Of course not...

I may have misread but I thought I read somewhere he was going to leave if they drafted a QB.

He is backtracking because it will lower the Colts bargaining power. He should be smart enough to know his best bet to win is in Indy.

I feel taht way myself, if he wants to win another title he needs to stay in Indy. Anybody looking for a QB is a long way away from the playoffs.

Have you seen the Chiefs defense recently?

Miami?

yeah, i don't know if i buy the argument that peyton's best place to win a title is Indy. That team has a ton of holes and they are far removed from the SB win......... it's 5 years now.

The AFC is not what it was back in that time, though, so if all he wants is to win another Super Bowl, he should stay in the AFC, but I wouldn't say the Colts necessarily give him the best chance.

I would say the Jets, Dolphins, Chiefs, Titans, Browns, Jaguars and Broncos all need upgrades at QB in the AFC and at least some of those teams are more talented than the Colts overall.

I'm just not sure Peyton would want to leave Indy.

I was thinking because he would have to learn a whole new offense. Not saying he couldn't do it but the odds are slim that he would succeed elsewhere. He knows the offense at Indy.

oh, ok. well, that's a valid point.

however, i would almost look at it conversely and say Peyton would have to teach his new teammates HIS offense because he has ostensibly been running that offense in Indy for a while now and I'm sure he would want the same amount of control or more in a new spot.

for a lot of the teams that are floundering on offense and don't have qb's, it would almost be worth the risk to give peyton that much control just to bring him in.
