Okay, now that the season for both teams is over, we can start with a clean slate. Let us put 2011 behind us and look toward the future. The most pressing issues, by far, lie with the Colts organization.
All the pundits on cable are giving every conceivable scenario for the Colts quarterback position moving forward. Yes, Andrew Luck is most likely the QB of the future and yes, ideally, we'd love to have him as PM's understudy for a couple of seasons. But let's look, first, at a very likely scenario. Peyton Manning may not play another down of football. Has he been cleared by anyone to do so? Will his throwing arm ever be the same? These are the most pressing questions that need to be answered. Forget who the heir-apparent is or how he might get along with "the Sheriff." Heck, forget how to pay premiums for both QB's, including PM's 28-mil. due in March. Let's find out if the old guy will ever throw another football in the NFL, first!
Regardless, Andrew Luck is the franchise QB of the future. To pass up on him would be the dumbest decision by the Colts organization since the 2011 signing of Kerry Collins.
And speaking of that lame-brained decision, how about it Bill Polian? Still feeling vindicated? Good riddance you old fart! Don't let the screen door on the barn hit you on the way out! And take Scrappy Doo with you, too!
Okay, I feel much better now. The season is behind us. The Colts have secured #1, i.e. Andrew Luck, and should be on their way to greatness once again.
We'll give the Seminoles a little time to bask in the glory of another bowl win. Then, when recruiting season kicks into gear, we'll look forward to another blue-chipper crop of athletes.
I'm just glad we made it out of 2011 alive. The first half of the Champs Sports Bowl nearly gave me a coronary!
