC the Colts could win before Manning with other QBs since their team was founded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 How many draft picks would the Colts get for Manning? No Doubt. I mean if Carson Palmer can get you a first and a second, imaging what Manning would bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think if Luck is planning a powerplay, he's reserving it for us in Miami... Just our LUCK. Ya if they get the first pick he stays his senior year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turf Smurf Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 No Doubt. I mean if Carson Palmer can get you a first and a second, imaging what Manning would bring. Not much; it's a neck injury. He may very well never play another down. Well, maybe, they'll trade Ricky for him; if they can agree on who buys the ganga going forward.

I betcha Dungy would throw blame everywhere BUT there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven't heard a professional's opinion say it's career threatening.. I've heard speculation, but nothing from a doctor stating he should hang up the cleats for good..
