If the guy is going to be an elite QB in the NFL it's going to take a while. SO, you might as well see what you've got with Manning, and then take somebody else next year.

They need to draft for right now, and worry about the future next year.
I guess I see an apprentice to manning as something I'd rather do earlier than later...
