Unless you have lived under a rock since Saturday, then you know Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre’s touchdown record on Sunday versus the San Francisco 49ers.Manning now has 510 career passing touchdowns. Favre is second with 508 touchdowns.

Let’s go back to 2011 when Peyton Manning played for the Indianapolis Colts. He missed all of the 2011 season with a severe neck injury. No one knew if Peyton Manning would come back and play football again. Then on March 7, 2012 the Colts released Peyton. The Colts had the first overall pick in the 2012 draft and were ready to move on from their franchise quarterback of Manning, and draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Andrew coming out of college was suppose to be the next Peyton Manning. One of the most NFL ready quarterbacks to come out of college in awhile. Peyton and Andrew were also both selected first overall in there respected draft classes.

Peyton and his brother Eli have a quarterback camp in the summer that Andrew Luck attended when he was younger. Peyton’s dad Archie Manning played for the Houston Oilers for 2 years (1982-1983) and was replaced as starting quarterback by Andrew’s dad, Oliver Luck. So as you can see the Luck and Manning family has been tied together for decades. Mainly Mannings have been replaced by the Lucks, one on the Oilers and one for the Colts. Now Andrew Luck has a good chance to replace Manning again on the career touchdown list. Here is the quarterbacks first three NFL seasons:

Manning:

Age    Year     Yards   Touchdowns

 22    1998     3,739        26

 23    1999     4,135        26

 24    2000     2,150        15    (through 7 first games)

                        Total   10,024     67

              Luck:

              Age    Year     Yards   Touchdowns

               23    2012     4,374        23

               24    2013     3,822        23

               25    2014     2,331        19

                      Total    10,527      65

Luck has only played 7 games so far this year. So in 2000 Manning’s first 7 games he had 2,150 yards and 15 touchdowns. Manning ended the 2000 season with 4,413 yards and 33 touchdowns. Manning led the league in yards and touchdowns. So far this year Luck leads the league in yards and touchdowns. Luck is on pace to throw for 5,328 yards (which would only be about 100 yards less than the record of yards in the season, held by none other than Peyton) and 43 touchdowns this year. So far for both Manning and Luck have very similar numbers through their first three NFL seasons.

As you can see from my the chart Manning was 22 years old when he started and Luck was 23. As I stated earlier that Manning missed all of the 2011 season, so Manning and Luck could be playing at the even amount of years now. Manning is also only about 5,000 passing yards away from becoming the all time leader in passing, which Luck has a chance of beating him at that record too. We have a long way to wait to find out, but until then Luck and Manning could find something else to have in common.

The Indianapolis Colts chose to cut ties with their future Hall of Famer quarterback Peyton Manning the end of 2011. Owner Jim Irsay wanted to go in a different direction, as the quarterback was suffering from a severe neck injury and also some internal power struggles were engaged.

Jim Irsay did just that, as they said goodbye to Peyton Manning they said hello to Andrew Luck. They drafted Luck with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Andrew Luck was considered the most NFL-ready quarterback to ever come out of college since Peyton Manning in 1998. But the wounds were still open in Indianapolis, as they weren’t ready to let go of their prized player in Manning.

Fast forward two and a half years later, and now you have the future in Andrew Luck which has potential that is unlimited. In his first two NFL seasons, he led the Colts to an 11-5 record. Not bad for a young quarterback that is always going to be in the shadow of the great Peyton Manning. Before he joined the Indianapolis Colts, they were an off-balance team that went 2-14, and then Andrew Luck came to save the day and became their saviour.

Many people were stating in the beginning of this season, that the Indianapolis Colts made a bad decision on letting Peyton Manning go. The reason why fans and the media felt this way was because Andrew Luck led his team to an 0-2 start. Then the NFL world started to panic and question the young star’s ability, to lead this once powered offense back to an elite level.

Now that the Indianapolis Colts are 4-2, after their win Thursday night against the Houston Texans, NFL fans are starting to believe in him again. Andrew Luck in the next three years will be the best quarterback in the NFL; guaranteed. He not only has a strong arm, but he’s very mobile in getting his team those extra yards for a first down. In his first two seasons, he’s accumulated 8,196 passing yards. The way he’s throwing the ball so far this year, he’s on target to throw for over 5,000 yards and 40 or more touchdowns this season.

At only 25-years-old and in his third NFL season, I can say that the Indianapolis Colts definitely made the right decision in drafting Andrew Luck. Hopefully some Super Bowls will come later for this young phenomenon.
