We've known for years that Curtis Painter doesn't deserve a contract in Canada, obviously they're going to be a bad team. They were never about defense to begin with, plus losing Peyton seriously unmotivated them. & then you're asking Curtis Painter to lead that franchise. He'd drive the Packers into the ground.
I mean, why do you think everyone is saying "wouldn't be such a bad idea to trade Peyton for his value & get Luck a nice additional piece"? Because all this team needs is a QB & they can win some . It's not like they need Peyton & nobody else. They just need a legitimate starting QB. Brad Smith is probably a better technical quarterback than Curtis Painter.

You got it right the first time. They need Peyton and Peyton alone. Drew Brees on these Colts and they'd look like the Chargers with Drew Brees, except the Chargers were a better built team than Indy is now. It's nobody's fault. It was simply a bad team that looked better than it should have because one guy was that fucking good. What was the only difference between the the 61-21 '79/'80 Celtics and the 29-53 '78/'79 Celtics? Larry Bird. That's it. It took more than Larry to build a multiple Championships team, but only Larry to build a good team in the hunt for the title. And there was no one the fuck else that could have walked on to that team and did what Larry did, just like there is no one else that could have taken the 2000s Colts to the playoffs more than twice. Peyton Manning; the rose that grew from concrete.

^I mean, we'll see with Andrew Luck.
...if that's the way they want to go.

Luck will only succeed in Indy if they get rid of the Polians and let a real franchise builder take over. If Cowher were to agree to come to Indy and start over with Luck then I could see big things with in a couple years. But if you throw Luck on the team, as is, then good luck Mr Luck, because he'll make Ryan Leif look like a great pick. Dan Marino in his prime is the only conventional pocket passer that could see any success with these Colts. No other QB can see thingsas fast as you have to in Indy, release it as fast, or spot the ball well enough to make consecutive winning seasons happen in Indy.
