Do you think its a little early to daft Payton Manning's successor in the up coming daft?
Well at first glance, you would think the Colts would go for it and it really doesn't sound like a bad idea. I guess in the sense that, the Colts should look to secure their future. But (and there is a but) I think that it isn't in their best interest right now. Yes it does seem like a great idea in the long term aspect, but lets face the fact and that is, Peyton Manning will be the starter until he retires. At best (Manning is 35) he most likely has 5 more years left in him before he considers retirement. I say that to say, it doesn't quite make sense from a year to year standpoint to draft a QB that will sit on the bench longer than 2 seasons. Aaron Rodgers is an exception because it wasn't as if he was drafted to be the future so to speak. Things kind of happened to turn in his favor because Favre didn't retire in GB. But that said, I think it is too early to draft because realistically, any QB the Colts get now, would sit on the bench for 4-5 years, since most don't expect Manning to play poorly the rest of his career. I believe the Colts should wait until he is closer to 40 and then draft a QB.
