Peyton coming back strong

Stampede wrote:Reports say he's coming around and throwing hard......I understand the business side of the NFL but I don't see how Irsay can let him go now.....Try and rework his deal but Irsay can't just cut him loose......Peyton brought this this team from laughing stock to perineal contender.....His presence is the reason we got a new stadium, which brought us a Super Bowl, and he was a huge part of the revitalization of downtown indy ......Peyton goes beyond football in this state and to release him at this point would be an injustice ......

Dam... I asked a serious question and you came back with some form of sick love story. LOL.

What was the question?.....I just reread it and I still don't see it.

I know there's no sure thing but everyone is raving that Luck is the most pro ready QB to come out since Elway.....They claim he's more ready than Peyton himself was.......As much hype as RG3 has gotten nobody expects him to go before Luck.....Luck is also a type A personality like Manning......The thing that gets me is that all year long the Colts have said they had enough maneuverability to have them both on the roster, now they act as if its impossible.......Had we of won just one more game last year we wouldn't even be having this discussion and I'm sure Peyton would have definitely been back here next season ......
