This is true. I guess what I meant was that Rodgers was going to a team that had just gone 9-7, and had some decent pieces, not a team that was 2-14 and in need of upgrades at every position. I think if the Colts trade Manning and draft well, they can be a playoff team again within two years, and a Super Bowl contended in 3-4. If they keep Manning and trade Luck, they'll be lucky to make the playoffs for the next three years and then hope to hell they can find a franchise QB to make the picks they received in the Luck trade worthwhile.
