In 2011, the Colts had the toughest decision they’ve had to make since they got up and left Baltimore in 1984. They had to decide whether to keep Peyton Manning, who had a neck injury that kept him out that entire season, or cut him and draft Andrew Luck to lead the franchise from that point forward.
It was a ridiculously hard decision. Jim Irsay essentially had to decide if he wanted to part ways with the greatest player the franchise has ever known to draft the best prospect since John Elway.
