...Or are they still better off with Andrew Luck?
The Broncos ARE in the playoffs and Indianapolis isn't.
And Peyton may not retire next year.

No. It was a business decision. They would have owed him millions and at the time, his health had tons of unknowns.

I'm of the opinion, that you should never get rid of a franchise quarterback but that's just me.

If the goal of your franchise isn't to win post season games, then maybe yes, the Colts were justified in letting Peyton go. Not every program is about winning. Look at the 49ers firing Harbaugh

They are better off now with Luck. They at least know who their franchise QB can be for the next 8+ years. This might be Peyton's last game.

They have another 10 years of Luck so it was the right call. But who knows they could have another Super Bowl.

It was absolutely the only call to make at the time.

Let's see, the objective is to win. Hell yes, dumb question.

Goes without saying that I'm a PM fan but the Colts did have to look after their future even though Peyton is the better QB, he won't be around much longer. That said, I DO think they did him dirty. He deserved better.
