If you had both on your fantasy team, who would you trade? Right now Rivers leads the league in passing TDs and is slightly ahead in passing yards. Manning on the other hand has hit his stride in the second half of the season. Keeping Manning would be a no brainer to me because of the upswing, but I haven't been really following the Colts since they started out so terribly this season. Is there team healthy? Is there pass offense as dynamic as it traditionally has been?

Rivers, because Eli's got the #1 running attack and Rivers needs to throw it more

i say start rivers, and trade manning for a really quality back or a WR like Boldin.

The Colts O still isn't clicking. People are starting to jump on thier bandwagon again, but They aren't winning by blowing out opponents, we are winning with gritty, lucky situations. I have mad respect for Peyton, but with Marvin losing a major step, and the colts run game being an absolute nightmare STILL at this point in the season, I'd have a hard time trading Rivers. On the flip side of that, the colts have 0 chance of getting the bid in thier division, so they will be playing for a wild card, meaning they will likely be fighting all the way to the end for a spot, so you don't have to worry about them sitting him the last couple games.
Tough decision. I'd keep Manning, but I also was born and raised in Indiana, and am a major homer for the colts :)

Both are having great individual years (Peyton looks bad by his standards but any QB on pace to hit 25TDs and 4000 would be happy). Rivers is doing better as of now but I think the Colts have an easier Pass D schedule. Either way, trade who ever can get you more because by years end I'd imagine both have similar numbers (but River may end up with a few more TDs, unless the Colts start running up the score on teams like Cinci).
