Possibly. It all depends on Manning's health at draft time I suppose. Honestly, I don't know much about college football or it's players. I'm just speaking from all the articles I've read online. If Luck really is as good as everyone says he is, then no team with the first draft pick should pass up the opportunity to pick him up. What this season has shown for the Colts is that they are nothing without Manning and desperately need another good QB to back him up and replace him in the future.

Suppose Manning does come back next season and gets injured again. That leaves the Colts exactly where they are now, with no QB and a waste of a season. Of course you can argue that they could focus their rebuilding efforts elsewhere, but it's hard to be successful without at least a somewhat decent QB on your team. Put a good QB in there and you have somewhat of a chance to be good.
