According to Fox Sports Radio, Archie Manning was on the Zakk and Jack Show this morning and said that it wouldn’t be a good idea to have both Peyton and Andrew on the same team...
quote:

“I don’t think it’d necessarily be great for either one,” “I think Andrew’s the type of mature player . . . he can walk right in. I mean, these other three or four guys that are playing this year, [if] they can walk in and contribute, Andrew can, too. . . .

“We know Andrew well. He comes down to our camp every year. I used to play with his dad [Oliver]. . . . I’m in New York, I heard from him last night. Peyton’s also tried to help Andrew and kind of be a friend. I doubt if either one want to play on the same team.”
Interesting. I can't see Peyton pulling a Favre and not mentoring Luck. I'd like to think he has much more integrity than that.

Archie needs to STFU. I think Peyton would take Luck under his wing. Peyton, I think, knows he is on the down side of his career.

Remember, this is the guy who held Eli out of the San Diego organization.

At this point I don't see what else the Colts can do. I can't see Manning playing more than 2 more years with his injuries. The Colts would be foolish not to draft Luck unless Luck is issuing ultimatums.

I think Peyton would mentor Luck, I just don't think Luck would want to be on the bench for a few years with the success that Bradford, Dalton, Cam, Ponder (to an extent) have shown.

The more I hear Archie talk, the less I respect him.
