Manning saga

It is apparent that no matter which team tries to move on with it's future and draft a quarterback, the old QB's feelings get hurt and everyone gets worked up about it.
We as sports fans and sports fanatics always seem to want to reward players with past feats rather than what they are capable of doing in the future. It just does not make any sense. There is no normal job in the world where you get paid for what you have done, sure they go off your work experience, but they hire you based on what you are capable of doing. Every player in every sport seems to want to get paid based on what they have done, even though it may not be in the best interest of the franchise. Some people don't realize the owners have to always look to the future and the success of the team.
Whether it be Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Albert Pujols, or Jorge Posada there will always come a time when a player has to move on from a team. The sooner we come to grips with that, the better type of fan we can be and we will understand much better the thought process the owner's go through. Do this and I promise you will have a much more enjoyable experience as a fan.
In the case of Manning, I believe it is in the best interest of both parties to go their separate ways. Right now the Manning saga is overshadowing the Super Bowl and that is not what you want. The owner and the general manager should have resolved this issue long before letting it get to this point. It has drug on for far too long. There is a new coach along with an entirely new staff, so it is logical to start over with Andrew Luck in the draft. Take my advice and get it over with, Manning will be fine and your franchise will be set for the future.
