7. The Fact That He Played For The Colts... When He Plays Against The Colts
Manning left the Colts as a legend, and upon his return to the Lucas Oil Stadium, he was greeted by thousands of fans who still reserve a place in their hearts for him, but there's a new lion stalking to the head of the pride in Indy. Andrew Luck has already drawn a scary amount of comparisons to Manning, and after three sensational career-opening seasons, he's already tipped to smash the records Peyton is currently setting. The Luck-Manning battle is hyped up massively every time the pair meet, and before his career is even over, people have already written off Manning. He'll obviously want the Colts to succeed, but not being able to shake off the Luck comparisons must be frustrating, especially now Luck has the edge on him with an AFC Divisional win over the Broncos.
