True, but lets take Brandon Stokley for instance. His production decreased significantly once he left the Colts. Or what about the Vikings? Sidney Rice would be a nobody if Tavarius Jackson was the QB.

Same with Percy Harvin. No way is he OROY without Farve.

Not even the AFC Championship against New England where they were down something like 20-3 after the first half?

Maybe Peyton has something to do with this? Thier Offensive scheme?

Feeley is gonna lose this game for the jets. that's 6 left on the field.

Kickers can be unrealiable at times, that's why you always try to score TD's. These playoff games have demonstrated just how unreliable they can be.

still in SC?

I see your point.

I don't see how Peyton gets so much time and room to throw.

They don't want to blitz Peyton all day, he'll throw for 400 yds. if they do. He's figured out what the Jets are doing.

Combination of Howard Mudds coaching, Jeff Saturdays leadership, and Peytons ability to call the right protections. The third factor is something a lot of experts attribute to Mannings ability to avoid injury throughout his career.

On a separate note you guys are seeing now why I want the brass in the Redskins front office to draft a potential franchise QB if they think they see one at 4. See a dominant O-Line is awesome, but having a franchise QB for 10-15 years is golden. I don't see Campbell ever getting to that level where teams are terrified of him. We need to find someone that can strike that kind of fear into opponents, similar to what Ovechkin does for the Capitals.

The Colts have always been able to protect Manning that's why he's enjoyed a long career virtually free on injury. They drafted Peyton with the mind-set of protection, the Redskins mind-set was the reverse order, they chose to get a QB before they got an O-line....Therefore the results are reverse.

What do you mean by saying they drafted him with protection in mind? The Colts only drafted one offensive lineman in 10 years prior to drafting Manning. They didn't take another offensive lineman in the first round until 2008. I didn't see Sean Peyton draft offensive lineman to build his offensive Juggernaut either. Can you name any team in the modern era, that has a top rate offense, that consistently drafted O-lineman high in the draft?

You don't have to draft them high in the draft but you do have to put a premium on them. You do have to demonstrate that they are important, that they can play and be effective, unlike the product we put on the field this past season. No QB is going to be effective on his back 50 times a season, so whatever the Colts have done since they drafted manning as far as their line is concerned, well he's still here.

Excellent points. Franchise QB is the catalyst to being a consistent contender. No way will we not draft a QB in the first round this year.
