When the Colts hire Bruce Arians has their new offensive coordinator on Monday the question on everyone’s minds will be front and center; will Manning be the starting quarterback in 2012, assuming he is healthy enough to play.

The Arians hire makes perfect sense, and it is starting to show what they plan on doing with Manning and Luck. Arians worked with Manning for his first three years. He is excited to come back to Indianapolis because it is a great opportunity for him, and maybe so he can help Manning finish his career. It is the perfect scenario for all parties involved. Manning finishes his career in Indy, Luck learns from the best and gets his opportunity in the future. Arians becomes one of the most sought out offensive coordinators in the game and head coach Pagano, has a successful first few years with the Colts. Oh yeah, don’t forget Jim Irsay. Irsay will not become the owner that everyone loves to hate. Instead he was smart and kept Manning, let him retire as a Colt on his own terms- everyone wins right?

Yeah, maybe in the perfect world this happens. I believe hiring Arians is the right choice. He was able to mold Manning, in his first three years, to the quarterback he is today. Maybe the Colts are thinking he could do the same thing with Andrew Luck. At least we know they have an offensive coordinator that has done a great job in the past, and the future is bright for the Colts offense no matter who is under center.

One thing to think about that I find kind of funny is that a former Raven and a Steeler coach will be working together.
