Saturday: Manning will lead the Colts

Written by Todd Smith on .

Jeff Saturday not only thinks Peyton Manning will play for the Colts next year but that he'll start:

"There's nobody who'd you go get that's gonna play better than (Manning) right away. And he's the man I think leads you to the best chance to win," said Saturday, a teammate of Manning's since 1999.

"If he's healthy, he's on your roster, he's your starter. And he plays. I don't know anything about Andrew Luck, I haven't watched Andrew Luck, I don't watch Stanford, I don't know anything about that. What I do know is what Peyton Manning has done his entire career.

"If I'm the coach or GM, he's my guy."

Two things for the entire staff of Colts Authority:

(1) Thanks for creating this great site.

(2) And much more important, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for linking to this article. I did not see it or hear about it, so if you hadn't linked to it I would have know nothing about it. (And any glimmer of hope for #18 is welcomed by me right now.)

I don't know... I'd say Saturday stopped short of saying Manning WOULD play for the Colts. But you got me to look

@LovinBlue Well ya, unless he has some insider information (which I'm sure he wouldn't divulge anyway), he has to couch his statement with "if he's healthy".

It does make me feel a little better. It's all a big if. I think we'll get a better understanding (slightly) once we hear who the new coach is.
