While I do believe there is a possibility that Manning will miss 1-2 games at the beginning of the season, I still think they win 9+ games this year. I have never seen an individual football player that brings so much value to his team. The entire Colts franchise is dependent upon this one hall of fame quarterback. If you eliminated the quarterback from the equation and looked at the rest of the team, the bills have a more talented roster. Remove Fitzpatrick and insert Peyton Manning and the Buffalo Bills would be a playoff caliber team. This is why the quarterback position is the most critical part of the offense in my opinion. It is beneficial to land a great Running back, left tackle, or corner back in the draft, but when you inherit a special franchise quarterback that is an unquestioned leader of the offense, it can instantly change the fate of your football team.
