Remember this team finished with 15 players not named Manning on the IR. Anthony Gonzalez also missed most of the year.
So what can you do ? No one usually trades up for the 1st pick but Luck is the most trade worthy 1st pick in years. Move down Indy. They'll be a QB at the top next year and there are plenty of decent back-ups kicking around. Have one in place this season.
With the bounty from the move down give Chuck Pagano something to work with on defense. Say a Dontari Poe, a Stephen Hill, a Ron Brooks, a Center and a RB. That's 5 picks. That may be over a couple of years but 5 of the right picks replaces Peyton more than 1 number 1 overall does.
Peyton takes a team like the dolphins to the playoffs and you'll look like fools.
Neck Injury around C6/C7 effects the triceps, fingertips, pectorals all thing a QB needs. Peyton will probably never be Peyton again. But he's earned the right to go out on his terms. Get him a back up. Pick up Brady Quinn !
Luck is pick 1. Who he should go to is not the colts.
