Re: OT: Irsay stirring the pot? "Manning will be the highest paid player in the leagu
Personally, I am shocked that a troll pretending to be a Pats fan would think Manning is way better than Brady.
The funny thing is that you think the Colts have better cap managment than the Pats. They may have better drafting, but they are also the team that pays Bob Sanders one of highest paid safety contracts in the league to spend most of his season on IR every year.
Much of what has been said is true, but I have a different take on things.
Yes, Manning is much better than Brady. Yes, Brady didn't play as well this year, locked onto receivers, etc. Hopefully that's just injuries and the post ACL etc.
However Indy can AFFORD to pay Manning top $. Why? Because they can fill out their roster with guys off the street and pay them nothing. Their starting OG was living in his parents' basement before playing for the colts!! Contemplate that for a minute. While we're paying huge money to AD Thomas and making FOOLS out of ourselves, Polian is plugging in randoms and WINNING.
We can't afford to pay Brady "Manning money " because we need the money to fill out our roster. Apparently JAG guys can't be coached up here in our scheme to win. We have to hire expensive FAs. And even with Thomas and 3 #1 picks on our defense we get SMOKED.
Polian could literally get a bunch of guys off the waiver wire and field a top notch defense and offense too. Either Manning makes everyone better or our coaching just ISN'T THAT GOOD.
