You are hilarious. Yeah, lets put Manning behind a line that has Incrapito and Cloumbo on it instead of Glenn and Saturday. Fasano at TE instead of Clark. Hartline instead of Wayne. Bush instead of Addai or James and on and on.Manning doesn't take that team to the SB... Please show me you know something, anything about football. Manning lead the team yes, but the whole team plays. And his earlier teams were stacked with talent. Get off the media hype of "the colts were a one man team". That projects ignorance about the game.
How is a line anchored by Jake Long and Mike Pouncy so different from Glenn and Saturday??? Talent wise both Long and Pouncy blow Glenn and Saturday out of the water. Our guards were solid. Columbo was the only real weakness. And at least our oline is more balanced than the colts who can only pass protect. When was the last time Manning had a franchise left tackle? 2006. Quit mentioning Glenn and James. They haven't been there in ages. Bush is every bit as talented as what Edgerin James was and Joseph Addai is. The only real difference is at WR and TE. Manning did make Austin Collie look like an all pro while he was healthy. Most would say that Collie isn't exactly the most "gifted" Who was Brandon Stokely before he was a colt? Again, just based off of what the colts did this year I think it is fairly safe to say that Manning made most of those amazing offensive players in Indy. Who is to say that Brian Hartline couldn't step up and be a very solid contributor if he had Manning throwing to him?
Manning lead those teams and the facts remain that they are a playoff team with him and one of the worst without him. Case and point this year without Manning compared to every other year they have had Manning. Like I have posted before, the 2009 Colts team almost went undefeated and played in the Super Bowl. What core players that were there in 2009 are not there in 2011?
How are you so certain that Matt Flynn is going to come in and take us to the promise land? As I have posted before from a failure stand point, if Flynn fails you are stuck with him and his money. If Manning fails you can cut him quickly and just move on.
