If we weren't talking about the Colts I'd love to see them trade down, get a bunch of lesser picks and fix every problem on the team (ala Jimmy Johnson with the Cowboys back in the day) just to show up people who write articles without any supporting evidence at all. In the aftermath of a game that went from 31-3 to 31-24 how can you claim the loser was losing on purpose?
This is based on Manning sticking around. I suggested this on another site and the Colts fans hated it. What's the best way to keep Peyton healthy another 3-4 years? Get him a GD running game. Trade down. The old 1,2 this year, 1,2 and 3 next year. Draft Trent Richardson with the pick you trade down to. Peyton hasn't really been dominant since Edge split for greener pastures. Except the 09 season. He was exceptional that year. Still have two very early 2nd rounders to help out the defense. Plus, a bunch of picks next year to re-evaluate the team with a full-season under Manning.
