I'm about to run out of credit rockettube.com Instead, Irsay fired Manning after firing GM Bill Polian and coach Jim Caldwell. Polian told me recently that if he remained, his plan was to pick up Manning芒聙聶s option (of course, Irsay would have had to sign off on that kind of financial commitment) and draft Luck. He felt with the rookie wage scale limiting Luck to a five-year $22.1 million deal that it was feasible to carry both QBs and then let Luck learn behind Manning. Polian said he had already told Manning it was time to look for his successor. Polian wanted both for 2012.
