Yes.

I don't, for a second, believe that Indy's problems were even 50% because Peyton was injured.

They were a BAD, aged team across the board.

I believe that the Colts would have been 8-8 at best with Peyton last year.

I believe that it will manifest in a 5-11 record this year. It will be glossed over by the talking heads, but they are in serious rebuilding mode.

Give me a break you don't believe that do you?

The team is built around Manning. Offese high powered score lots of points and you build your D with a pass rush to protect the lead. Simple math.

With out Manning... you D can't play the way they are designed to play. Let alone your offense.

They are an old team that has robbed peter (52 players) to pay Paul (Peyton Manning).

Would you accept the Saints centering their entire potential success around one player?

The Colts have 1 ONE UNO EIN ICHI Super Bowl win for that model for success in 13 seasons!

The Saints achieved a Super Bowl with their model within 4 seasons.

Apples and Oranges and all of that poop, but, I don't want to go down that particular road.

Manning isn't the highest paid player in the league.

We do center our team around one player. We failed at it for the most part but Bree's scoring a lot of points and an opportunistic D. We were pretty much built like the Colts.

Shouldn't the question be, "Can Spags win ten games?" 20 mil would buy a lot of defense....

Feel free to elaborate.

Cause it seems every offseason, even during the season there is some stupid poll or a complete hypothetical question that makes no sense that litters that board, that's one of the reason's why I like it here so much, less BS and more substance

With all due respect, and I don't read the other message board, this is the first time in the past few seasons that this has a chance of actually happening... even though it is minuscule. This isn't coming out of the blue and is legitimate. Don't confuse the boards and lump my question into whatever stupidity that irks you at another board. I can't help it if moronic questions are constantly asked somewhere else.

If I made a poll that stated if Vilma were to be cut and Dunbar takes over, do you think he could handle the full load of games in the middle? Is that stupid too?

Over the Course of Two years... sure he could

Daniel is probably the fourth best QB in franchise history, which isn't very good, but there is a lot of talent around him. PLAYOFF BOUND!
