Manning had a really good offensive line early on, but in the last couple of seasons they were not that great. To me it seems that over the past couple of seasons, a lot of pundits kept saying that the Colts needed to upgrade their line. For some reason, the Colts never did, and when they did they had a couple of misfires in their picks.
A healthy Manning can pick apart any defense with just about any offensive line. As I mentioned before, if we sign him we have the draft ammunition to pick up good offensive linemen in the draft and there are some nice options in free agency. Finally, I would dare say that we probably have a better running game than anything the Colts have had in the past two/three seasons. And we've had a good running game during times when teams would stack the box and dare us to throw. You think with Manning under center they would do that?
