Well, it looks like the Colts are the front-runners in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. I see them going 2-14 this season, Peyton Manning announcing his retirement, and the Colts drafting Luck with the #1 pick of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Who are the Colts beating?

Do you really care where I sent this from?

I don't see Peyton retiring after this season. But I could see him being moved if the colts decide to change the staff, and rebuild the organization around Luck.

There's no moving Manning, he would have to be released.

The Colts are going to have one hell of a decision to make.

If they trade out of the top spot, they are going to get a massive haul. I heard that it might take three first-round picks to pry that pick away from them if Manning is 100 percent healthy and decides to continue his career. If that's the case, they have him for another five or six years and can stockpile their team with high round picks.

And if that's the case, the team that deals those picks will end up getting one hell of a quarterback. I am slow to buy the hype on guys, but Luck is going to be the real deal. Draft him, lock him up, and you have your franchise QB for the next 10-15 years.

It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out.

That being said, Peyton Manning set the Colts up for success for YEARS when they drafted him. You just don't get that chance. You take Andrew Luck and you allow him to learn from one of the greatest QBs ever. Manning retires, and you're set for another 16 years.

Tight Ends, running backs, and receivers will come and go (E. James, Harrison, etc) but a franchise QB can make or break a team. Get him to learn what Manning knows (heck, bring Manning back as a coach, few know football like he does) and the colts are going to soar.

Colts could become the next 0-16 team........they get Luck........he sits behind Peyton for about two years......then takes over. He'll be the future of the team...

Indy fans, things look grim right now, but hang in there. Every team hits a rough patch while rebuilding.

Listening to NFL radio yesterday, one of the guys who had talked to Manning said that Manning himself was actually becoming doubtful of ever playing football again. He can't even play 1 hole of golf yet, I think Indy will be taking Andrew Luck and we'll likely see Manning retire.
