And I completely agree with him here.

Andrew never loved the game as much as Manning. There is no way in the same situation you would see Peyton Manning retire. In fact, we saw it, much worse, and he didn't. There is literally almost no worse an injury a QB can suffer than a C7 radiculopathy of the throwing arm, lost most of his strength there in the triceps, and he kept playing at a much older age, after many other injuries as bad or worse than Luck had. I always thought that was the difference between Manning and Luck. Luck could walk away easily, Manning would have to be forced off the field. Proved to be true

Agree about the soft local media. They have always been this way, not just for the Colts but Pacers and all local teams.

if you want to blame Grigson and Irsay for his early years, fine, no argument from me, but that is all past and the team is obviously in good hands now in terms of management.

Dakich is a good guy - I certainly don't always agree with him but he's no "homer" and isn't afraid to be critical of the Colts players and management. My wife won a charity auction a couple years ago and for my birthday I was Dan's guest for an hour. He's a stand up guy.
