let's not forget that the colts (though under different leadership) were the ones to pick jeff george in the 1st round, number 1 overall even

I don't deny such debacles. But the point remains that if one assumes a dogmatic "Don't draft a QB high, it's too risky" attitude, it also means missing out on folks like Manning.

The situation is too complex for pat, dogmatic attitudes.

Were the signs there that he was going to refuse to work?

As far as a pure passer, Jeff George was one of the best of all time. He put up video game numbers when he had Carter and Moss.
